LOVERRO: Anything seems possible now with Daniels at quarterback

We are seeing a Washington Commanders quarterback do things that many have never seen before. Wait a minute. We are seeing Jayden Daniels do things that none of us have seen any quarterback in the NFL do in a lifetime. Published September 30, 2024

LOVERRO: Honoring the legacy of a hometown coach and the lives he changed

I went home last week. Not a typical visit home. I've done that before. This was a return to pay tribute to the long-time football coach at my high school -- even though I didn't play football and had not seen Ed Christian since the day I graduated from East Stroudsburg High School in 1971.

LOVERRO: Soto homecoming is a nice daydream with little chance of becoming reality

The public address announcer bellowed, "The future is now" at Nationals Park as Dylan Crews and his teammates took the field Monday night. I think Nationals fans would prefer if the future was yesterday, when Juan Soto would run to the outfield to say hello in a Washington uniform, not a New York Yankees jersey.

LOVERRO: Rizzo wheels and deals another winning draft for Nationals

After the New York Mets selected catcher Hobie Landrith with their first pick in the National League expansion draft, Manager Casey Stengel was asked why they made that choice. "You have to have a catcher because if you don't, you're likely to have a lot of passed balls," he said. Published July 16, 2024

LOVERRO: Gibson takes his rightful place among the all-time greats

Josh Gibson was a celebrated young athlete in Pittsburgh, where his family moved from Buena Vista, Va., when he was 12 years old. He was a catcher for a Black amateur team called Gimbels A.C. He later played for a semi-pro team called the Crawford Colored Giants. But the local team he wanted to play for, the high-profile Homestead Grays, had no place for him. They had a catcher, Buck Ewing. Published July 9, 2024
