On Friday night, at Albert Park, in San Rafael, California, the Sonoma Stompers ran onto the pitching mound, hugged one another, laughed, and sprayed champagne. Jose Flores, their six-foot-four closer, had just sailed a fastball by the San Rafael Pacifics slugger Brent Gillespie, leaving the bases loaded and preserving the team’s 5–4 victory. With it, the Stompers claimed the Pacific Association title. Five hundred and ninety-two fans were on hand…

We’re smack-dab in the middle of another season of baseball. Baseball was a big part of my childhood. It’s funny though, because after I wrote that, I thought through the years I played Little League as a kid and I only played baseball for five or six summers. Yet, it feels like I always played baseball. The smell from the jasmine vines on the left field fence wafting across the…

Cue the theme from “The Natural,”  though, OK, maybe “Mission: Impossible” is more appropriate. Former Heisman Trophy winner and NFL quarterback turned ESPN personality Tim Tebow, 29, will work out this week in Southern California for up to two-thirds of MLB teams, in hopes of landing a baseball contract. Here’s what you need to know.  MORE: Sporting News ranks the MLB managers, 1-30 When and where is the workout? Tebow is scheduled…

No successful sports league publicly apologizes for its play as often as Major League Baseball. Almost weekly, MLB commissioner Rob Manfred reaffirms his commitment to trimming the fat from the game: less time between pitches, less time between innings, and fewer pitching changes; maybe not fewer innings, but fine, fewer games. Baseball is the big eater who’s living large but perpetually promising that a diet is about to begin. Many…

Phillies bench coach Larry Bowa has never been shy to share his opinion—especially when it has to do with right and wrong in the game of baseball. So when broached about the idea of Tim Tebow working out for major league teams—including the one Bowa currently works for—the former manager didn’t mince words, per The Boston Globe: “Whoever’s idea it is, they don’t respect the game of baseball,” Bowa said. “It’s…

For those who are unfamiliar with my thought process, I aim to add as many home run hitters as possible to my daily fantasy baseball lineups. One way of doing that is to look at a player’s isolated power numbers (ISO). The ISO statistic removes singles and provides a larger weight for each extra-base hit. I also use the weighted on-base average (wOBA) metric. This stat takes every positive outcome into consideration. Last year,…

Trout signed a baseball for the boy, who couldn’t believe the moment was really happening The fan appears to tell Trout “I love you man, you’re my favorite player ever,” before running back…

If you didn’t know that the U.S. has a women’s national baseball team, join the club. Plenty of people in this country don’t even know that women play baseball; softball, it’s believed, is the equivalent sport for women. But enough women play that last week, the team held tryouts. On Thursday, they announced the 20-player roster for the upcoming Women’s Baseball World Cup in South Korea, which will take place…

Lawrence High baseball coach Brad Stoll has watched countless baseball games and there was one earlier this month that he said he would never forget. With more than 3,000 fans in attendance for the Cape Cod League championship — the final game of a three-game series in the prestigious collegiate summer baseball league — the energy in the stadium was electric. One of the bonuses for Stoll, in his seventh…

The modern ballpark is tucked into an entertainment district, with shops and restaurants surrounding the stadium, and blindingly bright digital display signs wherever you look. The ballpark here is across Chester Avenue from Big Valley Mower, Extra Space Storage and AAA Tire. The large sign welcoming you to Sam Lynn Ballpark is home to a few too many cobwebs, and to a weathered gold banner with a simple message for…

The university itself confirmed that the rocker graced their field Friday. Jack White (White Stripes) was on campus today playing baseball with…
