PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) Sailors and soldiers will don flannel uniforms and play baseball by century-old rules to recreate the U.S. Army versus Navy games from World War I. The U.S. Naval War College will recognize the centennial of America’s involvement in the war by planning Friday’s game in Newport, Rhode Island. Organizers say it’s a way to teach people more about the war, mark the anniversary and have a little…

The Iowa baseball team got a chance to show its stuff over the weekend, winning its scrimmage on Saturday 17-2 against the Toronto Blue Jays, a U-18 travel team. It was also a chance for the 2017 squad to get its Big Ten Tournament Championship rings. This was Iowa’s first-ever win in the tournament and it’s cool the team got a chance to be celebrated in a ceremony it more…

During his tenure as Tigers general manager, Al Avila has called many players to tell them that they had been traded. For one of them, he had a special message. “At the end of the call he was the one guy where I said, “I love you,’” Avila said with a hearty laugh. That’s because the player he had reached on the phone soon after the Tigers had landed in…

For millions of years, dinosaurs ruled the earth, striding the planet like the colossi they were. But sadly for them, they were all wiped out 65 million years ago, or roughly 65 million years before baseball was invented. As such, we’ve never been able to answer a pressing age-old question: Which dinosaurs would be best at the sport? Well, that’s what I’m here for. Presented below is an extremely scientific…

Earlier this month, word got out Japanese sensation Shohei Otani will indeed make the jump from Nippon Pro Baseball in Japan over to Major League Baseball this offseason. Nothing has been made official yet — Otani’s team, the Nippon Ham Fighters, has to agree to post him for MLB teams — but Otani has made it no secret he wants to join the big leagues and soon. There is now…

White Sox 4, Angels 2 Somewhere in the back of your mind exists the definition of a perfect baseball player. If it’s a pitcher, maybe he has some combination of good velocity, command, stuff, and poise. If it’s a pitcher, there’s hitting for contact, hitting for power, solid fundamentals, range, arm… You missed something. Effort. Or extended from that, the brainpower that controls your every action, and through that, your…

Creative Artist Agency’s legacy dates back to 1975 when a handful of William Morris agents, including Michael Ovitz and Ron Meyer, broke out on their own. A-list clients from Hollywood and the music world signed on to the burgeoning agency. Yet, it took three decades before CAA took the plunge into sports. CAA has built a massive sports business practice over the past decade with $8.5 billion in contracts under…

Starting next year, it may not just be peanuts and Cracker Jacks that go with America’s national pastime. It may also be augmented reality. In an attempt to woo new and younger viewers, Major League Baseball is building augmented reality into its live statistics application, which will overlay three-dimensional graphics on top of real-life views. Major League Baseball demonstrated its prototype at a San Francisco Giants game last week in front…

In the wake of President Trump’s recent criticism of the NFL and its players kneeling for the national anthem, Oakland A’s catcher Bruce Maxwell made waves by becoming the first baseball player to join in the national protest designed to bring awareness to police violence against people of color in America. Rays ace Chris Archer — another prominent black player in the game who is known for his thoughtfulness —…

Last week, I slipped away from Disrupt for a couple of hours to watch a Giants game at nearby AT&T park — or, more precisely, watch a Giants game through an iPad. It was a small gathering hosted by Major League Baseball that points toward a possible future for fandom that’s exciting and fascinating, all while bringing out the crotchety old tech journalist in me that’s hidden not too far…

Maybe you scored a seat right behind the backstop, hoping for nothing more than a pleasant evening at the ballpark. And maybe that outing with friends is interrupted by a foul ball hurtling your direction at 105 mph. Maybe the ball strikes a young girl who has to be taken to the hospital, while the batter — the New York Yankees’ prized rookie, Clint Frazier — watches in horror, thinking…

The pitcher comes set. Enacts his delivery. His offering sails wide of the plate. Just like the last one, he thinks. He checks over his shoulder, glancing at the scoreboard that displays the strike zone, the pitch speed, and the exit velocity of batted balls. Yup. Instant feedback and validation, right there, right as soon as the ball leaves his hand. To think, this is only practice — yet all…

CINCINNATI — Nobody on the Red Sox kneeled or sat during the national anthem yesterday. Nobody locked arms, either. If this news surprises or disappoints you, consider baseball players usually trail the pro sports pack when it comes to being outwardly vocal on divisive social issues. It’s as if Jackie Robinson in the ’40s and Curt Flood in the ’70s was enough outside of maintaining their formidable players’ union. For…
