After nearly five decades, “A Chorus Line” continues to be a fresh, stimulating experience when we’re lucky enough to encounter it live. This remains the ideal show and tell, a seamless, absorbing combination of visceral, exuberant choreography with a storyline delving into what makes dancers tick. In 1975, “A Chorus Line” was a bit like…

Rising from Inland Empire dairy lands, a box-like building with a trademark “Alexa Blue” stripe around its top soon will become the largest warehouse in Amazon’s logistics network. At almost 4.1 million square feet, the five-story, 97-foot-tall behemoth now taking shape in southwestern Ontario will have more space than any other Amazon warehouse not just…

With Adley Rutschman’s arrival with the Orioles — albeit a tepid one to start — the wait for Baltimore’s top prospect is over. But there are other options waiting in the wings, with a debut potentially soon for one in particular. As right-hander Grayson Rodriguez continues to blow through Triple-A lineups while rising to become…

More than a dozen men gathered for a banquet at Baltimore’s Belvedere Hotel in March 1914, and though they were set to embark into challenging, uncharted territory, they were brash and confident. The men were the stakeholders of the new Federal League — a rival to the established American and National Leagues — and every…

One teenager was arrested and a second suspect was at large late Monday, May 30, after the pair led Brea police on a high-speed freeway chase that ended in Riverside County. Shortly before 6 p.m., Brea police responded to calls from neighbors who spotted a couple of strangers behaving suspiciously at a home near Lambert…

Chris Bassitt’s early career as a Mets starter has not gone unnoticed. It’s had its highs, like the four wins and one no decision he picked up in which he did not allow more than one run to score on his watch in those games. It’s had some tough lows, like the two losses plus…

Brandon Nimmo was held out of the Mets’ starting lineup for the third straight day on Monday.

The former first-round pick’s agent, Brian Overstreet, confirmed Gladney’s death to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. “We are asking prayers for the family and privacy at this most difficult time,” Overstreet said in a statement. A 26-year-old female passenger…

In the past year, many artists got de-platformed, fired or canceled on social media because of the content of their work. Dave Chappelle, John Cleese, Gina Carano are some of the names that come to mind. Most recently, Ricky Gervais’ new Netflix special has stirred up a swift backlash over his use of shock humor…

The Chicago Cubs waited as long as they could for Seiya Suzuki to recover from his sprained left ring finger. However, Suzuki did not check out great after Monday morning’s pregame work, and the Cubs opted to put him on the 10-day injured list. The move, made between games in Monday’s doubleheader against the Milwaukee…

The bullpen had begun to move between innings, relievers milling about to stretch or throw weighted balls against the padded wall. But none stood on the mound to warm up in earnest, even though right-hander Tyler Wells had thrown 75 pitches, four shy of his career high, through five innings. The Orioles (21-29) have been…

If you were writing a how-to manual on coming back from a three-run, first-inning deficit, scoring 12 unanswered runs would be a strong start. The Mets were down by three before they even had a chance to bat on Monday night. Then they got two runs back in the bottom of the first, added four…

Two years ago, right-hander Matt Swarmer tried to stay ready during the uncertainty of a minor-league season canceled because of the pandemic. His 2020 game action came from an unlikely source — an adult recreational league with players ranging from 18 to 40 years old. “I was facing guys that almost didn’t have hair,” Swarmer…
