The Minnesota Baseball Association’s state amateur baseball tournament has entered its second weekend at fields in Green Isle Hamburg and Norwood Young America. In Class C, 48 teams from around the state started the tournament and were being cut to 16 during the second weekend of play (August 26-27). The Minnetonka Millers have already been crowned Class A champion. The Class B and C tournaments will be decided on Labor…

Jose Mota collected eight hits in the major leagues, none of them for extra bases. Cooperstown called the other day. Not for one of his bats, to be sure. The Hall of Fame wanted the scorecard he used last weekend. He had just hit a grand slam, as a broadcaster. He had called the Angels game on radio, in English. That made him the first announcer in major league history…

Other than designated games like those on Mother’s Day (which has been awash in pink in recent years) or the Fourth of July (when a red-white-and-blue motif prevails), players have to follow a precise and lengthy uniform code. It mandates that 51 percent of cleats’ surface be in the team’s designated primary shoe color and compatible with the team’s design and color scheme and that bats have a natural finish…

Tremayne Cobb Jr. loses himself in baseball’s soundtrack, entranced by the game’s rhythms and rules. Three strikes and you’re out; three outs and the inning is over; smack a base hit into the outfield and, if you have enough time, take second base. Despite playing in a Maryland county hardly known for its baseball, Cobb Jr.’s speed on the basepaths and with the bat has college coaches salivating. But when…

7:30 AM ET Facebook Twitter Facebook Messenger Pinterest Email print comment It has been 3½ months since Adam Jones endured what he describes as “one of the worst nights” of his 12-year major league career. Now, with the Baltimore Orioles‘ center fielder returning to Boston for the first time since a racial incident that rocked baseball, it’s fair to ask: Has anything changed? MLB to implement rules for fan conduct…

Consider this great inane internet debate of years past: Which athletes are best equipped to win a Battle Royale if limited to their own sport’s equipment with no protective padding or helmets? Hockey players have skates and sticks. Baseball players have bats and balls. Football and basketball players have their athleticism, I guess. The possibilities are intriguing and gruesome. Javelin throwers could impale you from close range; archers can shoot…

Mr. Ramirez lasted longer than Vin Scully, who retired last year after 67 seasons with the Brooklyn and Los Angeles Dodgers. Mr. Ramirez called winter league games in Cuba, before and after Fidel Castro’s takeover, as well as in Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Mexico and the Dominican Republic. He also called many Caribbean Series, the postseason tournament of the winter leagues. But his influence broadened during his 30 years as a…

What a perfectly imperfect game. I didn’t quite know what to do with myself rooting for Trevor Williams as he soldiered through the eighth inning, knowing that would hurt the chances of a perfect game or no-hitter by Rich Hill, also knowing that would mean an embarrassing (at least temporarily) Pirates loss. So I just cheered. For baseball. I’m a Pirates fan because I’m a baseball fan in general. I…

When Adam Dunn came to the plate, he would pretty much always do one of three things: He would strike out; he would walk; or he would hit a baseball some 400-odd feet. With his propensity to produce these so-called “three true outcomes” — the three types of plays in which fielders play no role — the former Cincinnati Reds outfielder known as “Big Donkey” was the poster boy for…

I was never the smartest, stats-iest guy in the baseball room. On the best of days, I used to get by with a superficial, rudimentary understanding of metrics that are now passe. Leavened with an occasionally well-crafted piece or a few dick jokes, I’ve managed to carve out a sleazy niche of sorts around here, though it’s been pretty limited over the last few very frustrating seasons. The Phillies are…

The Miami Marlins announced his death. in a statement on Tuesday morning. The organization says he died Monday night.
