The 8th annual East Valley (Yakima) Baseball crab feed and silent auction is coming up Saturday, June 16th

Times are tough.  The economy sucks.  Unemployment is, like..  Eleventy brazillion percent. If you are looking for an extra source of income, are unemployed or underemployed, or maybe a student returning to Yakima for the Summer, the Yakima Bears Baseball Club may have the opportunity you are looking for!

I love a good "sports cry." It's probably why I'm a sucker for movies that depict moments that real-life athletes might have gone through. Which is why I'm sharing the events that unfolded at Wrigley Field a couple of days ago with you.

Little leaguers in Redlands, California have gone almost all season without uniforms, a snack bar, or even a bathroom. We may now know why.

My seven-year-old son Drew and I share father/son time together a number of ways.  One of those is watching the television together whenever there's a Mariners game on or watching one of the many episodes of America's Funniest Home Videos we have on the DVR. I can't wait to show him this clip when I get home...

The  crack of the bat, the smell of glove oil, the shimmering emerald field of freshly cut grass...  It can mean but one thing...  The "Boys of Summer" have returned, not only at the Big League level, but for those future Hall-Of-Famers in the making who will converge on sandlots, parks and school diamonds up and down the valley!

After a tumultuous offseason, the Yakima Bears are counting down to their 23rd season in town.             “We’re focused on 2012,” said General Manager K.L. Wombacher who also indicated that the team’s energy is aimed towards a successful season.             WIth the spectre of moving to Vancouver and a new stadium hanging over the heads of the team, the Bears finished last season 33-43, but were

The Seattle Mariners kick off their season one month from today (or four weeks from tomorrow)! I know I'll be up at 3 a.m. March 28th to watch Felix Hernandez dominate the Oakland A's. To get you excited (and remind you that not everything that happened last year was awful), here's some highlights from SeattleMariners...

In a Friday game at the Little League World Series, Huntington Beach, California pitcher Braydon Salzman was almost smacked in the forehead with a line-drive ball. It would’ve surely been a scary event (just ask this minor leaguer) — were it not for the brim of his ball cap. While the impact did knock Salzman to the ground, slow-motion replay shows his cap’s bill took the brunt of the impact, leav

When Christian Lopez caught the home run that was Derek Jeter's 3,000th hit last week, he gave the historic ball to the Yankee's shortstop without asking for any money, even though it may have fetched over $100,000 on the open market. The taxman isn't being so generous with Lopez.
