The pitch he tossed to Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Patrick Corbin may have only traveled at a speed of 35 MPH, according to ... Read More »

BY: ED COLE GLENDALE, Ariz. – It’s amazing to think that once the Atlanta Braves’ stadium – Turner Field – closes its doors after the 2016 season, the home of the Arizona Diamondbacks – Chase Field – will be the fourth oldest stadium in the National League. It’s a magnificent structure, but like any 18-year-old building, it has to be ... Read More »
