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…

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…

Chelsey Brown lost her finger after her wedding ring got caught on the fence.

In Tuesday night’s American League Wild Card contest, the New York Yankees fell behind in a hurry. Luis Severino, the 23-year-old flamethrower, gave up two home runs to the first four Minnesota Twins he faced, and the manager Joe Girardi removed him just one out into the game—a decision he’d never have made in August. The Yankees pulled even with a homer of their own in the bottom of the…

Oct. 15, Los Angeles, N.L.C.S., Game 2 – The Dodgers’ Rich Hill loses a perfect game with two outs in the ninth inning when a two-strike curve grazes the unkempt beard of Nationals pinch-hitter Jayson Werth for a hit-by-pitch. Trea Turner promptly breaks up the no-hitter, and the Nationals go on to win and tie the series. Hill — who was pulled from a perfecto after seven innings in 2016…

Adam Glanzman/Getty Images Joba Chamberlain, after parts of 10 big-league seasons with four clubs, hasn’t pitched since July of 2016, and now says he’s done. “No, it’s time to be a dad,” the 32-year-old Chamberlain said. “Karter is in junior high and obviously this year I got to see him play a lot. It was fun to watch. We went to Cooperstown [for a tournament] and that was fun for the…

After a five-year absence, the Yankees are back in the Division Series following Tuesday’s thrilling come-from-behind 8-4 win over the Minnesota Twins. These Baby Bombers, led by Aaron Judge, Didi Gregorius and Gary Sanchez, played like seasoned vets as they fought out from under a first-inning three-run deficit in the one-and-done wild-card playoff. MVP candidate Judge contributed with a dinger — naturally enough, since he just set the MLB rookie…

CLEVELAND — A decade after midges attacked him on the mound at what was then Jacobs Field, Joba Chamberlain has deleted any attempt at trying to get back to the big leagues from his mind. In a conversation Wednesday with The Post about his midges memories, Chamberlain was asked if he had one more try to get back to the big leagues in him. “No, it’s time to be a…

The next one comes Wednesday night in Phoenix, with the Arizona Diamondbacks playing host to the Colorado Rockies. Maybe the starters, Arizona’s Zack Greinke and Colorado’s Jon Gray, can stick around longer than Severino and the Twins’ Ervin Santana, who made a dubious sort of history: Never before had the starters in a winner-take-all game both been gone by the third inning. That is knockout baseball, though, the kind of…
