This story appears in the Oct. 26, 2015, issue of Sports Illustrated. To subscribe, click here. A waning gibbous moon hung like a medallion over Charlestown, N.H., on the first clear night after a three-day nor’easter. A light wind rustled the lindens and oaks along Main Street. The bells of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church suddenly began clanging at the strange hour of 1:07 a.m. Such an intrusion on the dead…

The Wednesday baseball playoffs game thread – Camden Chat

Wednesday, October 21, 2015

It is entirely possible that there will be no baseball between today and the start of the World Series. That would be five days of baseball-less time, and about the only good thing you can say about that is it would get us prepped for the baseball-less months to come. The Blue Jays are backed up against the wall. They’ve avoided being swept but have otherwise not seemed especially…

Postseason Day Baseball is Stupid – Complex

Wednesday, October 21, 2015

Back in 2000, when I was in the seventh grade, the Chicago White Sox pounded the shit out of the baseball, grabbed 95 wins, and won their division for the first time in seven years. Then, in the playoffs, their league-leading offense disappeared, and they got swept out of the ALDS in three games by the wild card Seattle Mariners. What was a six-month thrill ride ended in less than…

Royals’ Mike Moustakas, Chris Young have leaned on baseball amid grief – FOXSports.com

Wednesday, October 21, 2015

We watch the games, and the players are just faces or numbers, millionaires paid to entertain us. Yet, for all their fame and fortune, nothing can prevent them from experiencing loss like the rest of us. Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas lost his mother, Connie, on Aug. 9. His teammate, right-hander Chris Young, lost his father, Charles, on Sept. 26. The two took a break on Sunday from the American…

2-year-old baseball prodigy is a big hit with a bat (VIDEO) – NJ.com

Tuesday, October 20, 2015

CLARK — Sure, Michael Riley is still in diapers, but put him in coach, he’s definitely ready to play. This 2-year-old, pint-sized slugger is obsessed with baseball, rarely misses a pitch and regularly dazzled beachgoers in Lavallette this summer with his hitting, his mother Nicole Riley said. “He’d draw crowds,” she said. “They would stand around and watch him and cheer, and he would just think that was the best. Or…

What Baseball Taught Me – The Players Tribune

Monday, October 19, 2015

Baseball is such a wonderfully unique game. It doesn’t require some extraordinary physical prowess or stature as much as it requires hard work. People of all shapes and sizes have been some of the greatest in our game. If you saw a professional baseball player sitting in a coffee shop, you may not be able to single him out of the crowd — not usually the case with a football…

Baseball broadcasts batter the senses – Washington Post

Sunday, October 18, 2015

Bank of America asks, “What is your favorite baseball memory?” (A better question is, “What is your favorite banking memory?” That’s easy — walking into a B of A in which the teller-window line isn’t 15 deep.) Favorite baseball memory? Listening to games on a transistor radio. Because watching games now — and many this postseason have been terrific — is an unceasing babble-filled, graphics-filled, replay-filled, commercial-filled, stress-filled slog-and-a-half. (On…

How to play Canadian baseball – Royals Review

Sunday, October 18, 2015

Even though the country is our upstairs neighbor, Canada does a lot of things differently. They put their police on horseback, the queen on their money, and gravy on their fries. Their football fields are 10 yards longer, presumably because 100 is too round of a number. And to be honest, some of the things that Canada does differently aren’t too bad. But be prepared for some…
