Today is the first race in the Triple Crown series. It’s the Race for the Roses, the fastest 2 minutes in sports. So don your fanciest hat, mix yourself a mint julep, and pick your favorite pony. What horse do you have your money on?

I’m a third generation fan of the most storied team in Major League Baseball, the Yankees. We have no names on the backs of our jerseys, because there is no I in Team. Sure the salary of just one of our players dwarfs the payroll of the Kansas City Royals, but I can’t help loving [...]

I’m a Yankees fan, and another writer/editor here at Who Wants to Know, Donna, is a Red Sox fan. To you, dear friend, I say: Bring. It. On.

When I attended the show a few years ago in DC, the artists were even more varied: Good Charlotte opened for Mary J. Blige, [...]

Welcome to our new weekly series, the Gridiron Girl: football for the fairer sex. I was raised on baseball. With grandparents who all hail from right around the Bronx, there’s no question that I am a dyed in the wool, Freddy-Sez loving, Red Sox hating, Yankee fan. Football was fine, but growing up it felt [...]

My earliest memory of fantasy sports is of a bunch of friends in high school. It was a baseball rotisserie league, and it was no joke. These guys literally rented out a conference room in a local hotel for a whole weekend and held a draft. This was pre-internet, so you had to come prepared [...]
