Some Things Are More Important Than History

Associated media - Linked media He didn’t care that it was a no-hitter. He just wanted the Yankees to win. More than five hours after we arrived at Yankee Stadium, my 9-year-old son, Wes, had waited in line for an hour in a rainstorm, collected his coveted (replica) 1998 Yankees World Series ring, talked me into buying him a T-shirt, visited the Gluten Free Grill twice, mourned the season-ending injury to Jasson Domínguez, cheered Aaron Judge so loudly that his voice was getting hoarse and brushed off every single mention I made that Corbin Burnes, the starter for the Milwaukee…

USWNT’s loss to Mexico was a jarring reminder that the team’s mystique is gone

Related media - Related media For those who weren’t following along during the 2011 World Cup qualifying cycle — in which the U.S. lost to Mexico in the CONCACAF semifinals before Alex Morgan finally sent the U.S. through in a playoff series against Italy — matches against Mexico might have felt like a rivalry in name only. The U.S. women’s national team had not lost to Mexico since that moment in 2010, and hadn’t lost to any CONCACAF opponent at home since 2000. Monday night threw that narrative out the window. The USWNT was outplayed in a 2-0 loss in…

The tiny Brazilian club that fooled North Korea – ‘They would have been angry if we had won’

Connected media - Linked media Everyone seems to have a slightly different estimate of how many people were outside the stadium on that strange November afternoon, but the consensus is that it was a lot. As the bus crept through the crowd, the Brazilian footballers on board stared out of the windows. Locals — tens of thousands of them, on some accounts — flooded the streets. Most greeted the bus with diffident waves. A few ran alongside, hoping to catch a glimpse of someone they would not have recognised anyway. An hour later, those same footballers walked through a long…

Hope for women with infertility in New York: endometriosis and surrogacy as a solution

Endometriosis is a reproductive health issue that impacts a significant portion of the female population and has the potential to affect fertility. This condition is defined by the growth of endometrial-like tissue beyond the confines of the uterus, leading to the development of adhesions on adjacent organs and disrupting the functionality of the fallopian tubes, thereby complicating egg retrieval and, as a result, making conception challenging.Regrettably, this condition is more prevalent than commonly understood and can thwart aspirations for beginning a family through conventional means in New York.Thanks to advancements in modern medicine, a variety of options are now available;…

How Tim Flannery, the Giants Coach, Got Back to Writing Songs

Associated media - Related media As an old ballplayer, when the back pain attacked, he figured he would just play through it. “I took four Advil, drank a huge cocktail and usually I’d polish that off with a bottle of wine to kill the pain,” he said of his nightly regimen.

If not for that, Flannery said, he thinks he would have died right there.…
