Fans who couldn’t make the trip to Omaha, Nebraska are ramping up the noise back home in Charlottesville. It’s winner takes all in game three. “Hoping for a w,” said Trevie Pearlman, a UVa fourth year. For Virginia Cavalier fans a win comes with help from a school cheer and tailgating food. “This is a four pepper really hot sauce,” said Dave Shreve, a fan and father of a graduate….

0 Shares Print OMAHA, Neb. — Virginia completed an improbable run to its first national championship with another come-from-behind win Wednesday night at the College World Series — its seventh in 10 NCAA postseason victories in 2015 — to claim the first title in baseball for the Atlantic Coast Conference since Wake Forest in 1955. In a rematch of the championship series from a year ago, the Cavaliers beat Vanderbilt…

Major League Baseball is increasingly closer to having its first female professional ballplayer, thanks to Melissa Mayeux. The 16-year-old French shortstop joined MLB’s international registration list on Sunday, making her eligible to play professional baseball in the United States. As with every other prospect on that international registry, it’s a long shot that Mayeux will make the big leagues—and experts think it would be years before she is, if ever,…

In case it wasn’t clear before, former Duke star Jahlil Okafor has some massive hands. Okafor’s hands were a hot topic during the 2015 NCAA tournament when a picture of him palming a basketball with ease went viral. That picture has now been outdone. The photo above is of Okafor holding a baseball. In no way does that seem possible. His hands are so large that he makes a normal baseball…

Charlie Hustler has struck out for the last time. Pete Rose won’t be reinstated by Major League Baseball. Not now, not ever. He won’t be enshrined in Cooperstown, N.Y. Not now, not ever. New documents obtained by ESPN’s “Outside the Lines” indicate that Rose bet extensively on baseball, not just as a manger with the Cincinnati Reds, but as a player. He committed one of sports unpardonable sins. If you…

Pages from a long-hidden notebook published on Monday by ESPN’s Outside the Lines show Pete Rose bet on baseball as a player, contradicting his long-standing claim that he bet only as a manager. Rose, a 17-time All-Star for the Cincinnati Reds and later the team’s manager, admitted in 2004 that he had placed bets on baseball as a manager. That admission came after nearly 15 years of denials. As recently as…

And customarily, people are not placed on the list unless they are arguable signees of a certain baseball-paying quality. Against that backdrop,…
