Sports Weekly road race series is one of the most extensive of its kind Scott Benjamin , Community Contributor Posted | Updated Reply Bob Satterlee checks his time after 4.8 miles. Paul Butler has run in the Roxbury Road Runners Club series for 20 years. Ed Sandifer Bill Burley Jim Fixx Mary Mahrer Larry Kershnar By Scott Benjamin ROXBURY – As the running boom was taking off, Bill Burley decided to recreate the "fun" he had in a summer race series in suburban Westport by bringing it to the rolling farmlands and winding stonewalls of rural Litchfield County. Burley, who had taught Physical Education at the Bedford and Coleytown elementary schools in Westport, had just finished his first year as principal at the now-defunct East Street Elementary School in New Milford. … [Read more...] about Roxbury runners get fit, conquer hills, make friends

When you call his cell, or he calls you, the gravelly voice responds both as a statement and fact. “Barnett!” Dick Barnett – Dr. Dick Barnett – an owner of two championship rings with the Knicks and a Doctor of Education from Fordham University, is nothing but relentless when he wants to accomplish something worthwhile. Now 85 years of age, Barnett is the focus of a decades long obsession to tell the story of the first college basketball team to win three consecutive national championships. And no, it’s not John Wooden’s UCLA Bruins. It’s Barnett’s team. His squad, the Tennessee A&I State College Tigers (now Tennessee State University), is one of the many Historical Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) across this nation whose sports exploits have been forgotten. During the 1957-59 three-peat, the Tigers went 99-10 with team captain Barnett winning back-to-back NAIA tournament MVP awards. “They wouldn’t put us in the NCAA tournament,” recalls Barnett, a native … [Read more...] about Dick Barnett whispers loudly

The 2022 season will be one in which many of the most significant products of the Orioles’ rebuilding project will arrive in Baltimore, where they’ll hope to add to the stories already told between being acquired and reaching the majors. That’s certainly the case for catcher Adley Rutschman, the Orioles’ and baseball’s top prospect. Drafted first overall in 2019, Rutschman has been the face of the Orioles’ rebuild ever since. At last, he’ll be the face of their major league team as well, joining the club Saturday for his long-awaited debut. Here’s a look back at Rutschman’s journey in the organization, as told by The Baltimore Sun, from the 2019 draft’s first pick up to Saturday’s first game at Camden Yards. Orioles select Oregon State catcher Adley Rutschman with top pick in MLB draft — June 3, 2019 In what executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias consistently referred to as the biggest decision the Orioles would make in his first season leading the … [Read more...] about Road to the Show: Top prospect Adley Rutschman joins Orioles for long-awaited debut.

Things are always more interesting around here when the Yankees look like the YANKEES again, which means looking like they have a chance to be great again. That hasn’t happened in a while, maybe not since the American League Championship Series of 2019, one the Astros won with that buzzer-beating walk-off homer from our old friend, Jose Altuve. They’ve definitely looked great so far, as just about everything possible has broken exactly right for them. They’ve been carried by their pitching, both starting and relief, by Aaron Judge and their other starting forward, Giancarlo Stanton. Judge and Stanton, of course, are the only two guys with 50-home run seasons on their resumes playing for the Yankees at the same time since Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris were those guys in the ‘60s. They have also been remarkably healthy until Chad Green, one of the horses in Aaron Boone’s bullpen, came up with a sore forearm the other day in Baltimore. You add it all up, and there are plenty of … [Read more...] about Mike Lupica: How good are these Yankees? We’ll find out over the next month

As he walked off the Miami Heat practice court Monday, veteran forward and converted hockey fan Udonis Haslem shook his head. “Not good. Not good,” he said. “The Lightning, that’s not good for us, right?” He was talking about the Florida Panthers’ second-round matchup against the Tampa Bay Lightning, the two-time-defending Stanley Cup champions. And he recognized an intrastate rivalry percolating because of the Panthers’ rise to contender status. The day after Haslem’s forecast, ahead of what turned into 0-2 direness for his adopted Panthers, another intrastate rivalry received a jolt, with the Orlando Magic winning the NBA lottery, the first pick in the June 23 draft now theirs. That, of course, is a big deal. And the Magic certainly have done big things with such selections before, turning previous No. 1 selections into Shaquille O’Neal, Penny Hardaway (through trade) and Dwight Howard. The Heat, by contrast, with the notable exception of Dwyane Wade, largely have … [Read more...] about Ira Winderman: Based on how balls bounced, is a rivalry brewing for Heat?

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 24 MARIUPOL, Ukraine (AP) — Somewhere inside the grimly defended Mariupol steel plant, where he and his comrades were making their last stand, one Ukrainian soldier was tackling a crossword puzzle. With reading glasses perched on the end of his nose and deep in concentration, he looked peaceful — in this war-torn city and amid a violent siege that was anything but. Squeezed against a concrete wall in heavy combat boots and camouflage fatigues, he was surely uncomfortable — but too engrossed to care. Or to notice the photographer hovering to his right, immortalizing the moment inside this last bastion of Ukrainian resistance, the pulverized Azovstal steel mill. For nearly three months, Azovstal’s garrison clung on, refusing to be winkled out from the tunnels … [Read more...] about AP PHOTOS: A POW’s legacy of Mariupol siege pictures
