Atlanta CNN — The first thing you notice when a home run ball starts to fly in your direction is that all your preconceived notions of how you’d react in that moment are pretty much wrong. I played baseball my entire childhood. My greatest skill was that I wasn’t afraid of the ball and was happy to use my body to knock it down however I could. As I’ve moved nearly 20 years past my playing days, I assumed the instinct to go after the ball would still be there. But after Monday night’s 2025 T-Mobile Home Run Derby, I…

Atlanta CNN — The hottest topic in Atlanta ahead Tuesday’s Major League Baseball isn’t a player, a coach or a manager. It’s not even human. For the first time, the midsummer classic is going to be using automated technology to allow pitchers, catchers and batters to challenge balls and strikes – a system that’s been in use in the minor leagues and in spring training but had never been put in place before at a major league park. It’s a technology that has the potential to revolutionize the game, a system that might forever change one of the ficklest parts…

MI NY won their second MLC title ©MLC In the end, it was all too familiar for the men in blue-and-gold on Sunday night. True to the grandest traditions of the MI franchise, MI New York, down and buried earlier in the tournament clawed their way back to life. Summoning that familiar alter-ego: the most ruthless, trophy-churning machinery the franchise world has ever seen. MINY sheepishly dropped six of their first seven games heading into the final Miami leg of the tournament. Going by the words of their Talisman, Keiron Pollard, they shook off those defeats with a bit of…
It started out with what he thought was a “realistic” target, but it quickly turned into a nightmare for West Indies captain Roston Chase that not even his opponents could believe was happening. Six balls after bowling Australia out to set up a fourth-innings chase of 204 to beat the No.1-ranked Test team, West Indies were three down without scoring and the game effectively out of reach. “A three-wicket maiden in the first over of a Test innings is just bonkers,” said Aussie skipper Pat Cummins post-match. “This morning we came here trying to extend out the day a little…
