How Roman Anthony became one of baseball's brightest prospects

The windiest November afternoons in Stillwater, Okla. don’t greet you with a warm smile upon an unprepared arrival. A blast of chilly air saps the energy out of your skin and makes your knees tremble. Your brittle fingers feel as though they’re one gust of wind away from snapping off your palm. You’ll be at risk of losing a hat if it doesn’t sit perfectly on your head.

But Roman Anthony doesn’t need warm greetings. Any place that allows him to improve his game is warm enough to keep his passion...

Brand New Role, ‘Same Old Goga’: How Goga Bitadze Went From Struggling in Georgia to Starting in Orlando | Orlando Magic HQ

It didn’t take too long for six-year-old Goga Bitadze to decide that he hated basketball.

Even taking one step on that court felt like stepping on an emotional minefield. One wrong move and his coach would explode. And make him run. A lot. There was so much running, and for what? He already knew that he messed up. His heart would hurt from the mistake he had just made; did that mean his legs had to as well? How do the other kids not pass out midway through these running sessions? Do they find i

How Payton Tolle's mother helped him become a Boston Red Sox

Payton Tolle is not a small man. At 6-foot-6 and 250 pounds, Tolle towers over most of the batters brave enough to face him. But much larger than Tolle’s stature is the amount of enthusiasm he carries with him. When you meet Tolle for the first time, he greets you with a booming, animated voice that can fill entire stadiums. Once you sit down with him, he’ll chat with you about anything under the Boston summer sun with a Green Monster sized smile on his face.

‘He’s Got This Charm:’ How Dennis Salvagio Became The Fat Guy | Orlando Magic HQ

Dennis Salvagio rises from his seat and picks up a briefcase full of court documents that never once touched the defendant’s table. They didn’t need to. Most of the facts about his client’s possession of marijuana charge have already been seared into his brain. Now that his client’s time in front of the judge is over for the day, Salvagio starts to saunter toward the door. He turns his head toward the back of the courtroom and locks eyes with his son Chris, who gets up from the bench and joins his father in their walk toward the car.

“Positive thoughts, positive outcomes,” Aaron Cason reminded himself as he ate his blueberry pancakes and hashbrowns.

'It really stems from who he is as a person': WooSox' Ryan Fitzgerald embraced the Worcester community — and the city repaid him

The clubhouse located underneath Polar Park’s home dugout is a large, vibrant room adorned with several wooden lockers, most of which look like near-replicas of one another. If no one’s sitting in front of it, or if you don’t read the WooSox-themed nameplates attached to each one of them, it’s nearly impossible to tell which locker belongs to which player.

But one particular locker, located near the left corner past the room’s entrance, stands out from the rest. Taped just above its nameplate i

“This Is My Home Now”: Michael Carter-Williams on His New Deal, His Time Away, and What Orlando Means to Him

Orlando, FL – Michael Carter-Williams spends much of his time working out. No matter what new city he visits, any place with a weight room, a basketball court and enough space to exercise feels like home to him. That feeling never falters, even when he has no team to play for. He’s still able to find perfect peace inside a gym even when he doesn’t have a place to travel to or even a city’s name to wear on his chest.

Such was the case in March 2019, when Carter-Williams would often take to a Cal

Wilyer Abreu talks about his breakout season and what it took to achieve it

He had no choice but to be. Wisler had already bested Abreu twice in that at-bat with two strikes. One more and he would be called for Worcester’s second out of the sixth inning, losing the chance to send teammate Enmanuel Valdez home from second base.

Joe Jones: 200 wins, countless lives changed – The Daily Free Press

Six seconds remained in the game after Boston University senior forward Patrick Hazel sank his second free throw. The University of Rhode Island Rams scrambled to inbound the ball and tossed it to freshman forward Jonathan Holton, but BU sophomore guard DJ Irving snatched the ball and let the clock run out. The game was over. The Terriers defeated Rhode Island on Nov. 26, 2011.

It was Terriers head coach Joe Jones’ first win with the program, and one he still looks fondly on after 200+ more.
