LeBron James joined yet another exclusive club, and he’ll have plenty of familiar faces alongside him at the NBA All-Star Game. James is an All-Star — and an All-Star starter — for the 20th time, with the league unveiling the results of this season’s starter balloting on Thursday night. Durant is a 14-time selection now, one of only 11 players in NBA history to be picked that many times. Tatum set an All-Star Game record last season, scoring 55 points in Salt Lake City on the way to MVP honors. This year’s All-Star Game goes back to the traditional East-vs.-West format, which was utilized in the first 66 NBA midseason classics.

HOUSTON (AP) — Dusty Baker has retired as manager of the Houston Astros, ending an illustrious 26-year career as a big league skipper highlighted by a World Series win last season. “I’m very grateful and thankful to (owner) Jim Crane and the Houston Astros for giving me this opportunity, and to win a championship,’’ Baker told the newspaper. The Astros have scheduled a news conference for Thursday morning that Baker, Crane and general manager Dana Brown are set to attend. He played with Hank Aaron in Atlanta and won a World Series with the Dodgers in 1981. Baker made two World Series trips before winning it all with Houston last season.

☆ Cubs aim to shake off stunning loss to Braves
  + stars: | 2023-09-27 | by ( Field Level Media | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
The Cubs squandered a six-run lead and lost 7-6 when right fielder Seiya Suzuki whiffed on a fly ball in the eighth inning. He hit a two-run triple in the loss and is hitting .364 (51-for-140) over his past 37 games. Taillon has not faced the Braves this season. Atlanta is six homers short of tying the major league record set by the 2019 Minnesota Twins. That leaves him one short of matching the modern-era franchise record (since 1900) set by Eddie Mathews in 1953.

The homer by Rooker, his 29th of the season, was the sixth in his past nine games as Oakland broke an eight-game losing streak on Friday. A's manager Mark Kotsay knew it was gone when he saw his powerful outfielder take his eye off the flight of the ball almost immediately. He'll look up at the board and check out exit velo to make sure it's going to be a homer. Tigers manager A.J. The same is true for A's prospect Joe Boyle (0-0, 0.00 ERA), whose first major league outing was a rousing success on Sunday against the visiting San Diego Padres.

"I thought Matt would be the guy to break the record,” Jones said last weekend in Atlanta when his number was retired. Olson hit a solo shot in Atlanta's 7-6 win over the Phillies in 10 innings on Tuesday, tying the team record Jones set in 2005. Olson was raised in the Atlanta area and grew up a fan of Jones and the Braves. Olson hit two homers a night earlier against the Phillies, and the milestone 50th had to be retrieved from a fan. Olson, who also has a 10-game hitting streak, entered the game on pace for 56 homers and 143 RBIs.

☆ No U.S.-born Black players expected on World Series rosters

The Houston Astros celebrate winning the American League Championship Series to advance to the World Series at Yankee Stadium on Oct. 23. In 1979 alone, Willie Stargell and Dave Parker were among 10 Black players on the “We Are Family” Pittsburgh Pirates champions. “It’s been a story that’s been ongoing since the late 1980s, the decline of Black baseball players,” he said. Hall wasn’t on the Phillies’ roster for any of the first three rounds this postseason and isn’t expected to be on the World Series roster. Many Afro Latino players embrace Black identity, yet perhaps not for the same reasons that Black U.S. players do.
