You already know David Ortiz's favorite catchphrase: "Daaaa Yankees lose." But on Wednesday night, it was Big Papi doing some losing of his own. The Hall of Famer and Red Sox icon was revealed as a contestant on the premiere of a new season of "The Masked Singer" on FOX,

There's no better way for big league sluggers to show off their light-tower power than in a home run derby. Actually, there is one better way. Hand them an aluminum bat, then sit back and watch the baseballs fly. In a derby on Saturday night that helped raise funds for

It was a night for the MVPs. We mean, of course, the Most Valuable Pets. Newly minted four-time MVP Shohei Ohtani has not only set a precedent for baseball greatness, but he's also raised the bar for turning a pet into a global superstar. His pup Decoy, for the third

Freddie Freeman is living proof that one man really can have it all. He's a back-to-back World Series champ with three rings to his name. He's a former Fall Classic and regular-season MVP. He has hit two of the most iconic postseason walk-off home runs in Dodger history, if not

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is so completely locked in this postseason that multi-hit games are nothing new. But how about multi-hit hits? Sorry if that has your tongue tied, but the above image says it all. On his eighth-inning broken-bat bloop single in ALCS Game 6 on Sunday night, Guerrero Jr.

It took two to make a thing go right at Target Field on Monday night. A pair of fans behind home plate combined to make an improbable catch on a towering foul pop off the bat of Cody Bellinger. The first fan thought he had it lined up and held

Chandler Simpson has wheels, but he also has moves. The Rays rookie outfielder boasts 99th percentile sprint speed and is tied for second in the American League with 32 stolen bases, despite only playing 67 games. So it's no wonder that pitchers pay special attention to him anytime he reaches

The headline in the July 29 afternoon edition of The Kansas City Star was an ecstatic one: “It’s a homer, by George!” But this was not your grandfather’s home run, though your grandfather can probably retell the story well; it would take the work of league officials and state Supreme

Apparently re-writing the record books was not quite enough for Shohei Ohtani. Now he's writing his own book. The three-time MVP and two-way superstar will soon be able to add published author to his lengthy list of accomplishments. Ohtani announced in an Instagram post on Thursday that he had co-written

A large contingent of young fans in the Wrigley Field bleachers had something to get off their chests on Thursday night, and it was all about supporting Pete Crow-Armstrong. The newest PCA fanclub has at least 19 members, because that's the amount of letters (plus one space and one hyphen)

In the summer of 1991, a scuba diver named George Moon was combing the depths of Lake Pleasant in Erie County, Pa. When he broke the surface, he was carrying with him an almost three-foot long bone. Moon had no idea then that what he’d stumbled across was the shoulder

Who are the best players born on each day of the year? We have a list for every day on the calendar. Here’s a subjective ranking of the top five for June 24: 1) Doug Jones (1957) In an alternate universe, Jones might have followed in his father’s footsteps into

Had Royals outfielder Drew Waters pulled this off, it would have been one of the great plays at the plate in recent memory. With Kansas City and San Diego tied at two in the ninth on Sunday afternoon, Freddy Fermin knocked a base hit into the right-center-field gap, and Waters

There have been myriad memorable mustaches to grace the diamond, from Dick Allen to Rollie Fingers to Reggie Jackson, but perhaps none is as infamous as the extremely fake one Bobby Valentine slapped above his upper lip one warm June night in 1999. So maybe the disguise didn’t come together

Is there anything Juan Soto can't do? The superstar slugger's bat is starting to heat up for the Mets, but that is not the only supreme talent he was showing off on Wednesday night. With the Mets taking it to the Dodgers for most of the game thanks to a

There are very few members of the animal kingdom that can give a Tiger a fright. One of them, evidently, is a squirrel. A black squirrel was on the loose at Comerica Park on Tuesday, and as it scurried toward the Detroit bullpen, Tigers reliever Tyler Holton wanted to see

There are gap-to-gap hitters, and then there are pole-to-pole hitters. The Arizona Wildcats did something at Globe Life Field on Thursday that was just wacky enough that it isn't likely to be repeated. They hit back-to-back home runs, each of which caromed off opposite foul poles. Double doink indeed. The

In case you missed it, the cardinals (not the ones from St. Louis) made a big announcement on Thursday afternoon. White smoke emerged from the Sistine Chapel, signaling a new pope had been named – Robert Prevost (officially Pope Leo XIV), who was born in Chicago and is the first

The catch that Marlins center fielder Derek Hill made on Tuesday was billed as an early catch of the year candidate, and one that frankly would be hard to top. So is it possible that his own teammate -- and fellow center fielder -- one-upped him less than 24 hours

It has never been done in Major League Baseball. It may well never be done in Major League Baseball. But the Kansas Jayhawks pulled off an unprecedented feat on Wednesday afternoon, hitting five consecutive home runs in their game against Minnesota. When grad student Jackson Hauge came to the plate

Shohei Ohtani is an imposing presence on a baseball field. At 6-foot-4 and 210 pounds, there aren't many times he's made to look small, even if he's standing next to 6-foot-7 fellow MVP Aaron Judge. Enter 7-foot-6 Mamadou N'Diaye. The former college basketball standout at UC Irvine made a visit

Who are the best players born on each day of the year? We have a list for every day on the calendar. Here’s a subjective ranking of the top five for Feb. 9. 1) Vladimir Guerrero (1975) One of the great sluggers and most-fun-to-watch players of the early 2000s, Guerrero

Former president and Nobel Peace Prize winner Jimmy Carter -- a Plains, Ga., native and longtime fan of the Braves who was in attendance when Hank Aaron broke Babe Ruth's home run record -- passed away on Sunday at the age of 100. "The Atlanta Braves are deeply saddened by

Look out, Decoy ... there's a new Dodger pet in town, and this time his name is no secret. Freddie Freeman and his family kept the good times rolling by adopting a kitten three days after the Dodgers captured the 2024 World Series title. Fittingly, the feline is named Champ.

You might have thought Shohei Ohtani would be the star of the Dodgers championship parade on Friday afternoon, and for good reason. But at this point we should all know better. There is no bigger star in Los Angeles right now than his dog, Decoy. But please, no puparazzi!
