Minnesota History: Rekindling a baseball great’s legacy – Minneapolis Star Tribune
Upward of 25,000 scraps of paper and yellowed newspaper clippings in Peter Gorton’s northeast Minneapolis basement tell dual stories that intersect at an improbable place: the central Minnesota town of Bertha. That mountain of research chronicles the dominant but largely forgotten career of a black baseball pitcher named John Wesley Donaldson. The other plot line centers on Gorton, a 46-year-old speech consultant and tireless researcher. For 14 years, Gorton has…

Mets’ Tim Tebow has yet to impress scouts with baseball skills – Newsday
MESA, Arizona — Regarding Tim Tebow’s future in baseball, the needle has not moved very much.

Tebow, the former NFL quarterback who turned 29 in August, started out 0-for-12 in Arizona, but has picked it up a bit this week with…

Medium-Data Baseball – Lookout Landing
As the off-season settles upon us, I am picking up my series of baseball book reviews again, to keep the home fires burning over the long, dreary off-season. Feel free to shoot recommendations my way over on Twitter or in the comments! This is half a book review—Big Data Baseball, by Travis Sawchik, which was recommended to me by Isabelle—and half a meditation on the Mariners’ rebuilding process under Jerry…
The 7 Top Baseball-Themed Musical Numbers – Playbill.com
Despite the old stereotype that theatre and sports don’t mix, musical theatre has tackled a number of sporting events, whether it’s a show with a plot all about sports, like Damn Yankees, or just a single number, like “She Likes Basketball” from Promises, Promises. With the 2016 World Series starting soon (it begins Tuesday, October 25), we’re taking a look at seven times musical theatre sang about baseball, from drama…
The Cubs Have To Win A Baseball Game – Deadspin
Sean M. Haffey/Getty Images I read this the other day, a throwaway line that made me do a double take: The Cubs have never won an NLCS. Well, sure they haven’t. League championship series have only been around since 1969, and the Cubs haven’t been to a World Series since 1945. It’s a useless, obvious bit of trivia—barely a factoid—but it’s a good example of how, when we’re talking about…
Baseball memorabilia is auction gold – CBS News – CBS News
Nearly a century since being banned from baseball after being implicated in the Black Sox scandal, “Shoeless Joe” Jackson, who died in 1951, continues to captivate fans of America’s pastime. That’s why anything associated with the legendary slugger attracts top dollar in the sports memorabilia market. One of Jackson’s bats fetched $583,500 Thursday at a Christie’s auction despite having what the auction house described as a “substantial” crack. And a signed…

Germany Reports Attacks by Clowns Wielding Chainsaws and Baseball Bats – TIME
Creepy clowns have been reportedly menacing residents in Germany with weapons that include chainsaws and a baseball bat, authorities said. The mass hysteria surrounding frightening jesters has made its way to parts of northern and western Germany after consuming most of the U.S. and spreading to other parts of Europe. Rostock police on Friday said they’ve taken down two reports of clowns attacking with baseball bats, though it’s unclear if…

Major League Baseball hopes that Africa’s got talent – PRI
At a baseball diamond on the outskirts of Johannesburg, 17-year-old Koketso Manamela steps up to the plate. He looks out at the pitcher, who kicks his leg and delivers a pitch. Manamela swings his bat and, with a crack, drives the ball deep into the outfield. He sprints around the bases, which are spread across the grassy infield of a converted cricket ground. This story is based on a radio…
