A “Star Wars” baseball team? I’ve got a bad feeling about this. – NBCSports.com

Tuesday, December 15, 2015

There is a Star Wars movie coming out this week. I know, I was shocked too. There’s hardly been any talk about it. You may have also heard that the folks who own the Star Wars franchise — an obscure, rodent-based corporation with operations in Florida and California — also happen to own ESPN. This provides an opportunity for synergy. A strange bit of synergy in which ESPN’s baseball writers…

Pete Rose remains banned for life from Major League Baseball. Commissioner Rob Manfred announced Monday that he had rejected Rose’s plea for reinstatement, citing his continued gambling and evidence that he bet on games when he was playing for the Cincinnati Reds.

It’s called the wow factor, and Knoxville Christian School baseball coach Patrick Wade said that Paul Komistek is one of those rare players who has it.

BASEBALL: MLB commissioner denies Rose reinstatement – Grand Forks Herald

Monday, December 14, 2015

MLB said Manfred contacted Rose on Monday to inform him of the ruling. “Mr. Rose’s public and private comments, including his initial admission in 2004, provide me with little confidence that he has a mature understanding of his wrongful conduct, that he has accepted full responsibility for it, or that he understands the damage he has caused,” Manfred said in his decision. In his statement, Manfred also tried to clarify…

Major League Baseball Finally Has A Domestic Violence Policy. Now Comes The … – ThinkProgress

Monday, December 14, 2015

This year, domestic violence became an issue Major League Baseball could no longer ignore. Officials observed the backlash the NFL faced over its bungling of the Ray Rice case and knew they weren’t prepared to face a similar incident. The league enlisted the help of Futures Without Violence, a well established domestic violence awareness organization, and partnered with the MLB Players Association, the sport’s union, to craft a comprehensive policy…
