Tigers spokesman Brian Britten said the Tigers learned of Harwell’s death from his agent.
Harwell, who called Detroit Tigers games for four-plus decades and was acquired by the Brooklyn Dodgers for a catcher, announced in September that he had been... |

CLEVELAND - LeBron James’ regular season could be over.
James was one of four starters missing for Friday’s game against the Indiana Pacers. With home-court advantage already clinched throughout the playoffs, coach Mike Brown didn’t rule out his healthy superstar also sitting against Orlando on Sunday and Atlanta on Wednesday.
“There’s a chance,” Brown said. “I talked about that with my staff and I talked about it a little bit with him, too. We’ll take that one game at a... |

AUGUSTA, Ga. - Tiger Woods has an ideal tee time for his return to golf at the Masters — at least as far as TV is concerned.
After weeks of speculation about his playing partners for the opening two rounds at Augusta National, the starting times released on Tuesday had more to do with “when” than “who.”
Woods is to tee off at 1:42 p.m., in the penultimate group for the second straight year. Barring any delays, his group likely will be on about the eighth hole when ESPN’s live... |

ASHBURN, Va. -- The quarterback holding the burgundy No. 5 Washington Redskins jersey was Donovan McNabb. From everything that was said, it might have been simpler to just go ahead and call him John Elway II.
The six-time Pro Bowl star was formally introduced Tuesday at Redskins Park. All things being equal, he would rather be preparing for a 12th season with the Philadelphia Eagles, but an Easter Sunday trade between NFC East rivals has opened what he called "a new chapter in the book of... |

SAN ANTONIO -- Every basket built their streak, every romp enriched their legacy.
From the first shot of the season, it seemed inevitable that Maya Moore, Tina Charles and the Connecticut Huskies would win the NCAA championship.
And so they did Tuesday night, rallying from a horrible first half to beat Stanford 53-47 for their 78th straight victory and stamping themselves as one of the most dominant teams ever -- in their sport or any other, men or women.

Florida- Well they were definitely not the underdogs in this one. Butler came up short losing in a last second thriller. A half-court shot was heaved up and almost went in, but it hit the back board and fell short. Butler played a hard fought game and was one point away from becoming the cinderella story. The Duke BlueDevils are the 2010 Mens NCAA Champions. |
