It’s been 26 years since Fenway Park last hosted an All-Star Game, one which produced three iconic moments: the home run derby featuring a Lansdowne street mosh pit, the announcement of the all-century team featuring a Ted Williams first pitch, and a Pedro Martinez masterclass featuring strikeouts of some of the most feared hitters in history So when will we get to host again? There are no immediate plans to bring the game back here, but both the Red Sox and Rob Manfred seem eager for the stars to be back in Fenway. (Peter Abraham, Boston Globe) I’ve got a…
The New England Patriots spent the past two seasons at the bottom of the AFC East. A massive climb up the standings is possible in 2025. NFL.com’s Kevin Patra ranked the eight teams that finished last in their respective division during the 2024 season. The Patriots placed second behind the San Francisco 49ers as the squad most likely to transition from “worst to first” and win their division in 2025. Patra noted that last year marked just the third season since 2003 that nobody jumped from last place to first. Can the Pats ride the NFL’s wave of parity to…
LONDON (AP) — Fauja Singh, an Indian-born runner nicknamed the Turbaned Torpedo who was believed to be the world’s oldest marathon runner, has died after being hit by a car. He was 114. Local media in India reported that Singh sustained severe head injuries in a hit-and-run accident on Monday while he was crossing the road at his native village near Jalandhar in Punjab. He was taken to the hospital where he later died. His London-based running club and charity, Sikhs In The City, confirmed his death. India’s Prime minister Narendra Modi paid tribute to Singh, saying he was “extraordinary…
In the late 19th century, when the American golf scene was still in its infancy, a Scottish pro named Willie Campbell – who’d immigrated to Massachusetts to be a pro at the Country Club of Brookline – had a novel idea. Make the sport accessible to the masses. He successfully petitioned the city of Boston to build a course at Franklin Park, creating an affordable way for all the world and not just the upper class to fall in love with the sport. If he could see us now. True, we have public courses aplenty, but the greens fees? We…
Yandy Díaz reportedly has some fans at Four Jersey Street. The Boston Red Sox, as you’re all well aware, are among the most interesting teams as we approach the trade deadline, having ripped off three consecutive series sweeps prior to the 2025 MLB All-Star Game. It’s all but certain they’ll add reinforcements over the coming weeks, and one team insider claims they have eyes on a division rival. MassLive’s Chris Cotillo broke down the different avenues the franchise could explore on Wednesday, providing some sourced context on a number of different topics. Díaz’s name came up when discussing potential lineup…
The New England Patriots will return to the practice field next week. While they are expected to improve after going 4-13 last season, there are still plenty of question marks surrounding the team heading into training camp. Most of those questions are on the offensive side of the ball. For instance, a full season of Drake Maye is exciting, but does he have the weapons to make a real Year 2 leap? If not, the Patriots still have the time and money to make moves to improve their offense, as Tom E. Curran notes on the latest episode of the…
BOSTON (AP) — Caitlin Clark went to the bench with an apparent leg injury in the final minute of the Indiana Fever’s 85-77 victory over the Connecticut Sun on Tuesday night. Natasha Howard scored 18 points with 13 rebounds in front of a sold-out crowd of 19,156 at the home of the Boston Celtics and Bruins. Clark struggled during the game, scoring 14 points on 4 for 14 shooting, and walked off the court at the end crying and clutching her right leg. Clark missed five games recently and five others earlier in the season with left leg injuries. Tina…
HARRISON, N.J. – Sports Illustrated Stadium continues to be a house of horrors for the New England Revolution, which had its 2-0 lead evaporate in a second half meltdown on Wednesday night against the New York Red Bulls. The Red Bulls (9-8-6, 33 points) emerged victorious, 5-3, riding a pair of braces by Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Emil Forsberg, as the Revolution’s winless run reached seven games. New England is now 1-14-2 across all competitions at the facility, which opened in 2010 and formerly went by the name Red Bull Arena. To add further intrigue, former New York Giants quarterback…
The Boston Red Sox have plenty of avenues to explore prior to the trade deadline, but one in particular is flying under the radar. It’s getting spooky behind the dish… Carlos Narváez has been an absolute revelation at catcher, stepping up and becoming one of the most productive players at his position in the American League — doing it all as a rookie. Connor Wong, on the other hand, has slidden down the ranks as quickly as his partner has risen, becoming one of the least valuable players in all of baseball this season — which isn’t hyperbole. Boston likely…
