Baseball

The 2013 Baseball Hall of Fame elections were earlier today an no player was selected. It's the first time since 1996 that nobody on the ballot got in. On this years ballot were a few of the 'steroid era' players, including Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Sammy Sosa.

On Wednesday, baseball's Hall of Fame will announce the players who comprise the 2013 class of inductees—or they will announce that no one has surpassed the 75 percent voting mark required for induction. Which would be remarkable, given that some of the greatest players ever to step on a baseball diamond are on the ballot this year. So why the uncertainty? Steroids, of course.

Either as a way to pay homage to the legendary Abbott & Costello or merely a way to confuse the heck out young audiences, 'Late Night' host Jimmy Fallon performed a sequel to the always mind-boggling 'Who's On First?' routine. By his side stood some living legends who successfully delivered the hysterical sketch, making it a complete win.

The Boston Red Sox have next year's manager in place after hiring former pitching coach John Farrell. Now they begin to fill out his coaching staff. Brian Butterfield will follow Farrell from Toronto to Boston. Butterfield, a Bangor, Maine native was the third base coach for the Blue Jays last year and will fill the same position for the BoSox this year...

In case you missed it—and judging by the ratings, you probably did—the San Francisco Giants finished their World Series sweep of the Detroit Tigers on Sunday night. This year continued a trend in which fewer and fewer people are watching the World Series, especially if it's a four-game sweep...

Marco Scutaro's line drive single scored Ryan Theriot with the go-ahead run in the top of the 10th inning, and the San Francisco Giants beat the Detroit Tigers, 4-3, on Sunday night in Detroit to complete a four-game sweep of the 2012 World Series.

It seems that investigative journalism is no longer the most dangerous form of newscasting. It's time we add sports journalism to the list, because covering baseball just got dangerous!

Two World Series games, college football and an NFC East showdown highlight this weekend's sports offerings. Here's what to watch:

If you're going to break into someone's house, steal their jewelry and try to pawn it, you should probably make sure it isn't a major league baseball championship series ring.

After surviving their record sixth elimination game of the 2012 postseason on Monday night, the San Francisco Giants advanced to the 2012 World Series. There, they will face the Detroit Tigers starting Wednesday night at AT&T Park in San Fran. Here's a preview of the 2012 World Series:

John Farrell met the media today after being formally introduced as the new manager of the Boston Red Sox.

Last night, the San Francisco Giants completed a spectacular NLCS comeback by beating the St. Louis Cardinals 9-0 and taking the series four games to three. The Giants had been facing a 3-1 series deficit just a few days ago, but they're now gearing up for their Fall Classic matchup with the American League-champion Detroit Tigers. So, who's gonna win?

John Farrell is expected to be named Monday or Tuesday as the next manager of the The Boston Red Sox. Farrell spent the last two seasons as the manager of the Toronto Blue Jays and was the Red Sox pitching coach from 2007-10.

The Detroit Tigers have made it to the World Series. The last time they were there, in 2006, things ended in disappointment. Will this time be different?

Jhonny Peralta homered twice, and the Detroit Tigers beat the New York Yankees, 8-1, at Comerica Park on Thursday to sweep the American League Championship Series and advance to the World Series for the first time since 2006.

It was a wet night in the central United States. Both games in the NLCS and ALCS saw rain spoil their games, but does that have a big effect on play?
