Bronx Bombers seem to be losing some of their allure as its hometown rival has a great season start.
The New York Yankees are usually the favorites during baseball season and its hometown rival—the Mets—end up being the hopeful stepsister each spring. But this season, it seems the pinstriped champs have lost some of their lustre. With the New York Mets 4-2 record, the team started off with a powerful season after losing free agent National League batting average leader, Jose Reyes. The Yankees have a 4-3 record, but have not shown the pitching prowess that they've invested in. The Mets hit the road this weekend for a three-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies and the Yankees are playing against Albert Pujols and the Angels at Yankee Stadium. Though the season has a long way to go, it isn't too soon to cast your vote on which will…

Tuesday, October 11, 2011
In the late 1940s and 1950, both Yogi Berra and Roy Campanella were two of the most fascinating sports figures in America. Both were beloved athletes – Berra, a star catcher with the Yankees and Campanella, a star catcher with the Brooklyn Dodgers – who lived through a time when the game grew and changed as the world went through World War II and social changes. Baseball in New York experienced monumental changes as the city went from a three-team baseball city to just the Yankees when the Dodgers and Giants left for California and the Golden Age of Baseball began. But the pair also lived incredible lives and had remarkable life stories – often riddled with inaccuracies. For instance, Campanella was ostracized for his ethnic background…

Home runs lift Nationals in must-win game.
Home runs lifted Livingston Little Leaguers on Saturday to stay alive in the state championship. The National 9-10 boys had suffered their first loss on Friday night when they faced a strong team from Manasquan/Brielle. Manasquan jumped out to an 8-run lead at the end of three innings but the Nationals fought back to make the game interesting. In the end, Manasquan held the Nationals off to win the game by the score of 14-9. This meant it was do or die for the Section 2 Champion Nationals in this double-elimination tournament.

Livingston Post 201 drops opener 16-1 to Lyndhurst.
For the young Livingston Post 201 American Legion team, Wednesday was a rude introduction to the state playoffs. It would be a game to forget as Livingston lost 16-1 to Lyndhurst Post 139 in the opening round of the double-elimination District 1 tournament yesterday at Teener Field in Union. "The problem is we're boys against men," Livingston head coach Chris Politan said. "Our average age is about 16 with some 15 (year olds), and they're (older). It's a big difference. We're more of a development high school team and they're more of a team which is put together to win this tournament." Livingston quickly found itself in early trouble as starting pitcher Luke Rodino hurt his right heel in the first inning when he was spiked on a play at …

Post 201, 16-3 for the season, falls short of comeback in Essex County title game.
Chris Politan is hoping that a loss might just be the thing for the state playoffs. Last season, the Livingston Post 201 Senior American Legion team won the Essex County title, but was knocked out in two games in the state district double elimination tournament. On Saturday Post 201 staged a late comeback, but fell short of its third straight Essex County championship. The team fell 7-5 to Vailsburg, a team that includes mainly Seton Hall Prep players, on Saturday afternoon at the Oval in Livingston. Despite the loss Livingston received one of the two Essex County bids to the state district tournament since they won the American division. Post 201 will be playing 4 p.m. Wednesday afternoon against Lyndhurst in Union at Teener Field. It was…
