Baseball

It is the baseball equivalent of losing American Gothic. Misplacing the master tape of Springsteen's Born to Run. Suddenly being unable to locate the Empire State Building or the Washington Monument.

Forty years after it was played, the clinching game of the 1975 World Series has become lost in the fog of time.

The list of starting pitchers set to hit free agency this winter reads like the notes in the margin of a Cy Young Award ballot.

One arm, though, could turn the market on its head—and he's currently signed through 2016.

Your true colors are showing, A-Rod.

New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez slipped up during the live broadcast from Kauffman Stadium following Game 2 of the World Series, saying Yankees instead of Mets.

The panel's reaction may have been the best part—most notably Pete Rose's facial expression.

If the New York Mets are going to win the 2015 World Series, they'll need to claw their way out of the 2-0 hole they've dug themselves against the Kansas City Royals.

Yeah, it sounds bad. But some of you may remember it's nothing the Mets haven't done before, as they had to fight back from a 2-0 deficit the last time they won the World Series back in 1986.

The Kansas City Royals didn't trade for Johnny Cueto to beat the Boston Red Sox in August or the Baltimore Orioles in September.

Good thing, too, because Cueto gave up 15 runs in those two games.

Doesn't matter now, does it?

The Kansas City Royals used a brilliant complete-game outing from Johnny Cueto and a four-run blitz in the fifth inning to defeat the New York Mets, 7-1, in Game 2 of the World Series to take a 2-0 lead as things gets set to shift east. 

R.A. Dickey struggled mightily with a 7.11 ERA in two postseason starts for the Toronto Blue Jays, but he apparently did enough during the last three seasons to convince his team to pick up the 2016 option on his contract.

Kansas City Royals right-hander Edinson Volquez will start Game 5 of the 2015 World Series, per USA Today columnist Bob Nightengale.

Volquez pitched six innings Tuesday in Game 1 of the World Series against the New York Mets, allowing six hits and three earned runs while earning a no-decision in the Royals' 5-4 victory in 14 innings. 

Winning baseball starts on the mound, and that's an understatement as far as the 2015 World Series goes with two stud pitchers lining up for Game 2 in Kauffman Stadium.

The Kansas City Royals took a 2-0 lead over the New York Mets with a 7-1 victory Wednesday night at Kauffman Stadium. 

After a Lucas Duda single gave the Mets the lead in the fourth inning, Kansas City's contact-driven lineup broke through against Jacob deGrom in the fifth inning. The Royals scored four runs behind singles from Alcides Escobar, Eric Hosmer and Mike Moustakas.
