Whether you’re trying to patch together $100 for a youth trip or $100 million to pay for a facility upgrade, fundraising can be an arduous task. Even if you make an emotional connection with a prospective donor, there’s still the matter of convincing that person to give his or her hard-earned money away. On occasion, though, it happens naturally. When it does, it’s a beautiful thing — as Gophers baseball…

Texas high school baseball players are accused of running a “fight club” in the batting cages after a school district’s investigation also found that the team’s coaches subjected players to demeaning comments. Complaints from the players’ parents led to the revelation of the fight club, as well as reports that Plano East High School head baseball coach Travis Collins and assistant coach Reagan Allen subjected players to demeaning, and…

NORMAN — Cody Thomas leaned against the rail at the top of the dugout steps. These days, helmet and shoulder pads have been replaced by a baseball cap and cleats. Since the back-up Oklahoma quarterback announced a week ago that he was leaving football to concentrate on baseball, the crunch of tackles has given way to the ping of base hits.  But as Thomas watched the late innings of an intrasquad scrimmage during Oklahoma’s first official…

Say what you want about A.J. Preller’s offseason, the haul he received for Craig Kimbrel alone went a long ways toward beefing up the Padres’ depleted farm system. Nevertheless, the second-year general manager still has a long road to hoe. Even with the shortstop and center fielder of the future finally in hand (or so Preller hopes), the Padres’ farm system ranks 26th in the majors, according to Baseball America’s…

Mike Trout’s highlights are so good that they find new ways to live on forever. Last September, Trout robbed Seattle Mariners first baseman (and former Yankees prospect) Jesus Montero with this home-run saving grab in Los Angeles. While the video is on the internet for baseball fans to gawk at, Topps Company re-invented the still shot as baseball card. In a recent vote by MLB fans, the image of Trout jumping for…

I need to get out more. Baseball executives need to get out more, too. On Friday night, I was in Toronto for “Pitch Talks,” a speaker series about baseball, serving on a panel with Arden Zwelling and Ben Nicholson-Smith of Rogers SportsNet. Midway through the session, a fan asked a seemingly routine question, wondering whether we thought the Blue Jays would extend the contract of right fielder Jose Bautista. What…

America’s particular obsession with celebrity, our elaborate, artificial, often misleading, hero-creation industry, reflects a deep national craving, a vast emptiness in the heart of the American soul. The nineteenth century novelist Henry James complained that America—the homeland he abandoned for Great Britain—lacked institutional anchors. The center of the New World, he lamented, has “No sovereign, no court, no personal loyalty, no aristocracy, no church, no clergy, no army, no diplomatic service,…

The Trinity College baseball team played host to dozens of kids and coaches from the Hartford Little League on Saturday. Helping the younger players improve their ball-playing skills was only part of reaching a much bigger goal. “They’re ready for spring right now,” said Bryan Adamski, Trinity College Head Baseball Coach. Adamski is one of the organizers of the Hartford chapter of the RBI program. Here, ‘RBI’ stands…

View photo . (AP) There’s no question where Los Angeles Dodgers star Clayton Kershaw stands when it comes to Major League Baseball potentially expanding the designated hitter. Speaking at a team function at Los Angeles City Hall on Friday, the former three-time Cy Young Award winner made it clear he is firmly against it, stating that baseball is meant to be a ‘two-sided’ game.

Two of the major prospect-ranking outlets have released their preseason lists, and the same man ranks at the top of both. MLB.com (top 100 here) and Baseball Prospectus (top 101 here) have each tabbed Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager as the top prospect in all of baseball. Seager, 21, got a taste of the bigs last season and made quite the impression. He hit .337/.425/.561 (173 OPS+!) with eight doubles, a…
