The 1953 World Series was tied at two games apiece. Seventy years ago today, Mickey Mantle's third-inning grand slam helped the Yankees take a series lead and defeat the Dodgers for their 16th championship. #postseason #MLBpostseason

Larry Doby never played for the @StPaulSaints or the @ChasRiverDogs, yet neither club assigns his number out of respect.

Hamtramck Stadium is one of the last surviving Negro Leagues parks. And it was almost lost, until locals stepped up with lawnmowers and hammers.
