True Grit: College Football Photos That Feel Real
For some sports fans, fall is the season when baseball finally gets interesting. But for countless other maniacs, autumn is about one thing: football. College football. It doesn't really matter whether a school is in the SEC or the Big Ten; the Ivy League or Big Sky; Division I, II or III: when summ...
The Few, the Proud, the Totally Chill: In Praise of Old-School Beach Bums
In February 1950, LIFE published a feature on what the magazine called "the gold-bricking existence" of ski bums at Sun Valley, Idaho. Eight months later, the magazine published a follow-up under the wonderful title, "LIFE Revisits the Ski Bums (and Finds They Are Now Beach Bums)."...

Cancer Sucks. RIP, Babe
When most of us think of Babe Ruth, if we think of him at all, we think of the booze-liking, pussy-loving, dinger-slamming manchild with the Mr. Incredible physique (massive upper body perched atop those incongruously skinny, even dainty little legs). But after all these years, and all the stories t...

Hey, the All-Star Game Is Finally Here! I Said, the All-Star Game Is Fi ... Oh, Forget It
No one who was playing professional baseball the year that I last watched an entire All-Star Game from start to finish is still playing today. Not one single player.
