Tragic end to baseball-loving couple’s story – Houston Chronicle
As a devoted St. Louis Cardinals fan, Mike Dawid never let his wife, Ellie, forget about Albert Pujols’ game-winning home run in the 2005 National League Championship Series.

Here’s why Jose Altuve is one of the oddest hitters in baseball – CBSSports.com
All the advanced metrics agree: Jose Altuve has been the most productive hitter in the American League.

Such harmony is difficult to find when it comes to more subjective titles — say,…

There is officially a possum delay at the @RazorbackBSB game. Can’t make that up @THV11 pic.twitter.com/nSIplsBn3n — Hayden Balgavy (@HaydenBalgavy) May 8, 2016 So this is something you don’t see everyday on a baseball field, and Carson Shaddy, the Arkansas outfielder, wasn’t quite sure what to do about the situation.

A backyard baseball field is used for a fundaiser to help the local community of Arvada. ARVADA – Horses used to roam the pasture beside Dave Brown’s home in northwest Arvada, but on Saturday morning, it was full of Vipers and Tigers. “The Vipers verses the Tigers,” Brown said with a smile. “This is baseball at its finest right here.” Six years ago, Brown converted his pasture off McIntyre Court…

An L series is creeping into the thoughts of Chicagoans as the Cubs, as…

Waiting for Ted Williams: Baseball’s .400 hitters, some of the time – CBSSports.com
The .400 hitter is of course one of baseball’s most elusive and lionized figures. While we’ve had a couple of near-misses over the years (Tony Gwynn in 1994 and George Brett in 1980, for instance), no qualifier has managed to hit .400 since Ted Williams batted .406 way back yonder in 1941. As for this season, we’ve got one .400 hitter left standing: Nationals second baseman Daniel Murphy, who enters…

‘Weaponized Baseball’ explores weird and worrisome aspects of the sport – cleveland.com
CLEVELAND, Ohio — Spring has finally arrived, and baseball is back once again. Ah yes, the sport that builds nations, foments revolution, distracts from scandals and massacres, propagandizes national policy, becomes a tool of war and espionage, and may have been the reason why Gen. George Armstrong Custer made his last stand. At least that’s baseball according to Scott Rowan, author of the new book, “Weaponized Baseball: Declassified, Withheld Stories Reveal…
