COOPERSTOWN, NY – The hot sun shining over the record crowd was a welcome relief for the Hall of Fame, which worried about heavy rains that hit south.

“I think the [...]

John Maine took a lot of ribbing from his teammates and even the media after last night’s 8-4 win over the Pirates. After hitting his first career home run, he didn’t hear the end of it and was called a power hitter by some Mets.

RANGERS ANNOUNCE 2007-2008 SCHEDULE
Team Opens 81st Season on October 4 Against Florida At Madison Square Garden
New York, July 11, 2007 – The New York Rangers will open the 2007-08 season on Thursday, October 4, taking on the Florida Panthers at Madison Square Garden. This marks the fourth time in the last 10 years [...]
