​The MLB All-Star Game is one of the most prestigious games on the major league calendar every season. This year’s game will be played Tuesday at Petco Park, home of the San Diego Padres. But there’s a lot on the schedule before it, like the Futures game and Home Run Derby. And since Thursday, the city had been full of events big and small that celebrate baseball, encourage staying active,…

Baseball, the national pastime, has a long history dating back to the 1840s. The game evolved from older bat-and-ball games from England such as cricket and Colonial America era games like one-o-cat, two-o-cat.

To most baseball fans, the Jackie Robinson story is about a beginning. To Bob Kendrick, it also represents an ending. “Breaking the color barrier brought the eventual demise of the Negro Leagues,” said Kendrick, president of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. Robinson broke baseball’s color barrier in 1947 when he debuted for the Brooklyn Dodgers. He opened the door for those who followed. The Negro Leagues continued another 13 years…

“We looked at softball and baseball as two of the traditional sports that have always been here at Stillman College, and two of the traditional sports that we’ve had a lot of success with,” Jackson said. “So in our efforts to boost enrollment, it was a good to retain softball and baseball.” In December, Stillman announced the move from the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference in NCAA division II to…

Yes, I am. My adoration of America’s Game began on a May night…

In fact, there are few drinking traditions in America as time honored as sipping a cold one while cheering (or jeering) on the home team. At the stadium, without leaving our seats, we buy oversized cups of frothy beer from old-timey hawkers and have even built into the game a pause, the seventh inning stretch, to refuel at the snack stand.

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,…

It’s the middle of July, the heart of the baseball season. But good luck finding an extensive amount of talk about the sport on the national TV network gabfest shows unless you’re tuned to MLB Network. Many of these programs are being dominated by sports that aren’t even in season. The NBA, especially Kevin Durant’s move from the Thunder to the Warriors and Dwyane Wade’s departure from…

When Amherst baseball comes to mind, it’s hard not to think of Stan Ziomek and his influence.

He injected life into youth baseball in 1952 by starting a league, as well as a Babe Ruth program. At little league camps every summer, the pint-sized…
