Fans of the ValleyCats and Red Sox have known that Kike Hernandez was a good baseball player. What we didn't realize, was that he was about to make history.

It's blanket statement time: the 2021 ALCS, about to be played between the Boston Red Sox and Houston Astros, would not be happening without the Capital Region.

A straight steal of home plate in the Major League Baseball playoffs or World Series is something you see Jackie Robinson do in a Ken Burns documentary or you may have seen Javier Baez do it a five years ago when he was with the Chicago Cubs against the San Francisco Giants. Nonetheless, it's r…

The Wild Card game wasn't exactly the goal that Hal Steinbrenner had for his franchise this year. But baseball can be a cruel game. If Giancarlo Stanton hits that baseball a fraction of a millimeter differently in the 6th inning on Tuesday, that game is tied and there may have been a different …

There are a "lotto" reasons to like the Yankees in tonight's AL Wild Card Game. The number pulled in the MA State Lottery last night is by far the most bizarre.

The New York Yankees had been struggling to find that identity that carried them through a blistering late August, 13 game winning streak. The Bombers were coming off of a disappointing weekend last week after Cleveland pasted them twice. Three wins against the Texas Rangers prior to heading into Bo…

This was all in an effort to keep up with the American League Wild Card race and keep a scan…

Tuesday and Wednesday, those old "Jeter" jerseys, along with the new "Judge" pinstripes will turn "blue and orange" as the Mets head to Fenway Park in Boston to take on the Red Sox. This is an important week for the Bombers as they try to gain ground on the Sox and the …

In what could've been a boilerplate answer, Red Sox outfielder Hunter Renfroe dropped a bombshell about the team, and MLB's handling of their COVID-19 outbreak.

The big question now facing both teams, is will they get there? Red Sox are 24-25 since the All Star break. Conversely, the Yankees are 32-16. Both teams are being chased by Seattle, Oakland and the an old division friend stacked with talented youth, the Blue Jays. The Mariners and Toronto are pl…

When New York Yankees General Manger Brian Cashman traded for Anthony Rizzo, he knew exactly what he was getting. Cashman had signed a large framed, slick fielding first baseman name Mark Teixeira back in 2009. That worked out pretty well for the Bronx Bombers. Don't be surprised if Mr. Rizzo…
