Among the 25 World Series champions since 2000, how did the 2009 Yankees land in this spot? From the point of view of the Yankees, 2009 was a long time coming. New York had last won a World Series in 2000, and had lost in both 2001 and 2003 — there was also that whole letting the Red Sox come back from down 3-0 in the 2004 American League Championship Series thing to contend with. For most teams, a nine-year wait isn’t significant, especially not for a franchise that was constantly in the thick of things in the intervening years. For the…

Fiona Goddard and Ellie Reynolds, two prominent survivors, resigned from the panel over the last 48 hours, expressing concerns about how the process was being handled.A third, who goes by the name of Elizabeth – which is not her real name – followed this…
NEW YORK — NEW YORK (AP) — Less than 24 hours after becoming the first NFL team in more than two decades to blow an 18-point lead or bigger in the final 6 minutes of a game and lose, the New York Giants are trying desperately to put the epic collapse behind them and turn the page.That’s easier said than done, and plenty of questions remain about decisions made by players and coaches on either side of the ball.“There are certainly a lot of guys that are hurting right now, some physically,” coach Brian Daboll said Monday on a video…

Among the 25 World Series champions since 2000, how did the 2022 Astros land in this spot? The Astros were an extraordinary story of … well, worst to first doesn’t begin to cover it, considering the depths of their struggles at the start of the decade. The reputation of that team was marred somewhat by the sign-stealing scandal that rocked MLB in 2020 — the Astros’ organization was punished, and multiple executives lost their jobs. The 2022 season, then, was something of a redemption story for the club: some familiar faces from 2017 were still on the roster, yes, like Jose…

Among the 25 World Series champions since 2000, how did the 2016 Cubs land in this spot? The 2016 Cubs don’t get any extra credit in the rankings for snapping a 108-year championship drought, but look at that roster and that season: they don’t need any extra credit, anyway. Third baseman Kris Bryant was the National League MVP, and a deserving one, too, as he led the senior circuit in wins above replacement while swatting 39 homers. Anthony Rizzo could have been the star player on a number of other clubs, but he was “merely” the second-best player in the Cubs…
