Philadelphia Phillies Nab Pedigreed Shortstop J.P. Crawford Early in the MLB Draft
Yahoo! Contributor Network - Fri, Jun 7, 2013 12:30 AM EDT
There are certain high schools that come to mind when the term sports "factory" is employed. Football has Long Beach Poly and St. Thomas Aquinas. Basketball has DeMatha and baseball has a slew of schools in Texas and Mater Dei. But you'd be hard-pressed to find a school turning out baseball talent with the regularity of Lakewood High School outside of Los Angeles, California.

Yahoo! Contributor Network - Thu, Jun 6, 2013 4:19 PM EDT
COMMENTARY | Atlanta Braves catcher Brian McCann notched the 1,000th hit of his career on June 3 and now finds himself climbing higher and higher up the club's all-time record book. The sad realization many Braves fans may have to come to is that McCann's $12 million salary could make him a cap casualty next season -- particularly since Evan Gattis remains waiting in the wings. If this truly is Mac's last season playing with the Tomahawk Chop in the background, will he leave as the best catcher to ever don a Braves uniform?

Yahoo! Contributor Network - Thu, Jun 6, 2013 8:28 AM EDT
COMMENTARY | The Cincinnati Reds are 36-24 and are 2.5 games behind first place in the National League Central division.

Will the Atlanta Braves Run Away with the NL East Title?
Yahoo! Contributor Network - Wed, Jun 5, 2013 6:26 PM EDT
COMMENTARY | According to Harry Nilsson, "One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do." Apparently, no one told the Atlanta Braves. It seems the front-runners of the NL East are perfectly happy being the one, very lonely team at the top of the divisional standings. Will any other club even threaten to join the Braves in -- what has quickly become -- baseball's most one-sided race? More »Will the Atlanta Braves Run Away with the NL East Title?
