My most favorite player would have to be Aroldis Chapman he is a pitcher for the New York Yankees and he is my favorite player because he had been the most successful with his position in the season so far.

    Well, Dodger fans, over a week ago we received the worst possible news in the history of all horrible news. Ok, maybe that’s a bit of hyperbole, but it sure feels legit. Clayton Kershaw heading to the 15-Day DL for a mildly herniated disc in his lower back. I know, I know… group hug. He was joined a day or so later by Joc Pederson, who made a spectacular, albeit shoulder crushing catch into the wall, which in turn sent him to the 15-Day DL with a sprained right AC joint.…

The Chicago White Sox ended up winning the World Series that year, but the Cubs had shown they were a capable team and retaliated in 1907 by winning the World Series.

I was born into a San Diego Padres family; then married into a San Francisco Giants family. Baseball is a staple of our childhood; getting together with our friends and playing on our makeshift baseball diamond; throwing pop-ups and trying to hit grand slams. Not to mention it’s an affordable sport to attend, unlike the NFL or NBA; a whole family can go to a ballpark and not “break the bank” in doing…

However, I do not intend to introduce the story of the heroes like them this time because, needless to say over again, their biography have been already well known for many people and I would like for you to re-acknowledge how the Yankees is a special entity rather than other teams not only in the United States but also in the world, so I will introduce stories of two Japanese baseball players; Ichiro and Hideki “Godzilla”…
