  • Cincinnati Reds' Eugenio Suarez Celebrates After Hitting a Solo Home Run Off San Diego Padres Relief Pitcher Brad Hand in the Seventh Inning Thursday, Aug
    Cincinnati Reds Press Clippings August 24, 2017 THIS DAY IN REDS HISTORY 1990-The Reds release Ken Griffey, Sr. MLB.COM 'Tokki 2' belts 33rd homer as Reds fall to Cubs By Mark Sheldon and Andrew Call / MLB.com | 12:05 AM ET + 196 COMMENTS CINCINNATI -- The Cubs are playing the right teams at the right time to enable them to pull away in the National League Central division race. A 9-3 victory over the Reds on Wednesday night -- aided by a three-run first inning and five-run fourth -- was their fifth win in a row. "Collectively, we were all going through a down period [in the first half of the season]," infielder Tommy La Stella said. "The talent has always been there. It's starting to turn for us right now, and turn at the right time." With the Brewers' 4-2 loss to the Giants, the Cubs opened a season-high 3 1/2-game lead in the division. In the midst of playing 13 straight games against last-place teams -- the Blue Jays, Reds and Phillies -- Chicago has won seven of the first nine games. For the season series, the Cubs have also won 10 of 15 games vs. the Reds. "You can struggle in the second half or you can learn from your mistakes and get better," winning pitcher Mike Montgomery said after the Cubs moved 11 games over .500 for the first time this season. "Now it's all about getting into the playoffs. We're completely over last year." Reds starter Asher Wojciechowski had a wobbly outing from the get-go as he faced eight batters -- and walked three -- in a 35-pitch first inning and allowed three runs.

  • The Role of Baseball in the Normalization of Cuba-US Relations
    The Role of Baseball in the Normalization of Cuba-US Relations Daniel Añorve Añorve Universidad de Guanajuato Guanajuato, México Abstract: The December, 2014 announcement by Raúl Castro and President Barack Obama regarding the "thaw" of the US-Cuba diplomatic relations opens up new possibilities. Sport, specifically baseball, represents an area of opportunity for the rapprochement of both countries. MLB baseball is increasingly dependent on the inflow of foreign talent, especially on Latin American players. The status of the Cuban player is peculiar and it could normalize as a result of the full normalization of the diplomatic relations. This paper analyzes the economic incentives as well as the existing legal challenges in the US-Cuba interdependent relationship. Finally, the argument suggests that baseball could pave the way for a constructivist approach of other specific US-Cuba relationships, partially replacing the high politics that has dominated the bilateral relationship for more than five decades. Keywods: U.S.-Cuba Diplomatic Relations, Baseball Diplomacy, Constructivism Introduction Different interpretations can be made around the December 17, 2014 announcement made by President Barack Obama’s and Raúl Catro’s announcement, in which they communicated their intention to normalize and re-establish diplomatic relations between Cuba and the United States of America. This paper begins with an attempt to explain, theoretically, the thawing of the bilateral US-Cuban relations. A second section discusses what is considered a wide range of bilateral relations between the two countries. It also explains the reason that leads the author to focus on baseball as "the" relationship of study. That relationship, as argued, requires an analysis of the different actors (and interests) involved in baseball.

    MLB IN THE COMMUNITY 2017 Office of the Commissioner MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL ROBERT D. MANFRED, JR. Commissioner of Baseball Dear Friends and Colleagues: Baseball’s ability to bring people together is one of the virtues that has long made it our National Pastime. The game affords all of us with countless opportunities to create memories for fans and to impact the causes that are important to them. For Major League Baseball and its 30 Clubs, this unique stature represents a true privilege — one that we honor. MLB’s 2017 Community Affairs Report highlights the many ways in which our game strives to be a sound corporate citizen. All of our Clubs are firmly committed to making a difference in their communities. Together, our Clubs and players shine a light on worthy causes, individuals and organizations throughout the season. Centrally, MLB has formed core partnerships with Boys & Girls Clubs of America, Stand Up To Cancer and the Jackie Robinson Foundation. Imparting their values is vital to us. In our ongoing focus on youth baseball and softball participation, we consistently emphasize the need for young people to become constructive members of their communities. Baseball entertains and intrigues from Spring Training through the World Series. At its very best, our game also has the ability to inspire. Our Community Affairs Report exemplifies the spirit of service that links all of us throughout Major League Baseball. Sincerely, Robert D. Manfred, Jr. Commissioner of Baseball LEGENDS JACKIE ROBINSON DAY On April 15, 1947, Jackie Robinson broke Major League Baseball’s color barrier by stepping onto Ebbets Field to play for the Brooklyn Dodgers.
