Salina, I’m as nowhere as I can beCould you add some somewhere to me?  — “Salina,” The Avett Brothers “You’ve come to the worst series,” says JD Droddy, the 73-year-old manager of the independent league Salina Stockade, when I meet him in the last week of July at his team’s ostensible base of Salina, Kansas. From a spectator’s perspective, he’s probably right. In returning to its nominal home, his team has…

It can change so quickly at relief pitcher. One day you’re comfortable, wondering why anyone would ever stress about saves. The next day you’re poring over box scores, hoping to identify some newcomer to the role. Even Aroldis Chapman , long considered the gold standard at closer with untouchable stuff and unbreakable job security, isn’t immune. Two weeks of failure, and the New York Yankees are pulling the plug. Why?…

Following the Nazi demonstration in Charlottesville, Virginia, Washington Nationals pitcher Sean Doolittle both spoke and tweeted about the atrocities, calling it “white fear. It’s the worst kind of hatred. It’s disgusting” and stating “there is only one side,” in reference to the Trump administration’s reference to violence “on many sides” of the demonstration. Of those members of major league baseball asked about the events, Doolittle gave by far the most…

1:41 PM ET Facebook Twitter Facebook Messenger Pinterest Email print comment September is right around the corner, and while most of the fantasy sports world will indeed hang up its baseball cleats in order to strap on football helmets, there are nevertheless going to be at least a few owners who will still have some important baseball left to be played before they can claim their 2017 championships. More people…

Today, the entire continental United States will witness its first total solar eclipse since 1918. Pretty cool, right? But we know what you’re thinking — how can I watch the eclipse and watch some baseball? Luckily for you, we’re here to help. If you happen to be in the path of totality, that means you’ll see the moon totally cover the sun (get it?). But don’t worry if you’re not…

ELLSWORTH, Maine — It may not rival this weekend’s Red Sox-Yankees series at Fenway Park or the continuing playdown to a new Little League world champion in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania. But for four baseball teams from Ellsworth, Lincoln County, the Medomak Valley region and South Portland-Biddeford, those more historic locales had nothing on Demeyer Field, which was home Saturday and Sunday to the inaugural Maine State Little League Challenger Jamboree….

Major League Baseball is taking a more active role in this year’s Little League World Series. Hence the St. Louis Cardinals and Pittsburgh Pirates spending Sunday at the tournament before playing their own game in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Consider it fitting, then, that the catch of the day was turned in by a youngster. Jack Regenye, playing center field for Kennett Square against Chinese Taipei in the Junior League Baseball World…

When Marjorie Adams came to Mont Vernon from Connecticut recently to give a talk in the town where her great-grandfather was born, she had a confession to make. There was a time, she admitted, “when even I thought that Abner Doubleday invented baseball.” She doesn’t make that mistake any more. For several years, Adams has been one of the leaders in the push to have Daniel “Doc” Adams –…

By 1959, even the local N.H.L. team, the Bruins, had employed a black player, Willie O’Ree. But not the Red Sox. As Robinson, Willie Mays, Hank Aaron and Elston Howard helped their teams win championships in the 1950s, the Red Sox — with Ted Williams in his later prime — never finished first during that decade. The Red Sox tried out Robinson at Fenway Park in 1945 and rejected him….

Harvey Kuenn played baseball for the Wisconsin Badgers.(Photo: Journal Sentinel files) When the University of Wisconsin dropped varsity baseball in 1991, there were valid reasons. The athletic department faced a $2.1 million budget shortfall, spending was outpacing revenue and the financial outlook was bleak. Surely, it pained then-athletic director Pat Richter, an all-Big Ten, power-hitting first baseman for the Badgers in the early 1960s, to lop baseball (along with men’s…

Now, Kansas City’s Mike Moustakas is poised to join Stanton in setting the new mark for…

It was a rough season. Salina, a so-called travel team, plays only a handful of home games. Undermanned and underfinanced, the Stockade were 10-58 when Droddy stepped down as planned. In the visiting manager’s office at CHS Field before a recent game with the Saints, Droddy remained upbeat. “Some people show their grandchildren; I’ve got to show you Milly,” said Droddy, pulling out his smartphone to flip through photos of…
