Morse: Yankees prime for a big fall
The New York Yankees have been the most successful team in Major League Baseball by just about any measure. They’ve got longevity with 27 World Series titles and recent success with postseason trips in 17 of the last 18 years, making the playoffs every year of the wild card era except 2008. Based on... »
Morse: Red Sox in for a long summer
I really hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Boston Red Sox fans may be in for a long, hot summer. Only eight teams in the history of Major League Baseball have ever pulled off the last-to-first turnaround and the Red Sox will not be the ninth. The Arizona Diamondbacks have the... »
Morse: Mets can surprise the National League
The opening of the Major League Baseball season is fast approaching and this is the first of a series of columns detailing what is in store for our three local teams. Mets fans may be in for a glorious ride to the playoffs this summer. I know it’s been a while since New York... »
Guilty until proven innocent in the Hall’s eyes
Barry Bonds, baseball’s career leader in home runs, and Roger Clemens, the only seven-time Cy Young Award winner, were not inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in last week’s voting by the Baseball Writers Association of America. Apparently the phrase “innocent until proven guilty” doesn’t apply to baseball. Bonds and Clemens, long suspected of using... »
The tradition of Thanksgiving morning
The pots are bubbling on the stove as the aroma of the holidays begins to steam up the windows. There is nothing quite like the ritual of preparing Thanksgiving dinner. Before you dig into that sumptuous feast that’s still five hours from completion, there’s the tradition of the Big Game. With still more than... »
The thin line between right and wrong
There are civil rights, the Bill of Rights and The Price is Right. You’ve got the wrong side of town, two wrongs don’t make a right and what’s wrong with you. Jokes aside, the line between right and wrong is usually a thin one. We’ve all ended up on both sides of the issue... »
Politics stain Olympic experience
Ever since I was a little boy, I get weepy-eyed sitting on my couch as they raise the flag of the United States of America at Olympic medal ceremonies. I have some fond memories of the Olympics, the most glorified sporting event in the history of this great country. I’m reminded of the 1968... »
Midsummer Classic offers chance to reflect, look forward
The words are kind of catchy even for an old song: “I’m going to Kansas City, Kansas City here I come.” MLB has gone to Kansas City twice before this year to celebrate the Midsummer Classic. In 1960, Kansas City was the site of the 28th All-Star Game. From 1959-1962, baseball held two such games... »
A different kind of madness
With all the basketball hoopla, I almost forgot about my favorite form of March madness. Baseball’s spring training is as mad as it gets — especially when you add Bobby Valentine. Baseball, unlike most other sports, is a grueling, six-month race that takes us from spring to fall. No other sport can claim that... »
A white water adventure
I played baseball and football during my heyday. I even played one year of organized basketball—not very well, I might add. Something about being vertically challenged was the polite way they put it. The way I look at it, anything that makes you perspire profusely should be considered a sport. Why else would you... »
