Baseball and beer have a long history together, and if you're a New York Mets fan and remember the days of Shea Stadium, you probably saw (or drank) plenty of Rheingold Beer. Rheingold was also a sponsor of many televised games, and we found a vintage TV commercial featuring the voice of the Mets for many years, Bob Murphy.

Michael Pineda's first start in the Bronx came more than two years after he was acquired by the Yankees but it resulted in his first win with the team, a 4-1 triumph over the rival Red Sox in the first game of four.

Ever since the Abner Doubleday invented the game, baseball and beer have been intertwined. The beer concession stands, the beer guy at the stadium and beer TV commercials. When I was a kid, I remember watching those Ballantine Beer commercials voiced by legendary New York Yankees announcer, Mel Allen.

If you're a Yankee fan, this is the moment you've been waiting for. The Yankees open their season tonight on the road when they take on the Houston Astros. Here's more about tonight's game.

For the first time in franchise history, the New York Mets enter a season without Ralph Kiner is some way, shape or form.

If you're a baseball fan, today is an exciting day. It's opening day in Major League Baseball, with the Mets home opener this afternoon, and the Yankees starting tomorrow!

Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack...and a three-pound ice cream sundae.

A sure sign of springs is when "The Boys Of Summer" are back in action. And the 2014 Major League Baseball season is underway (sort of). If you're a baseball fan, you know that the L.A. Dodgers swept two regular season games  over the Arizona Diamondbacks in Australia. Now the wait is on for the start of the season back in the USA.

Even though central New York is in the midst of winter, Major League Baseball spring training is underway, and that's a good sign of warmer days ahead. Tourists visiting these spring training sites and attending exhibition games has become big business. Here are the details.
