Anybody who knows anything about baseball – or sports in general – know the baseball legends. They know Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Willie Mays, even Derek Jeter. But also, they know Ty Cobb. They know the tremendous player he was, but also – and perhaps unfortunately so – they know what kind of person he [...]

YES!!! THE YANKS ARE BACK AT THE TOP OF THE BASEBALL WORLD, WHERE THEY BELONG, WITH CHAMPIONSHIP #27! This season has been great to all of us, so many great moments, so many to remember, and its hard to narrow them down to 10, but I will do that, and I think the other guys on the blog will too. MY TOP 10 2009 MOMENTS: #10. You know what, I know that it'll sound stupid, but all of the walkoff wins this...

At Yankee Stadium last night, a young man born in Japan decades after atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki brought joy to, among others, a generation of Americans who fought his ancestors in World War II. As the Most Valuable Player in this year's World Series, Hideki Matsui joined the pantheon of Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and other hyphenated Americans of the last century in Yankee lore....

Yankee fan or not, I think we'd all like to pitch the first ball of the World Series, or get the double play at second base, or even be the bat boy for the big game. Part of the American consciousness centers around baseball and every fan, from the little league team players to the old timers who remember when the Dodgers played in Brooklyn, was tuned into the great spectacle that was the World Series....

Ryan Howard will enter tonight's NLCS Game Five with something more to play for than a shot at a second World Series. Howard has an opportunity to etch his names in the history books of Major League Baseball. Granted, Howard has already taken control of a number of individual records related to his speed to hitting milestone home runs and is well on pace to become one of the sport's premier run producers...

On Tuesday, Alex Rodriguez drove in an RBI for the eighth consecutive postseason game, tying a record that had been set by Lou Gehrig 77 years ago. However, you wouldn't know how rare a streak like this is since Ryan Howard tied it less than 24 hours earlier. The Phillies first baseman has produced a whopping 14 RBI in the first eight games of the postseason, while Rodriguez has driven in 10 runs since...

Come up with all of the adjectives you’d like for Game 4 of the NLCS, because they all fit here. Yesterday, yet another chapter was etched into the Phillies annals, this time by a scuffling star.

The Phillies find themselves one win away from a second straight trip to the World Series. Before they get a chance to defend their world champion title they must win one more game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Taking the mound tomorrow night will be last year's pitching sensation, Cole Hamels . Over the past two weeks we have witnessed many players up their game and come through in the clutch....

The Phillies' first baseman tied the Yankee Hall of Famer's record for knocking in runs in nine straight post-season games. Howard is inked through 2011. If he keeps hitting at this pace, there will be quite the bidding war for his services. Given their lack of a big-name hitter (which they'll need to rectify before 2011), you can imagine that the Red Sox will be among the bidders for what could be...

NEW YORK – Derek Jeter walked to his locker, nearly two hours before game time, in his usual pregame attire of shorts and a T-shirt with cutout sleeves. No longer the center of attention Saturday, he was back to business as usual, just the way he likes it. He didn't acknowledge the standing ovation when he came up to bat in the first inning or the second when he singled on the second pitch. "Derek's...
