After the series spotlighted athletes such as Josh Donaldson and Adrian Gonzalez for past entries, Mlb The Show 17 will pull from baseball’s past for cover duties next year. Seattle Mariner and Cincinnati Reds legend Ken Griffey Jr. will adorn the cover of 2017’s release, Sony announced today.
For those who grew up watching baseball in the 1990’s, Ken Griffey Jr. is one of the most imitated, and celebrated athletes of all time. A 13-time All-Star, 10-time Gold Glove winner and masher of 630 home runs, The Kid is an excellent choice for the cover of Mlb The Show 17. This is just another accolade for the legend, as 2016 also saw him go into the Baseball Hall of Fame. For those that follow that process, you’ll know that this is no small feat.
As for the game itself, Sony has not revealed full specs for the title yet. While we wait for those details to arrive,...

Check out Yasiel Puig, Adrian Gonzalez and Justin Turner in the locker room after beating up on the Cubs last night ... they're pretty excited.

Quick background ... Bautista said there are "circumstances" working against the Blue Jays -- and it doesn't take a brain surgeon to know he's saying the home plate umpires are favoring the Cleveland Indians. So, how does Buck feel about the situation?...

Vin Scully, the voice of the Dodgers, is calling it a career this weekend after 67 years in the booth. If you will indulge me, I’d like to tell you about one of my favorite moments from Scully behind the microphone, and about one night at Dodger Stadium that will make me miss him even more.
But first, a little background. I was never a big baseball guy growing up, even though I played a couple of seasons on a local Little League team. (Our squad was called the Firemen.) During those days, when I wasn’t playing the game, either in Little League or somewhere on my grandma’s farm with my cousins, the presence of a baseball broadcast usually meant that something I’d rather have been watching on TV was unavailable to see because someone else wanted to watch the damn game. (I tried to sit down,...

A fast-thinking, Columbo-esque lawyer for the L.A. Dodgers blew the lid off a major memorabilia theft ring that looted the organization for years. Chad Gunderson, Sr. Counsel for the L.A.

It bears watching and re-watching (thanks, Vine), but we have a different emotion every time. First of all, this spectator caught a foul ball with his bare hand at the Dodgers-Cubs game at Wrigley Field tonight with such ease, it almost looked fake! As if Dodgers first baseman Adrian Gonzalez actually did catch the ball and then someone edited this guy in. (In fact, the umpire did rule the catch an interference on Gonzalez, who would easily have caught the ball otherwise.) But far more importantly, while this fellow snagged that ball with his right hand, his left hand was busy holding a baby! Actually, to be more specific—he was feeding a baby! So, while the catch was one of those once-in-a-lifetime,...

“My Life is a Lifetime Movie” presented the story of Lisa Lynette Clark. When she was in her 30s, Clark began a sexual relationship with her son’s best friend, Adrian Gonzalez. At the time he was just 14, but Clark’s son had told his mother Gonzalez was 17, which is considered legal in Georgia.
At first, Clark rejected Gonzalez’ advances, but she soon developed feelings for him. She agreed to go on a date with him -- and they slept together that night. She said, "He put me on a pedestal like no one else had ever done."
As for Adrian, he said of the experience, “Yeah, I was 14. Whatever. I mean, God, I was a guy, you know. I wasn’t saying no."

Today, at the Sony Style store in Midtown New York, Boston Red Sox first basement Adrian Gonzalez and New York Yankees pitcher Cc Sabathia kicked off the 2012 Major League Baseball season early with a game of Mlb 12 the Show on PS3.
Gonzalez may be the cover athlete for this year’s Mlb the Show, but that didn’t stop Cc from coming by to show off his pitching skills with the PS3 Move controller.
At last year’s promo event, then-cover athlete and Minnesota Twins catcher Joe Mauer was the sole ball player to be featured at the event. So it was a delight to see these two players, from rival teams, show up to show off their skills.
Cc admitted to be a fan of the game franchise and plays last year’s release at home. Although the two star athletes didn’t play a full game, Cc proved...

The longtime Padre and San Diego native, Adrian Gonzalez had his best season in his first year as a new fan favorite member of the Boston Red Sox in 2011, with 213 hits, 45 doubles, 27 home runs, 117 RBIs and a .338 batting average.

We hold in our hands the covers for DC Comics this March. As a child of four can plainly see, these comics have been hermetically sealed in a Cgc 9.8 slab, and they’ve been kept in a #2 mayonnaise jar under a giant pile of Christmas tinsel since noon today.
What do we have worth noting? The first fill-in artist on Justice League, although Gene Ha is certainly no slouch in that department. We also have new writers on Firestorm and Green Arrow, new backups in Justice League and Action Comics, and the DC 52 hits lucky number 7.
Shall we see who is the fariest of them all? Oh indeedy, let’s do!
As usual, spoilers may lurk beyond this point.

New York Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano bashed his way to a Home Run Derby title at the pre-All-Star Game festivities in Phoenix Monday night (July 11).
Cano, who has 15 homers for the Yankees this season, smacked 32 in the contest, including a record 12 in the final round, to beat Adrian Gonzalez of the Boston Red Sox by one. He dethroned reigning champ David Ortiz, who finished tied for third but was way off the pace with nine.
His homers included a massive, 472-foot shot that clanged off a sign deep in the right-center field stands. "That was my favorite one," he tells the AP. "I'm going to have that in my mind for the next two or three weeks. I wonder how far could it be, that in New York? I got power."
Um, yeah.

It’s an all-too-common dilemma: Who hasn’t considered getting back together with the “one who got away” — or even the one you got away from?

It's not often that contract news makes for such hot headlines, but earlier this morning there were two big stories that both involved famous people signing gigantic contracts worth millions of dollars. Each one comes from a different branch of the entertainment genre (Howard Stern being a legendary radio DJ, while Carl Crawford is a hot baseball prospect), but the thing that brings them together is the massive number of dollars involved in each.
In the first instance, Stern inked a new deal with Sirius/Xm radio, the satellite company who adopted him when he left terrestrial radio back in 2004. That original deal was worth $500 million dollars. Stern ended up producing content across two different satellite radio stations, and Sirius/Xm gives him credit for bringing 20 million more listeners to satellite radio.

It’s officially the halfway point of summer this week, as the Major League Baseball All-Star Game is tomorrow at Busch Stadium in St. Louis. The week will feature a number of musical guests, including a rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” care of Sheryl Crow and a performance by David Cook at tonight’s Home Run Derby.
While the actual All-Star Game is perpetually a snoozer even for hardcore fans, the Home Run Derby is always a reason to tune in to Espn. This year’s contestants are an eclectic mix of old saws and newcomers, and since it’s regularly impossible to project just who is going to win (past victors include not-quite-legends like Garret Anderson and Wally Joyner), the only real way to judge who will come out on top is to judge each contestant by his entrance music.
Yes, just like the WWE, just about every player...
