The New York Yankees boast one of baseball’s best records, and of course, the insane duo of Aaron Judge and Juan Soto have played a large role. But no one could have predicted what was coming out of their rotation, and that’s without reigning Cy Young Award winner Gerrit Cole. Yankees starters own the second-lowest ERA in all of baseball …

One of the more polarizing figures in major league baseball over the past three decades, Angel Hernandez, recently revealed his decision to retire. Hernandez spent the past three decades as an MLB umpire, stirring up some consternation with players along the way. Fans have also taken aim at Hernandez over the years, and the news of his sudden retirement sparked …

Alex Rodriguez could probably have any job he wants in baseball, but he’s OK without one. His knowledge of the game is unmatched, and that’s been the case since he was the first overall pick in 1993. Had he not taken performance-enhancing drugs, he’d be a first-ballot Hall of Famer. Rodriguez has said he doesn’t want to manage, which is …

Alex Rodriguez has maybe the most complicated legacy in not just New York Yankees history, but maybe throughout the entirety of Major League Baseball. The No. 1 overall pick in 1993 heard the loudest of both cheers and boos during his 22-year career, when he hit 696 home runs, won three MVPs, a World Series and 10 Silver Sluggers. In …

In case you didn’t realize, it is not hyperbole when people call Juan Soto a “generational talent.” He’s one of just six players ever to have an on-base percentage of .400 and a slugging percentage of .500, and to have hit 150 home runs through the age of 24. The others are Mel Ott, Jimmie Foxx, Mickey Mantle, Mike Trout, …

Paul O’Neill’s brief “Seinfeld” cameo is still paying off — literally. The former New York Yankees star appeared in the episode “The Wink” in season 7 as just one of several Yankees to be on the hit series throughout its dominance in the 1990s. In case you’re unfamiliar, O’Neill’s episode is the one where Kramer (played by Michael Richards) promises …

New York Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stantonis back pummeling baseballs, and this time against the Houston Astros, he hit the hardest ball in the 2024 MLB season. It was the third inning when Stanton caught every single stitch of a 1-2 curveball from Astros rookie starter Spencer Arrighetti, and it sped like a rocket off his bat toward left field. It …

NEW YORK – MLB umpiring has been a controversial topic in recent seasons, and calls that have been made already in 2024 have only added fuel to that fire. Additionally, as technological advances continue to be tested in the minor leagues, the conversation about umpires potentially becoming obsolete remains a real possibility. Many have shared their opinions on how games …

For the first time in a generation, a captain of the New York Yankees was ejected from a game. Aaron Judge got the boot in the bottom of the seventh inning of Saturday’s Yankees-Tigers game after arguing a called strike three. It is rather impressive that that was Judge’s first ejection since joining the big leagues since 2016, considering that …

Art Schallock, the oldest living former MLB player, celebrated his 100th birthday on April 25, 2024. Schallock, a left-handed player, pitched 58 games with the New York Yankees and Baltimore Orioles over his MLB career back in the 1950s, according to MLB.com. He spent five years with the league. “Those were some great times,” Schallock said of his years with …
