Baseball Hall of Famers Go to Bat to Keep Kids Safe
By Chris Epting - AOL NewsEarlier this week, almost two dozen baseball legends, including two brand-name Hall of Famers, gathered in Huntington Beach, Calif., to lend their support to an organization that goes to bat for kids. KinderVision, founded in 1991, was developed by Doug Sebastian, with the assistance of law enforcement and other experts, to teach children how to be safe and avoid sexual predators. A primary part of their efforts involves developing free educational videos and other materials that are designed to be an ongoing resource for families, schools, law enforcement and youth-serving ...
Brian Wilson: Watch His Silly George Lopez Interview [VIDEO]
By Steven Hoffer - AOL News"You've got to be a little bit crazy." Those are the wise words of San Francisco Giants pitcher Brian Wilson, whose wacky appearance on George Lopez last night -- complete with "Finding Nemo" socks and Thailand massage parlor references -- has hit the viral Internet waves like a hundred mile an hour fastball. The World Series-winning closer, already known for being a wild child of sorts, appeared on "Lopez Tonight" dressed in a sea captain outfit complete with gray beard and pipe to promote his short films for the MLB 2K11 video game on XBox, but much of the conversation featured Wilson and ...
Make That New Year's Resolution a Round Number
By Paul Kix - AOL NewsThere is a strange satisfaction in a round number. The wholeness of it -- the zero, or many zeros, tailing the number -- signifies in some respects where we stand as a culture, all of what we've created. A round number is an easier way to understand the world, your city or yourself. It is, as a recent paper just found, a goal waiting to be achieved. Two business professors -- Devin Pope at the University of Chicago and Uri Simonsohn at the University of Pennsylvania -- sought to answer how often round numbers encourage personal achievement. Among other things, they looked at professional ...
Ron Santo Career Stats
By J. Richard - AOL News(Dec. 3) -- A Chicago legend is gone. Former Cubs third baseman Ron Santo passed away Thursday after battling bladder cancer, his family has announced. Despite an impressive 15-season career in Major League Baseball and subsequent years of work as a sports analyst, Santo was never elected to baseball's Hall of Fame, even after being nominated 19 times, the Chicago Tribune reported. The Cubs themselves have honored Santo's success as a player by retiring his number and hoisting it on the flagpole at Wrigley Field. Santo was also a Lou Gehrig Memorial Award winner. He was also an ...
Sports Fans Ensnared in Fox, Cablevision Rate Dispute
By not in system - AOL NewsNEW YORK (Oct. 17) -- For the fourth time this year, Cablevision's 3 million subscribers in New York and Philadelphia are at the mercy of one of its disputes with networks, and caught in the middle are sports fans who missed playoff baseball and Sunday's New York Giants game. Negotiators for Cablevision and Fox parent News Corp. failed to reach an agreement over rates Sunday, more than a day after their deal expired amid negotiations for a new one. Fox pulled its channels and programming while the two sides discuss how much Cablevision will pay to carry them. The two sides will meet again ...

By not in system - AOL News
PHILADELPHIA -- October baseball, meet Roy Halladay. Roy Halladay, welcome to October immortality. The Phillies ace, appearing in the playoffs for the first time, joined Don Larsen on Wednesday as the only pitcher to throw a no-hitter in the postseason when he led the defending National League champions to a 4-0 victory, opposite the Cincinnati Reds in the teams' Division Series opener. ...
Tyler Colvin Suffers Collapsed Lung From Broken Bat; Season Over [VIDEO]
By David Knowles - AOL News(Sept. 20) -- In Sunday night's major league game between the Cubs and the Marlins, Chicago outfielder Tyler Colvin was impaled with the shard of broken bat as he headed from third base to home plate. The sharp point of the bat punctured Colvin's chest, and he was hospitalized for pneumothorax, an injury that has ended his season, MLB.com reported. According to the National Institutes of Health, pneumothorax, which is commonly known as collapsed lung, is often caused by "chest trauma, such as gunshot or knife wounds, rib fracture or after certain medical procedures." In Colvin's case, the ...
Roger Clemens and Perjury: Bully, Braggart, Victim
By Andrew Cohen - Politics DailyI am a lifelong, die-hard fan of the Boston Red Sox. So, naturally, I believe that former star pitcher Roger Clemens, who left the Sox and won championships with the New York Yankees, is guilty of far more heinous crimes against society than allegedly lying to Congress about steroid use. In fact, if I were drafting a bill of particulars against the former Cy Young Award winner, whose authentic No. 21 jersey still hangs in my son's closet, perjury would be far down the list, below Clemens' needless tantrum that got him ejected early in a 1990 playoff game against the Oakland A's and of course ...
Rangers' Lawyers: 'Time to Put Up or Shut Up'; Auction Set for August 4
By Jon Weinbach - AOL NewsThe legal rhetoric went up a notch in the ever-twisting saga for control of the Texas Rangers, as attorneys for the Major League Baseball club, its creditors and the investor group headed by Pittsburgh attorney Chuck Greenberg and Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan, exchanged barbs in documents filed Thursday and Friday in federal bankruptcy court. After a slew of hearings, court filings and even a lawsuit filed last week by Greenberg and Ryan against the Rangers, federal bankruptcy judge Michael Lynn has set an Aug. 4 auction for the club -- but not surprisingly, that decision has prompted more ...
