Mark Teixeira set a big league record Tuesday evening when he went yard from both sides of the plate in his team’s rainy 6-0 win over the Chicago White Sox.

The All-Star first baseman hit a two-run shot batting right-handed off John Danks in the third inning before adding his second longball of the night batting left-handed against Jason [...]

Canada’s first love affair with a MLB baseball franchise took place long before the Toronto Blue Jays were born and won two World Series. Back in 1969 the Montreal Expos were the pride and joy of the nation and for many, they remained Canada’s team until packing up and heading down to Washington DC in 2004 where they were renamed the Nationals.
There’s been some talk [...]

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.

I like baseball — I don’t love it. I never had the emotional/sentimental connection most kids experience when they are young and they play catch with their fathers. I passed a football with my dad. I shot hoops in the driveway with my dad. As for baseball, I always liked it, but I never felt a rapport with the sport itself.

I enjoyed the steroid era. I enjoyed watching all the home runs and admiring…

Rafael Soriano got some not-so-great news Wednesday: he won’t be pitching again until likely after the All-Star Break.

The New York Yankees’ $35 million setup man, who cozied up to the disabled list on May 17, was diagnosed with an inflamed ligament in his right elbow… the same ligament which was repaired with Tommy John surgery back in 2004. Not good. Rafael Soriano got some not-so-great news…
