Baseball

Monday December 31st, 2012 was the anniversary of the death of (to me) the greatest baseball player that ever lived. I know everyone has their favorite and mine was and still is Roberto Clemente. He played right field for the Pittsburgh Pirates and batted over .290 for 14 straight seasons.

I've talked in past posts about my baseball vacations. I've been to Philadelphia and Baltimore to see the Red Sox on the road. However, the first trip was with my friend Jeremiah, a New York Yankees fan, to New York City to see them play the Twins.

This Saturday, November 3rd tickets for individual games go on sale for the Portland Sea Dogs 20th season. The box office at Hadlock Field will be open at 9am and tickets sold by phone and online will go on sale at noon.

In case you missed it—and judging by the ratings, you probably did—the San Francisco Giants finished their World Series sweep of the Detroit Tigers on Sunday night. This year continued a trend in which fewer and fewer people are watching the World Series, especially if it's a four-game sweep...

Marco Scutaro's line drive single scored Ryan Theriot with the go-ahead run in the top of the 10th inning, and the San Francisco Giants beat the Detroit Tigers, 4-3, on Sunday night in Detroit to complete a four-game sweep of the 2012 World Series.

It seems that investigative journalism is no longer the most dangerous form of newscasting. It's time we add sports journalism to the list, because covering baseball just got dangerous!

Pablo Sandoval joined an elite group of players on Wednesday night, when he became one of just four players to hit three home runs in a World Series game.

Two World Series games, college football and an NFC East showdown highlight this weekend's sports offerings. Here's what to watch:

After surviving their record sixth elimination game of the 2012 postseason on Monday night, the San Francisco Giants advanced to the 2012 World Series. There, they will face the Detroit Tigers starting Wednesday night at AT&T Park in San Fran. Here's a preview of the 2012 World Series:

Last night, the San Francisco Giants completed a spectacular NLCS comeback by beating the St. Louis Cardinals 9-0 and taking the series four games to three. The Giants had been facing a 3-1 series deficit just a few days ago, but they're now gearing up for their Fall Classic matchup with the American League-champion Detroit Tigers. So, who's gonna win?

I always take a vacation in the summer and for the most part, I would just hang around the house, BBQ, maybe a quick trip to Old Orchard Beach. However, about 7 or 8 years ago, I was determined to do something big on my summer vacation week. I investigated on what to do and found a great baseball trip. It was a trip offered by Alpine Adventure Tours of Auburn. A baseball trip to Philadelphia to se

John Farrell is expected to be named Monday or Tuesday as the next manager of the The Boston Red Sox. Farrell spent the last two seasons as the manager of the Toronto Blue Jays and was the Red Sox pitching coach from 2007-10.

The Detroit Tigers have made it to the World Series. The last time they were there, in 2006, things ended in disappointment. Will this time be different?

Jhonny Peralta homered twice, and the Detroit Tigers beat the New York Yankees, 8-1, at Comerica Park on Thursday to sweep the American League Championship Series and advance to the World Series for the first time since 2006.

It was a wet night in the central United States. Both games in the NLCS and ALCS saw rain spoil their games, but does that have a big effect on play?

As much as we would like to believe that the world revolves around sports, there are other issues at hand. The 2012 presidential election might even be bigger than the baseball playoffs. Might.
