While Buster Posey's career with the Giants ended sooner than expected, the memories he created with San Francisco will stand the test of time. The seven-time All-Star catcher, who announced his retirement following the 2021 season, quickly became a beloved player by the Bay. That’s what happens when you win

Elly De La Cruz is one of the brightest young stars in baseball, and at just 24 years old, he’s already made quite a name for himself. So it’s no surprise that the Reds would want to sign him to a long-term extension. Last spring, Cincinnati offered the five-tool phenom

When Bill Mazeroski launched a walk-off home run to win the 1960 World Series at Forbes Field in Pittsburgh, an iconic moment was born: The baseball sailing over the ivy-covered wall as Yogi Berra’s chase morphed into a dejected jog back to the visitors’ dugout is an image embedded in

It’s only fitting that more history of the four-homer variety would be made soon after the completion of an MLB season in which a record three players hit four home runs in a game. This time, though, the four-homer history was made in the Venezuelan Winter League.

The Mets’ offseason so far has been overshadowed by the departure of several fan favorites, either via free agency or trade. The club dealt outfielder Brandon Nimmo and infielder/outfielder Jeff McNeil, but the biggest subtractions have been those of slugging first baseman Pete Alonso and elite closer Edwin Díaz, each

When the Red Sox struck a deal with the Cardinals to acquire first baseman/designated hitter Willson Contreras last Monday, they parted ways with a package of young pitching in the hopes that Contreras will be the answer at a position that has presented mostly question marks over the past several

There are many incredible stories out there about Rickey Henderson. And we mean literally incredible -- as in, hard to believe. Some are true, some are apocryphal. But the one Will Clark tells is definitely true. A former All-Star first baseman for the Giants, “Will the Thrill” played against Henderson

Nobody has stolen more bases. Nobody has scored more runs. Nobody has hit more leadoff homers -- or celebrated them as magnificently. He’s the greatest leadoff man in MLB history. And the ultimate Christmas present to the baseball fan. Rickey Henderson was born in Chicago on Christmas Day in 1958,

LOS ANGELES -- Baseball can be funny as well as fun, and over the years the Dodgers have enjoyed their share of comical moments. We only wish we had video of the Daffy Dodgers and the time they had three runners arrive together at third base. That said, we do
