In 1890, on Labor Day at Washington Park, Brooklyn won three games against Pittsburgh in the first tripleheader ever played… the Bridegrooms beat the visiting Alleghenys, 10-9, 3-2 and 8-4. 1906 In the longest game in American League history, the Philadelphia beat the Red Sox in 24 innings, 4-1… both starters went the distance as A’s hurler Jack Coombs bested ...

I spent a good portion of the Labor Day afternoon taking my daughter Madeline to the Farmers' Museum. But before we ventured into the land of carousels and barnyard animals, I tucked Madeline away with mother Sue at CVS, giving me a chance to visit a local card show. Every year, a dealer visits the area and spends the better part of a month staging an extended show at the local VFW. He's a ...

Since this is Labor Day Weekend I'm going to ask Blazer Nation to dig into its collective memory and experience in celebration of those who labor.  What I'd like to do with this post is compile a list of guys whom you consider the hardest workers in team history.  These can be stars or completely obscure players that only you remember.  This is the weekend we celebrate the ...

Sunday night marks the final Labor Day race at California, er sorry Auto Club Speedway. It caps an illustrious, rich, five year history. Next year Atlanta will get the Labor Day weekend event, which is not the Southern 500, but is at least a compromise for hard core traditionalists. The race has featured blistering heat, [...]

Happy Labor day. I’ll be back at 12:30.

That's right. Summer is officially over. Labor Day is here. I'm sure that this day is bittersweet for many of you who live in the northern regions of this great country, but its never held that feeling for me. Here in Florida, the warm weather lasts another month or two and school's been back in session for a couple of weeks now. Around here, Labor Day is just an excuse to take Monday off, go ...

…during which I will celebrate the working man by spending my day at the Bohemian Beer Gardens . If you don’t think the Dodgers are part of what’s making me tip one back today, you haven’t been watching the team lately. Who gets swept in Washington, comes in on an eight-game losing streak… and then takes down two of the best pitchers in baseball on back-to-back ...

Some grilling tips for your Labor Day eats. We'll be back tomorrow with whatever we think of. Enjoy.

Seeing how today is a holiday I feel as though it is a good time to take a day off here (yeah I know I took the weekend off as well). I will be back tomorrow to catch up on things, believe me I have plenty to catch us up on here too. What’s coming up tomorrow: MLS Weekend Recaps WVH Weekly Awards WVH Monthly Awards for August WVH Power Rankings Yanks Abroad Recap Other News and ...

Not much in the news today, but let's take a break from the Slow News Day Cheerleader Of The Day. Labor Day Weekend is almost upon us, and that means kids are going back to school, football is about to end the abysmal sports summer (baseball fans...even you are unable to watch baseball games on television more than twice a week for risk of losing your own sanity to boredom), and we get to ...

With Labor Day coming up this weekend, we’re taking a road trip to recharge our batteries for a few days. Until Tuesday of next week, I’ll be off as I’m headed to Prince Edward Island Canada to go camping with my wife. It should be a fun trip, and we’ll be back ready to go for the start of the season. We’ll try not and come back ending our sentences in ...
