At least two people from work will start wearing tweed vests to the office and talk loudly about apple-picking adventures. 2. You will reach your limit on pumpkin spice everything. 3. Baseball fans will be deluged by the true but banal observation that the sport’s…

Some people wear gloves to baseball games, hoping to catch a foul ball, hoping a piece of on-field equipment helps them on the off chance they’re lucky enough to have a baseball hit their way. But people bringing just one glove to a baseball game will surely fail. Because they are not as prepared as TWO GLOVES GUY: Did this guy really bring 2 gloves pic.twitter.com/WJGCahzImn …

This time of year has always had a special meaning for me. The baseball playoffs are going on now and the Kansas City Royals are making a run for the World Series. “Back in the day,” I would be getting my playoff/World Series outfits together for another October run. For a Florida girl, that meant buying a coat that I would never wear once the season was over. My husband,…

“Baseball just doesn’t have rules from another time. It has an old-fashioned code, too. When you score in baseball, the code says: ‘You better not look too happy about it.’ . . . It’s the only game where there’s a ‘right way’ to play the game . . . the way it was played 100 years ago. This code doesn’t exist in other places where they play baseball, like Korea, where bat flipping is…

There are some things that simply need to be seen to be believed. And yet, there remain some things that still seem impossible even when you have video evidence staring you right back in the face. Case in point: this incredible video depicting a man slicing a baseball clean in half with a samurai sword. What makes the video so remarkable is that the baseball is travelling at 101 mph,…

Every pro sport gets better in the playoffs — but baseball is transformed. For 10 days — with comebacks, tape-measure home runs, leg-breaking slides, bench-clearing feuds, smart unorthodox managing and scads of rookie stars — the first wave of MLB’s postseason has been cresting. This week, it hit shore with a glorious crash. On Tuesday, generations of fans contorted their faces in glee as the Cubs won a postseason series…

The baseball championships are on and things are looking good for the New York Mets and Chicago Cubs, two teams considered underdogs.

Now toss in a smart remote that illuminates when you pick it up off the beer fridge, a near-photorealistic MLB video game to play between broadcasted playoff games and…

Did you know where the term “tabloid” came from? It’s newspaper printing jargon. “Tabloid” just refers to a certain size of paper. Later it started to mean “sleazy,” since some newspapers of that size were pretty sleazy. Not like newspapers of regular size always weren’t. I like tabloids. The free ones you get in flimsy weatherbeaten plastic boxes all over America. There’s things like trucker dating tabloids, with hopeful…
