Playing in Toronto for the first time since picking the Dodgers over the Blue Jays in free agency, Shohei Ohtani is loudly booed before hitting a home run.
R. Allen Stanford is among the most brazen white-collar criminals — and he's paying dearly for it. The former financier is in the 14th year of a 110-year prison sentence after being convicted in 2012 for selling $7 billion in fraudulent certificates of deposits in the Caribbean island of Antigua. He also was required to pay a judgment of $5.9 billion, much of which was intended to go to victims of his crimes. Among those affected by his elaborate Ponzi scheme were seven Major League Baseball...
The Houston Texans dropped a new alternative logo on Thursday, and it was met with immediate criticism. The design represented a major shift from the bull typically seen on the headgear of team members. Instead, an “H” took its place, though the lettering might not have been as sleek as the franchise had hoped. To […]

On a recent afternoon, sneakered tourists streamed out of the various hotels located along a quiet stretch of Jamaica, Queens. The Radisson, a Hampton Inn, a Residence Inn by Marriott, and erstwhile JFK Hilton, just a stone's throw from JFK Airport, represent the future of affordable housing in the city, as well as what is perhaps a missed opportunity. Months of interior demolition work is concluding at the 350-room Hilton property on 135th Avenue, just east of the Van Wyck Expressway. A...
