BOSTON (WHDH) – The Boston Bruins officially introduced their new head coach, Marco Sturm, Tuesday, and presented him with a jersey.Sturm is the 30th head coach in franchise history and is back in Boston after spending five years as a player.“I think it’s all about timing and I think the timing was just perfect. Why? Because where we’re at as a team right now. And I think that’s exactly where my strengths are. We still have a really, really good core group of guys here, I think. It’s going to take a little bit of time. It’s not going to…
A New England Patriots newcomer aims to learn a few tricks by watching a former franchise mainstay. The Patriots added another offensive playmaker when they drafted TreVeyon Henderson with the No. 38 pick. After winning a national title at Ohio State, the running back hopes to improve one facet of his game this summer. Per the Boston Herald’s Doug Kyed, Henderson said he has studied game film of former Patriots running back James White. Henderson noted White’s pass-catching success playing for offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, who returned to Foxboro, Mass., this offseason. “He dang near looked like a receiver,” Henderson…

Marcelo Mayer showed the Fenway Park crowd what he’s capable of when he blasted two home runs for the Red Sox in Wednesday night’s 4-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. The shortstop has been considered a top prospect by evaluators for several years now, so it should come as no surprise to Boston fans that he’s performing at a high level early on. Mayer is a player I’d describe as “a ballplayer”. All baseball players play ball, but not all baseball players are “ballplayers.” Rafael Devers is a fantastic player, but he’s not someone I look at and immediately…
Marcelo Mayer’s sweet left-handed swing was on display during Wednesday night’s Boston Red Sox-Tampa Bay Rays matchup at Fenway Park. Mayer, Boston’s No. 2 prospect, took Rays starter Zack Littell deep twice for the first two Fenway Park homers of his promising career. The first homer came in the second inning and was a 418-foot solo shot down the right field line: In the fourth inning, Mayer blasted his second homer 410 feet in the same location: Mayer, 22, became the youngest Red Sox player with a multi-homer game since Rafael Devers in 2018. With the “Big Three” of Mayer,…
The Roman Empire battles the Evil Empire at Fenway Park this weekend. The latest version of the Roman Empire dawned at Fenway Park in Boston on Monday. Roman Anthony — son of Anthony Anthony and brother of Anthony Anthony Jr. — botched his Red Sox debut by whiffing on a slow roller in the outfield that led to a run. All hail the “Roman Emp-Error.” Anthony quickly atoned for that gaffe by driving in the eventual winning run on Tuesday night in the first inning. “Vivat Romanus!” Latin is not my 2nd language. Six-plus years of Greek School were punishment enough.…
Sometimes when you try something new you discover something wonderful. That’s just what I found when I headed out to The Links at Mass Golf to attend my first-ever Women’s Golf Day, Mass Golf’s totally free day of lessons and golf to celebrate International Women’s Golf Day. I was excited to get some pointers, make some new golf friends and maybe hit some decent shots. I got all that, sure. But I also discovered that perfect spring day that The Links at Mass Golf (www.linksatmassgolf.org/) is a learner’s paradise. Let me amend that: The Links at Mass Golf is a…
