We know we can beat those guys. This was a big day for…

After topping the major leagues during the first half of the season as they seek their first Worold Series title in more than a century, the Chicago Cubs dominated the rosters for next week’s All-Star Game. In the process, they equaled a distinction achieved by the 1963 Cardinals. The Cubs’ entire infield was voted to start the contest, on Tuesday in San Diego — first baseman Anthony…

Caption Close STAMFORD — There were plenty of hugs, jokes, embellishments and food. But most importantly, there was an abundance of love when the 1991 Stamford Senior Babe Ruth Baseball All-Star team held a 25-year reunion. Many of the former teammates traveled across the country and brought their families to Stamford to relive a wonderful summer memory and display the bond that made the group special. “We had thought about…

As baseballs traditions go, this one isn’t as steeped as the seventh-inning stretch but it is tied to it. The ceremonial standing in the middle of the seventh inning for a singalong of “Take me out the ballgame,” “Cotton Eye Joe” or “Sweet Caroline” vary by the crowd.  But in most every ballpark in America, however, we sing “God Bless America.” Baseball only embraced the Irving Berlin classic in the…

When the Tom Sox picked up College of Charleston second baseman Dupree Hart, team management knew they had a good infielder on their hands. They just didn’t know how good. Hart has steadily proven that he has star qualities as a second baseman in the field, and now that he’s starting to swing the bat, the sky is the limit for the Rock Hill, South Carolina, native. “We knew we…

A Southern California community was opening its arms to a young baseball team from central Mexico, which was suddenly stranded without a sponsor. The teenagers came to California as part of their league play this summer, but said their sponsor in Mexico was no longer paying their expenses. They’re staying at the De Paul Evangelization Center in Montebello but were in need of meals and rides to their games through…

BETHLEHEM, N.Y. (NEWS10) – More than 100 baseball fans in Bethlehem celebrated America’s birthday on Monday by enjoying America’s favorite pastime. But the game they watched was not played as it is today, rather, it was played the way baseball was in 1864. On Monday, it was the New York Mutuals versus the Bethlehem Braves. “This is our eighth year up here,” Mutuals Captain Thomas “Dirt” Fioriglio said. “Part of our…

Despite being the social-media savvy guy that I am (what’s Snapchat again?), sometimes I am woefully unaware of some well-known people out there (this is not necessarily a bad thing). Case in point: Zack Hemple, who is known as Foul Ball Guy. As his Twitter account notes, he is a baseball collector. On Sunday, he tweeted this: That’s Hemple at the Marlins-Braves game played Sunday at Fort Bragg, N.C. As…

Baseball fans Sharon DeWulf, of Colona, and her daughter, Jennifer DeWulf, of Moline, pose for a photo Monday at the Baseball Hall of Fame Tour at Modern Woodmen Park in Davenport.

There was a sense of wonderment from every perspective Sunday when Major League Baseball staged the first regular-season professional game on an active military base. The unlikely convergence of efforts that brought the Miami Marlins and Atlanta Braves together on this field that rose from a ramshackle abandoned golf course in less than four months crystalized when the 82nd Combat Aviation Brigade flew four giant military helicopters out of the…

Kris Bryant, Nolan Arenado, and reigning AL MVP Josh Donaldson have all swatted 20+ homers already this season, plus Evan Longoria and Manny Machado are not too far behind with 18 each. Also in that mix is one of baseball’s most unheralded great young players, Diamondbacks third baseman Jake Lamb. Lamb, who is in his…

It looks like someone crashed the Marlins-Braves game at Fort Bragg on Sunday night, and it’s causing quite the uproar. Self-proclaimed baseball collector Zack Hample tweeted an image of a baseball he obtained during the special event, sparking a significant amount of criticism on Twitter. Fort Bragg commemorative baseballs? Oh yes! Martin Prado just tossed this to me after the 3rd inning. pic.twitter.com/OQoGJfExbR — Zack Hample (@zack_hample) July 4, 2016…

Hubert Edwards lived at Fort Bragg before he deployed in 1942 to serve in World War II in Europe, where his love for baseball grew while he listened to parts of games on grainy radio broadcasts that provided equal parts joy and fear. The joy was easy enough to understand. Those broadcasts soothed American troops with familiar sounds of home during the war. Edwards, now 97, his voice still strong,…
