Every now and then, an actor comes along who just owns an entire genre of movies. Think about the Meg Ryan-Tom Hanks heyday of romantic comedies, Will Ferrell in sports comedies — or of course, Kevin Costner and baseball. Over the years, the actor has starred in two of the greatest baseball films ever made (1988’s “Bull Durham” and 1989’s “Field of Dreams”), and an underrated near-classic (1999s “For Love…

Washington’s baseball team scored three runs in the seventh inning to complete a rally from a 6-1 deficit and beat UCLA 8-7 Saturday at Husky Ballpark and tie the three-game series at a game apiece. KJ Brady walked with the bases loaded — the third bases-loaded free pass issued by losing pitcher Tucker Forbes in the inning — to force in the go-ahead run. Washington (18-12, 8-6 Pac-12) had four…

Jackie Robinson(Photo: Detroit News archives) So often when you reach the late 80s and you are fortunate, there are precious flashbacks to your boyhood.

There is Lou Gehrig, who played with style and dignity, and the memory of a home run he hit into right field at…

Bryce Harper is loved by a lot of people and hated by a lot of people and there is no in-between. One thing everyone can agree on, though, is that he’s not afraid to take on baseball’s written or unwritten rules.

Caption Close NORWALK — As far as varsity debuts go, Norwalk pitcher Angel Nieves is certainly going to remember his for a long time. The senior right-hander was thrown into the fire by coach Pete Tucci, sent to the mound with the bases loaded and two outs in the fifth inning of a tied game. Nieves slammed the door shut on Danbury, notching a strikeout to get out of the…

Once my uncles got me into it, I became a baseball savant. I knew all the stats on each player and position because that directly impacted what I thought a card was worth. I was a card shark in these streets, buying up packs of Upper Deck, Donruss, Topps and Fleer cards and then buying Beckett’s baseball-card pricing guides every few months to keep up with my investment. I still…

April snow in Chicago is a rabbit punch from the devil himself, so Chance played it safe and floated the ball heavenward. And then he danced, because that is what Chance the Rapper does, and all was right and good at U.S. Cellular…

Atlanta Braves outfielder has been accused of assault in Arlington.

Thank you, Trevor Story. Thank you for putting Denver back on the baseball map. I don’t know if the rookie’s home-run magic has reached its expiration date or our city’s 15 minutes of fame and fun are done. But it has been an absolute blast. “We’re not used to getting national attention around here,” Rockies manager Walt Weiss told me Tuesday. “And the attention that Trevor Story is getting not…

At the ballpark, Smith was still riding high from his improbable feat. “I mean, I’ll play him again,” he said. Curry made 90 of 100 3-pointers during the practice before playing PIG, so the Angels felt pretty fortunate. Pennington, who gave Curry a ‘P’ in the PIG game with a shot from the right wing just inside the 3-point arc, caught 28 in a row on…
