Two weeks after that Fallon video made the rounds, ESPN released its “World Fame 100,” a ranking of the biggest names in sports. There were golfers, a table tennis player, and a whole lot of soccer players. Lin Dan, the Chinese badminton star and “bad-boy sex symbol” known as “Super Dan,” came in at 88. There were no baseball players. Among American sports fans, the results look only slightly better…

Last year, Michael Franchimone went to scout a Trinity Classical Academy baseball game as a Santa Clarita Christian assistant coach. “I actually sat in the stands at Trinity last year, scouting a game, and the families were talking to me and at that moment … they made me feel welcomed,” Franchimone said. “(I thought), is this something I could see myself doing in the future?”…

Even before the shooting at a baseball field in Northern Virginia last month, Congress was rattled by the increasingly hostile political environment that has produced combative town hall meetings and violent encounters among political activists. This year, the rate of threats against members of Congress has surpassed last year’s, and a growing number of rank-and-file lawmakers are traveling the halls of the Capitol — and the streets of their home…

On the first day of an indefinite number of days without Clayton Kershaw, the manager of the Dodgers volunteered the name of a pitcher the team might do well to acquire. Kershaw is expected to sit out four to six weeks because of what the team called a lower-back strain, according to a person familiar with the matter.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – As a kid baseball was one of the first sports I ever tried. I spent a ton of Saturday afternoons trying to become the next Ken Griffey junior or Barry Larkin. For one reason or another there aren’t nearly as many kids playing baseball these days. The Jumbo Shrimp are trying to change that.
