New York Yankees Hall of Fame closer Mariano Rivera and his wife, Clara, have been named in a lawsuit that alleges they covered up the sexual abuse of a minor — at a summer camp and their home. In a lawsuit filed on Jan.

After retiring from the MLB, Rivera became the lead pastor of the Refuge of Hope Church, where his wife is said to be in charge of the day-to-day operations.

Ichiro Suzuki was voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame on Tuesday, but was one vote shy of being unanimous. This questions the integrity of the voting process.

Other bits of intrigue ahead of Tuesday's 6 p.m. announcement: Will CC Sabathia be a first-ballot Hall of Famer, and is this the year Billy Wagner gets in?

CC Sabathia officially became the latest longtime Yankee to reach the Baseball Hall of Fame when the voting by the Baseball Writers Association of America was announced Tuesday night, sending Sabathia to Cooperstown along with Ichiro Suzuki and former Mets reliever Billy Wagner.

Call to the Hall, pond hockey, Novak's shot at history, NBA midseason grades, wild Bills-Chiefs stat, and more.

CC Sabathia has made it clear he wants to go into the Baseball Hall of Fame as a New York Yankee, calling the organization his home. He was welcomed to baseball’s most prestigious club by his former teammate Derek Jeter and joins another in Mariano Rivera. There is no shortage of Yankees in Cooperstown.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Ichiro was never a very powerful hitter, knocking just 117 home runs in his 19 MLB seasons. But he was elite at hitting for average, recording at least 200 hits in 10 different seasons. With that being said, can you name every player to achieve this feat at least four times in MLB history?

NEW YORK — Yankees Hall of Fame closer Mariano Rivera and his wife, Clara, are accused of covering up the sexual abuse of a minor at their church and in their home, according to a lawsuit filed in New York.

It’s time once again for Baseball Hall of Fame voting to be revealed, and it seems like it’s a lock — and deservedly so — that Ichiro Suzuki will be headed to Cooperstown. But will he be written in to every ballot by all the voting members of the BBWAA? On paper, he absolutely should be a no-doubt, first-ballot, unanimous selection.

The bar has been set outrageously high. When it comes to the New York Yankees, being a closer means being compared to the best closer in the game's history: Mariano Rivera. So Devin Williams will come into the Bronx and be well aware of the expectations when he takes the ball to close out games for the Yankees.

A leadoff hitter, an ace starter and a lockdown closer walk into a Hall … It’s no joke. The National Baseball Hall of Fame’s Class of 2025 is complete after Ichiro Suzuki, CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner
