Reggie Christiansen remembers well his first trip to Philadelphia. How could he forget it? It was the summer of 1998. He had just graduated from Menlo College in California. What better way to mark the occasion than by jumping in a Volkswagen bus with four buddies and making a tour of ballparks around the country? “We saw almost every minor-league and major-league park,” Christiansen said. “Fifty days. Five guys. Twenty-three…

DETROIT (AP) The record-setting Cleveland Indians have earned the admiration of an old rival – former Detroit manager Jim Leyland. ”Not at the Tigers’ expense, obviously, but I’m enjoying that Cleveland run,” Leyland said. ”I think it’s exciting. It’s great for the city of Cleveland. It’s great for baseball. I wish it was the Tigers and not the Indians, but hey, it’s great what’s going on.” Cleveland entered Friday night’s…

A little over a week ago, the Red Sox were caught stealing signs via instant replay monitoring equipment and the use of Apple watches. They were caught after the Yankees noticed the scheme and reported them to Major League Baseball. In turn, the Red Sox complained that the Yankees had used a YES Network camera to spy on the Red Sox dugout, likely to steal signs as well. Major League Baseball…

Along with his father’s baseball intelligence, Justin Jirschele has inherited the deep perfectionism that runs through his family. They are particular people. In his winters, Mike Jirschele, World Series champion, still works in the basement of the Clintonville furniture store where he has worked for more than three decades, repairing broken night stands and touching up nicks in bed frames with wax and paint. He has become expert at using…

7:19 AM ET Facebook Twitter Facebook Messenger Pinterest Email print comment Tim Tebow contributed to the greatest rise in minor league baseball attendance in 23 years. That number is quite appropriate because only one man, Michael Jordan, has done more for minor league baseball crowds than Tebow did this year. And Jordan had the benefit of playing Double-A with bigger ballparks to fill. Thanks to Jordan, the Birmingham Barons’ 1994…

But in 2014, his shoulder ached. His velocity fell sharply, and hitters hammered his mistakes. He was sent to the minors, traded to the Chicago Cubs, then dealt to Houston, where he barely pitched. With the blessing of the Astros – whose general manager, Jeff Luhnow, has toured Driveline and consulted with Boddy – Straily went to Driveline after the 2015 season to strengthen his shoulder. He knew that harder…

Masterpress/Getty Major League Baseball has been around for a long time, but it’s never seen a player quite like Shohei Otani. The Japanese phenom, currently playing for the Nippon Ham Fighters of Nippon Professional Baseball, is the definition of a two-way player.

BOX SCORE CLEVELAND — For more than 100 years, American League teams have gone on winning streaks of varying lengths – short ones, long ones, double-digit ones.
