It's given, I presume, to the rookie-eligible player who had the most valuable season in each league. It has good historical pedigree, as Jackie Robinson won the inaugural award in 1947 (when there...

Even though he isn’t a trial lawyer anymore, Troy Ellerman had no trouble captivating a jury of sorts on Thursday. That’s according to Christine Pagano, a law professor at Golden Gate University, who invited Ellerman to speak to her students about his role in the BALCO saga. Ellerman went to prison for leaking the grand jury testimony of Barry Bonds, Jason Giambi, Gary Sheffield and others...
How weird can this Sammy Sosa get,?

Today is Veterans Day in the United States, a time to reflect, honor, and pay tribute to our nation's real heroes - those who have served in the military. While I appreciate all of the dedication and sacrifice those in the Marines, Army, Navy, and Coast Guard have shown, today we also remember Veterans Stadium. "The Vet" was home to the Phillies from 1971 to 2003. It hosted three World Series...
