He is baseball's newest phenom in terms of position players.  He may have saved Don Mattingly's job in Los Angeles.  He went on camera and said he was the best Dodger player.  He went on camera and said he was the best-looking Dodger.  Everything was perfect for Yasiel Puig until July 12.

Yasiel Puig has taken baseball by storm and changed the attitude on an underachieving Dodgers team.  Some feel the Cuban defector actually saved Don Mattingly's job by himself.  Should Puig be on the National League All-Star roster in the upcoming All-Star Game...

The Yankees and Rays meet for four games in the Bronx Thursday-Sunday highlighted by Old Timers Day in Game 4.  Tampa Bay comes off losing three of four to Boston.  New York comes off a series split with the Dodgers.  Here is a Rays-Yanks series preview.

Los Angeles Dodgers center fielder Matt Kemp stops by Sesame Street to hang out with Abby.  You’ll never think of the word “attach” the same way.

Derek Jeter and New York. Drew Brees and New Orleans. LeBron James and any warm weather town already home to another superstar that will pay him through the sun-scorched nose. Some cities and superstars are just made for each other.
