Yasiel Puig wags (Sean M. Haffey/Getty Images) LOS ANGELES — Yasiel Puig came barreling, headlong and tongue-first, into third base late Friday night, and it was there, in a cloud of dust maybe 40 feet from the Los Angeles Dodgers’ dugout, that a normal human — which is to say, one who did not wish for the fleshy, muscular organ in his mouth to become its own story on the…

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….

Bryce Harper gets hurt, Mike Trout’s team misses the playoffs & now Aaron Judge is the face of baseball? Absolutely refuse to buy that. — Bradley Shatraw (@shatty_14) October 4, 2017 But Trout plays on the LA Angels, which hasn’t made it to the World Series since 2002, never in Trout’s time. The face of baseball needs to be known to casual fans, and needs to be seen in the…

WASHINGTON — Alexandria’s top prosecutor says police were legally justified in using deadly force against the man who shot House Majority Whip Steve Scalise and four others during a congressional baseball practice in June — an attack the prosecutor called an act of terrorism. In a 41-page report released Friday, the commonwealth’s attorney for Alexandria, Bryan Porter, said two U.S. Capitol Police officers and members of the Alexandria Police Department…

If Altuve does win AL MVP next month, he will be one of the least likely honorees in recent history. As unpredictable as baseball-player development can be, most of the best athletes were still either top draft picks or big-money international signees. Take the last eight AL MVPs, for example: 2016: Mike Trout—former first-round pick 2015: Josh Donaldson—former first-round pick 2014: Trout 2013: Miguel Cabrera—$1.9 million signing bonus out of…

It’s September 8, 2017, at 7:10 p.m., and the Boston Red Sox are taking the field against the Tampa Bay Rays. The atmosphere is relaxed. It’s a home game, and the Sox are leading the American League East, coming into this series off a two-game win streak. But nothing is over until it’s over, and it’s only the top of the first. Four levels above the on-field action, Josh Kantor,…

Ahab had his whale in “Moby Dick.” The newsreel reporter in “Citizen Kane” had Rosebud. For Wile E. Coyote, there always will be the Road Runner. And, going into the playoffs last year, there was the Cubs’ century-plus quest for a World Series title. Some chases are so enduring and epic that their stories eclipse everything else around them. So it was with the Cubs, who at last in November…

A-Rod: ‘The Cleveland Indians are the class of baseball’ 6 hours ago

The baseball soared into the early-morning blackness, heading toward the left-field foul pole. Tracking the flight of the ball he’d just hit, Carlton Fisk began to frantically flap his arms in an effort to will it fair. Time seemed to stop as 35,205 fans in Fenway Park, along with 76 million TV viewers, watched the Red Sox catcher watch the ball in the bottom of the 12th inning of Game…

Major League Baseball’s postseason is here, and everyone’s fired up: the hard-core baseball nuts, the October bandwagoners, those greedy Cubs fans who now want two World Series titles in 109 years, and, of course, the Journal’s superb baseball writer, Jared Diamond, who still sleeps in his Bernie Williams pajamas, and sobs tears of joy when a meaningless mid-August game rolls into extra innings. I do not want to rain on…
