Over the next few weeks, college football’s bowl extravaganza will sweep the nation. Which, in addition to storied traditions like the Rose Bowl, means we’ll get not one, not two, not three but four games held in MLB stadiums: the Miami Beach Bowl at Marlins Park, the St. Petersburg Bowl at Tropicana Field, the Cactus Bowl at Chase Field and the Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium. Of course, this is hardly the…

Everybody loves a good prank, and few could argue the prank Kenta Maeda recently pulled on a youth baseball team in Japan was anything less than glorious. During an appearance on a Japanese game show, the Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander channeled the “Uncle Drew” character created by Cleveland Cavaliers star Kyrie Irving, meaning he dressed as an old man with designs on schooling some baseball hopefuls.
