One of his boyhood passions was A.P.B.A. baseball, a dice game in which the actual performances of major leaguers are translated into cards representing each player; Stan Musial was as likely to hit a triple on Henry's bedroom floor as he was for the St. Louis Cardinals in Sportsman's Park.
Her policy team's reliance on Ivy Leaguers, along with the Harvard Law School alumni she regularly consults, reflect the duality in her campaign — the fact that Warren is both an up-by-the-bootstraps success story and a privileged Ivy League professor — that opponents are starting to notice and exploit.
Cuba won only one of the three Olympic tournaments held after 1996, before baseball was discontinued for the 2012 London Games (it will return at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.) And Cuba has yet to win the World Baseball Classic, a quadrennial tournament that began in 2006 and features major leaguers.

It took off, and it became a nice business — if you'd jumped aboard early, you rocketed to the forefront of conservative politics, bypassing the careerists and operatives who got the blue-chip political jobs you couldn't, the bootlickers and Ivy Leaguers who had looked down on you for so long.
Even major leaguers like myself who are lamented for our relative mediocrity or shittiness, who are only picked in fantasy as a show of loyalty by their friends who are not so serious about fantasy baseball, were extraordinarily compelling in the minor leagues—it is somewhat of a prerequisite for making it.

The White Sox firmly established themselves as a seller as the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline approaches following Tuesday's defeat, sending third baseman Todd Frazier as well as relievers David Robertson and Tommy Kahnle to the New York Yankees for reliever Tyler Clippard and three minor-leaguers, including consensus top-50 prospect Blake Rutherford.
He was pitching lights-out for the Padres, but the real reason the Fish traded for Rodney might have been his dance moves: Usually, major leaguers are applauded for tuning out the environment — crowd noise, etc — but here's a pitcher embracing the silly stuff going on around him and responding with a fancy jig.
" Manfred is visiting Japan for the start of first-round the World Baseball Classic in Tokyo, where the hosts, Cuba, Australia and China will meet in Pool B.

When a delegation of major leaguers made a goodwill visit to Cuba in December, they were welcomed by a 2245-year-old budding star of the island's domestic league, Lourdes Gourriel Jr. Dressed in aviator sunglasses and white high-tops, he looked the part of a big leaguer but was awestruck by introductions to Clayton Kershaw and Miguel Cabrera.
During my last year of playing, a few of us talked about the idea of unionizing and I even reached out to an older labor lawyer that had experience in baseball, a guy named Don Wollett, who's since passed away—a wonderful, wonderful man who had written a book on the possibility of unionizing minor leaguers.
Eight teams began Tuesday at least 10 games out of first place in their division in the A.L.

The results of his work are found in two primary places: in "SABR Presents the Home Run Encyclopedia" (1996), a 93,310-page compendium of all major leaguers' dingers through 1995 (it was edited by Mr. Vincent and Bob McConnell, who had previously overseen the log), and on the Baseball-Reference website, where every home run whacked (and surrendered) is meticulously detailed.
Based on a recent estimate of the market value of top minor-leaguers—whom MLB teams get to under-pay for up to seven seasons before they become free agents—$130m is roughly equal to the profits a team could expect to extract either from two top-ten, MLB-ready youngsters, or one budding superstar with five or six years of team control remaining.
Headed in the opposite direction are the White Sox, who—after years of vacillation between GOOD GOD, WE MUST WIN NOW and "Well, this probably ain't our year"—have finally committed to building up their farm system in a meaningful way, trading Adam Eaton, Chris Sale, and (eventually) José Quintana for a stellar collection of prospects and young big-leaguers that will serve them well both in 2017 and beyond.
Hope ex-MLB pitcher Tim Hudson doesn't have dreams of watching his son strike out major leaguers like he used to, cause his wife made it clear to TMZ Sports, SHE AIN'T HAVING IT.
