You'll see other books written about @UConnMBB, but I promise none will give a more comprehensive look at the Dan Hurley years, particularly the 2 national title seasons and chase for a 3rd. Was there for it all! Really proud of this one! Pre-order now: amazon.com/Hurleys-Heroes…
The kid from Darien started the game and won it. The kid from Westport closed it out. It was essentially Connecticut Day on Friday at Fenway. “Priceless.” @UConnBSB @StaplesAD @BCBirdBall @dodgers ctinsider.com/sports/article…
Gotta love it when a plan comes together. Went to Fenway to do a story on CT @Dodgers Emmet Sheehan or Ben Casparius. Sheehan gets win, Casparius gets his first @mlb save. “It's really cool, definitely a dream come true for both of us, for sure.” ctinsider.com/sports/article…
Greetings from Fenway, where CT’s Emmet Sheehan gets start for Dodgers.

Charlie Pagliarini holds program home run records at @Stags_Base, @CadetSjBaseball. His latest homer heroics? A walk-off grand slam for High-A @EverettAquaSox. @Mariners ctinsider.com/sports/article…
For those who’ve asked, the first number next to each name is field goals, and then free throws made, and attempted. The latter might be a little bit off, since one free-throw counted for two points.

Eric Reibe has been dealing with a foot injury since returning from U19's in Switzerland, but should be back practicing next week.
Heading to Storrs for the first time in a minute to check out UConn's open practice. Interested to see what 2025-26 Huskies will look like. (Pssst ... I think they're going to be really good)

Nick Ahmed has announced his retirement after 12 years spent with the D-backs, Giants, Dodgers, Padres and Rangers. He won back-to-back NL Gold Gloves at shortstop in 2018 and 2019.
Dan Hurley embraces the new, fiery rivalry between UConn and St. John's. "I think it's great for college basketball to get eyeballs." But Rick Pitino doesn't see it. "It's no more of a rivalry than Creighton, Marquette, Villanova or Providence." ctinsider.com/sports/uconn-m…
