Saturday afternoon at Yankee Stadium, Derek Jeter became the 28th member of the 3,000-Hit Club with a home run to left field off the Rays’ David Price.

The home run tied the game 1-1, and in addition, Jeter became only the second player of the previous 28 to hit a home run for his landmark hit — Wade [...]

Hello everyone and welcome to today’s “The Stack” with me, Nathan Stacken. What a hockey game last night. We’ll have plenty on that and more so let’s get right to “The Stack”:

It’s possible that if you’re male sports fan you may be faced with the same problem that I’ve been dealing with lately. Explaining to your wife/girl-friend/significant other how it is possible that male athletes seem incapable of keeping their focus when it comes to committed relationships?
I’m not sure how I became the spokesperson for [...]

New York will play with a target on their back for the whole season as they go for their next championship. With the additions of outfielder Curtis Granderson, [...]

Just some more shiny things for his trophy case would be great. If we could go ahead and embed some diamonds in there, too. Maybe some engraving would be nice, as well.
The New York Yankees shortstop, who is not even the best shortstop on his team, let alone the American League, received a Gold Glove [...]

Working on three days rest, CC Sabathia munched his way through the Los Angeles Angels lineup for eight innings, allowing just one run on five hits, and striking out five after 101 pitches to aid his New York Yankees in their 10-1 victory.
