Bryce Harper began this season with one personal goal — and it had nothing to do with homers, RBIs or awards. “All I wanted to do was stay healthy and stay on the field every day,” he said. Harper did that, and a lot more. The Washington slugger put behind his injury-plagued past and put up huge numbers, becoming the youngest unanimous MVP winner in baseball history when he captured…

When you think of the photographer Ansel Adams, you might imagine majestic scenes from Yosemite or the Tetons, conveyed in glorious, high-contrast black-and white. You’re less likely to picture the man himself, and certainly unlikely to imagine him dressed for a baseball game, wearing a catcher’s mask and a chest protector. But that’s how he was captured, in the nineteen-seventies, by the photographer Mike Mandel. Then a graduate student at…

Between 6 and 7 p.m. Thursday evening, Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper will probably be named the National League’s most valuable player. Nothing is certain. Perhaps Harper’s outdated reputation as a precocious but petulant starlet swayed some voters away from him. General consensus holds that his numbers — the sum of which represents one of the most dominant offensive seasons in history — probably overpowered any doubts. We’ll find out soon enough. Harper wanted…

The brand’s celebrity affiliations include New York Knicks basketball star Carmelo Anthony and rapper 50 Cent. TMZ reported that RevolutionWear’s suit claimed Jeter objected to 50 Cent’s involvement because it would make the brand too “urban.” 50 Cent responded to the report of Jeter’s comment by posting a photo of him on Instagram and a message that said, “Wow, guess I’m not a Yankees fan anymore. LETS…

Arguments to look the other way on actual or alleged PED use, to rationalize away the character imperative when assessing the likes of Bonds, Clemens, Bagwell, Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, or Mike Piazza, have grabbed at everything from Gaylord Perry’s nefarious use of Vaseline for spitballs to Ty Cobb’s purported racism.

The decision was spurred by research from Lawrence County baseball coach Travis Feltner, a proponent for a move to a three-class…
