facebook Share twitter Share In the nine years since baseball’s last appearance at the Olympic Games, it became clear that illustrating the sport’s global appeal was necessary for it to make a dramatic return to the roster on the biggest stage. World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) President Riccardo Fraccari explains how they did it – and looks forward to…

In any case, Strasburg, who has always relied on a strict routine and was shut down before the 2012 playoffs because of a predetermined innings limit after he underwent Tommy John surgery, will not be available for Game 4. “It’s fine,” Baker said. “We have full confidence in Tanner.” And the Cubs have reason to believe in their starter: Jake Arrieta, a former Cy Young Award winner who skipped his…

by Adam Buckman , Featured Columnist, 3 hours ago The extreme length of playoff baseball games is often a subject of complaint at this time of year, but there is a benefit too. After watching the first four games of the Yankees-Indians series on Fox Sports 1 over the last few days (Game 4 photo above), it occurred to me that a long baseball game is not only entertaining for…

When the Yankees postseason run comes to an end, big decisions must be made on key pieces to the franchise’s puzzle. From a potential opt-out with righty Masahiro Tanaka to Joe Girardi’s managerial future, there’s no shortage of decisions for the front office and ownership to make in the next few months. Of course, that’s assuming the general manager of the team will be the one to make those decisions. Brian Cashman,…

There’s just one superlative this week. It is “Worst Baseball Fan,” and it is me. In 2009, living in Brooklyn, I attended roughly 15 Yankee games, including one in the divisional series (THIS ONE!!) and one in the ALCS. My tactic was to take the 4-train north from my office in midtown, stand on the subway platform at 161st st. in the Bronx, wait for a new train and all…

The Kentucky baseball team will square off twice next season against in-state rival Louisville, the team that knocked it out of last season’s NCAA super regional, as part of a 2018 schedule that includes 11 opponents who made the 2017 NCAA Tournament field. Two of the Wildcats’ 2018 opponents made the College World Series, three others advanced to the super regionals and five hosted a regional, again setting up what…

Famous South Jersey native and baseball player Mike Trout is at the Eagles game today, so the team’s offense performed an impressively elaborate baseball celebration to honor him (and possibly recruit him for the Phillies, who knows). The Eagles are rolling today: Carson Wentz threw for 121 yards and three touchdowns in the first quarter as the Eagles built a 21-0 lead against the Cardinals. Wentz should be docked points…

Given a night of restless sleep — and after perhaps letting an excoriation from the news media (including from commentators on the YES Network, which is partly owned by the Yankees) sink in — Girardi ventured to the Bronx on Saturday, disassembled his standard defensive armor and offered up something unusual: a mea culpa. “I screwed up,” he said. “In hindsight, yeah,” he added. “I wish I would have challenged…

The Raiders are still more than two years away from moving into a shiny new stadium when they relocate to Las Vegas, but until then they will continue to play at the Oakland Coliseum, a venue they share with Major League Baseball’s Oakland A’s. This means that for the month or so the two seasons overlap, the Raiders play their home games on a field that includes a baseball diamond….

Image credit: Pexels I didn’t need a survey to tell me that AT&T Park in San Francisco has the best hot dogs in Major League Baseball. I would have likely made that declaration while sitting in some less-superior stadium eating a sub-par dog, but I wouldn’t have had facts (other than my own detailed personal research) to back up that claim. Except now I do. ReviewTrackers recently analyzed 130,000 reviews…
