Boston-Area Little Leaguers Have Strange Allegiances
Wallpole is located about 20 minutes southwest of Boston.

All well and good ... but check out the Walpole team introductions, ...
Johan Santana Is Mr. August
This will be your one and only Bert Blyleven update for this season, so pay attention. Blyleven, to my knowledge the only Minnesota Twins starting pitcher to have been born in Zeist, Netherlands, struck out 15 Oakland Athletics on Aug. 1, 1986; a Twins record. Or it was, until Johan Santana struck o...

So, if you've been too caught up in not watching David Beckham and the MLS, you might have missed it, but we're in the midst of a rather unprecedented pennant chase in Major League Baseball.
