The Boston Red Sox and St. Louis Cardinals will face off in the 2013 World Series beginning Wednesday night at Fenway Park. Here's a preview of the Fall Classic:
Baseball's most storied rivalry was put on hold for a moment on Tuesday. In a show of class and support, the New York Yankees joined other big league teams in playing Neil Diamond's 'Sweet Caroline' after the third inning of their game against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday night...
Two of baseball’s most well-known franchises have been giants in the league for a long time, but recently it seems they are both struggling.
Few stadiums or ballparks are treated with as much reverence and respect as the Boston Red Sox’s Fenway Park. It’s more than just because it’s the oldest park in Major League Baseball’s storied history.
Bobby Valentine will be the new Boston Red Sox manager, as soon as the two sides get the contract worked out. The 61-year-old former Rangers and Mets skippper has a career record of 1,117–1,072 as a manager, but he hasn’t managed in the US since 2002.
Valentine found success in Japan where in 2005 he guided the Chiba Lotte Marines to their first Japan Series title in 31 years.
After a mediocre year with the Red Sox, John Lackey will undergo Tommy John surgery to repair his elbow that will sideline him for all of the 2012 season.
Lackey disappointed Sox fans in his second year with the team posting a 12-12 record with a 6.41 ERA.
