College Baseball doesn’t generally attract a lot of attention, but a lot of eyes will be on the Palmetto State this weekend as the premier rivalry in college baseball takes place between Clemson and South Carolina. This rivalry has a lot of history to it with no love lost for the opponent on either side. This will be the first series since 1993 without Coach Leggett in the dugout for…

There is no stronger union in American sports than the MLBPA, which will celebrate its 50th anniversary during the 2016 season. There have been union efforts in baseball almost since the sport’s beginning, but the MLBPA as it exists now was born in 1966. That year, players made Marvin Miller, a Brooklyn-born economist and a former negotiator for the United Steelworkers, their first executive director, a move that immediately began to…

I spent the last two days sifting through more than 5,000 different pictures from Photo Day. You might think this is a fun way to spend several hours. You are wrong. These pictures are not for us. They are usually functional, unremarkable pictures, ostensibly to be used on scoreboards and at the top of baseball articles about baseball. There are thousands of them. They are practical. Yet every year,…

12:04 PM ET print It’s about the process, not the results. Baseball is an engrossing, yet sometimes downright maddening game, full of twists and turns that challenge our wits.

Look, I think you should brace yourself. I just want you to be prepared, because this conspiracy theory is … troubling. It involves professional sports, an adorable, heartwarming tale and a very good dog. Maybe two very good dogs. First, the backstory: In 2014, a little white pup turned up at the Milwaukee Brewers’ spring training facility in Arizona. The Brewers were, of course, completely charmed, because duh. Just check out this doggie: Hank!!! (Rick…

(Professional Sports Authenticator via AP) A treasure trove of vintage Ty Cobb baseball cards, produced in the early 1900s as part of a set that collectors call “The Monster,” has been discovered in one of the oddest places imagineable — a beat-up paper bag inside the dilapidated house of a deceased great-grandfather. Imagine the reaction of the family members, who wish to remain anonymous, when they opened the bag and found…

LOS ANGELES — From a crumpled paper bag in a dilapidated house came a baseball-card find of a lifetime. Seven of them actually. Card experts in Southern California say they have verified the legitimacy — and seven-figure total value — of seven identical Ty Cobb cards from the printing period of 1909 to 1911. Before the recent find, there were only about 15 known to still exist. Joe Orlando, the…

This treasure almost ended up in the trash. Seven century-old baseball cards found recently inside a crumpled paper bag in the south have been authenticated as rare Ty Cobb cards, a California-based memorabilia expert announced Wednesday. The seven T206 Ty Cobb cards from a 1909-1911 series are expected to be worth “well into the seven figures” altogether, Joe Orlando, president of Professional Sports Authenticator in Newport Beach said. The cards…

Brett Phillips, the Brewers’ 21-year-old outfielder, won’t make the big club out of camp, though as one of the franchise’s better prospects, it wouldn’t be crazy to see him come up later this year. In the meantime he’s here to get better, and to show coaches what he can do, and maybe some other baseball stuff. He’s really here for everyone to marvel at his bizarre laugh. Like pitcher Will…
