The announcement was made by John Entz, Executive Vice President, Production & Executive Producer, FOX Sports. Smoltz and Vasgersian join the game roster that already includes Joe Buck, Harold Reynolds and Tom Verducci, reporters Erin Andrews and Ken Rosenthal, and play-by-play announcers Kenny Albert and Thom Brennaman. “We are thrilled to add Matt and John to our arsenal of MLB on FOX broadcasters,” Entz said. “Both are very well respected within the game, and each has a style that resonates with viewers.” A familiar face to sports fans, Vasgersian has called MLB and NFL on FOX telecasts and hosted FOX Sports’ national pregame show from the MLB Network studios in Secaucus, N.J. He continues to work in the booth and studio for MLB Network, and along with recently announced MLB on FOX lead game analyst Harold Reynolds, has been part of the multi-Emmy Award winning program MLB Tonight. Vasgersian has also worked on NBC Sports’ Olympics broadcast team, most recently having called ski jumping at the Sochi Games, a role he also held in Vancouver (2010) and Torino (2006). Before joining FOX Sports and MLB Network, Vasgersian served as the television play-by-play voice of the San Diego Padres and Milwaukee Brewers.

    The Boston Red Sox Friday, June 16, 2017 * The Boston Globe Chris Sale brought his A game, but Red Sox didn’t bring bats Peter Abraham PHILADELPHIA — Chris Sale had a game he’ll never forget on Thursday night, for reasons good and ultimately bad. The Red Sox pitcher had the first extra-base hit of his career and ran the bases like a giraffe being chased by a lion, his long legs taking him to second base on a double in the eighth inning and then to third. But Sale was left stranded, then he allowed a run in the bottom of the inning as the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Red Sox, 1-0. The unlikely victory snapped an eight-game losing streak for the Phillies and was their first shutout of the season. The Sox failed to sweep the four-game, home-and-home interleague series. It was the sixth time the Sox have been blanked, matching all of last season. They managed only five hits, struck out 12 times, and were 1 for 8 with runners in scoring position. The Sox open a three-game series at Houston on Friday night. The 45-22 Astros have the best record in baseball. Sale (8-3) pitched his best game in several weeks. He allowed the one run on four hits and struck out 10 with one walk. It was the ninth time in 14 starts that Sale struck out 10 or more. “Just an outstanding performance all the way around,” Sox manager John Farrell said. “He personally did everything that he could to impact this game.” Sale got through seven innings with 93 pitches and took his turn at bat to start the eighth inning.

  • A Geographical Look at Home Runs
    Academic Forum 24 2006-07 A Geographical Look at Home Runs Fred Worth, Ph.D. Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science Abstract - In this paper, we will look at career home runs for major league baseball players based on the state in which they were born. Major league baseball is known for its interesting statistics. There are multitudes of numbers and multitudes of ways of looking at the numbers. For some now-forgotten reason, I once started looking at home runs by the state of birth of the home run hitter. This chart gives home runs by state (including the District of Columbia). Consider the chart below, where “n” denotes the number of players born in that state who have hit at least one major league home run. [Note: All data comes from Lee Sinin's Sabermetric Baseball Encyclopedia .] HRs n HRs n HRs n Alabama 7985 153 Kentucky 2851 100 North Dakota 284 7 Alaska 71 5 Louisiana 4057 97 Ohio 10682 369 Arizona 876 32 Maine 262 23 Oklahoma 5090 105 Arkansas 3252 61 Maryland 4729 101 Oregon 2293 46 California 41790 894 Massachusetts 4314 217 Pennsylvania 13666 493 Colorado 414 27 Michigan 5057 149 Rhode Island 1093 30 Connecticut 1999 76 Minnesota 2505 62 South Carolina 3496 88 D.C. 600 35 Mississippi 3256 84 South Dakota 122 10 Delaware 563 18 Missouri 6882 234 Tennessee 3045 102 Florida 8984 163 Montana 198 9 Texas 11238 303 Georgia 5672 139 Nebraska 1137 46 Utah 170 11 Hawaii 202 15 Nevada 200 8 Vermont 540 17 Idaho 712 11 New Hampshire 301 20 Virginia 2624 95 Illinois 11504 393 New Jersey 3830 146 Washington 2952 68 Indiana 3601 129 New Mexico 664 9 West Virginia 1803 50 Iowa 1611 75 New York 13008 404 Wisconsin 2534 83 Kansas 1756 66 North Carolina 3507 168 Wyoming 244 6 Not surprisingly, California has both the most home runs and the most 45000 home run hitters.
