Heading into the MLB All-Star break, the Boston Red Sox have reclaimed top spot in the TSN. cheap jerseys .ca MLB Power Rankings, returning after a two-week absence. Its not as though Boston doesnt have problems. With Jon Lester going on the DL, they are missing three-fifths of their Opening Day starting rotation, but theyre also the highest-scoring team in baseball and leading the best division in baseball, so theres enough going right for the Red Sox to return to the top of the list. What helps the Red Sox jump, in addition to winning 10 of their last 11 games, is that the Yankees lost Alex Rodriguez for the next four-to-six weeks with a torn meniscus. Even if hes not the A-Rod of old, hes a formidable bat in the middle of the lineup that will now be replaced by rookie Eduardo Nunez. While Nunez did some fine work filling in for Derek Jeter recently, hes not going to provide typical corner infield power. As a result, the Yankees dropped from first to third this week. The biggest moves up happened in Pittsburgh, where the Pirates have climbed from 19 to 13, after winning 12 of their last 18 games. Similarly, Cleveland moved up from 18 to 14, not so much on the strength of recent play, but by getting first baseman Matt LaPorta back in the lineup and adding rookie third baseman Lonnie Chisenhall, the Tribe should have a more formidable lineup. Florida also gained ground, from 26 to 21, emerging from their disastrous June swoon, winning the last five games. Cincinnati, with one nine-inning win this month, has fallen from 11 to 15 and Colorado has dropped six of eight, falling from 14 to 20 while the Cubs and Orioles plummeted to the lower depths of the rankings.

NEW ORLEANS -- David Stern is going from the NBA commissioners office to the Hall of Fame. The recently retired Stern was elected Friday to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and will be enshrined with the class of 2014 on Aug. 8 in Springfield, Mass. Stern was on a ski trip to Colorado on Friday with his wife while the NBA was holding its first All-Star weekend without him in charge since 1983. New Commissioner Adam Silver and many other league employees who worked under Stern attended the press conference. "I wanted to be here for David because I knew he wasnt in New Orleans this weekend. Just to be here to share the experience and then relay it back to him what the feel in the room was," said Silver, who worked under Stern since 1992. "As I said earlier, while David is a modest guy, I know he was moved by the fact this was all happening so quickly, and he has always told me he doesnt like to reflect back sort of on his life or his career, but this will certainly force him to. And I know this is an emotional moment for him and its an emotional moment for everybody who has worked with him over these years." Alonzo Mourning, Tim Hardaway, Mitch Richmond, Kevin Johnson and Spencer Haywood are hoping to be part of the class. wholesale jerseys. They were chosen as finalists, with the full class to be unveiled April 7 during the NCAA Final Four. Hardaway and Richmond were teammates in Golden State and made up the Warriors "Run TMC" trio along with Chris Mullin, who was elected to the Hall in 2011. Stern retired on Feb. 1 after exactly 30 years as commissioner, during which he brought the league to its greatest success. Jerry Colangelo, chairman of the Hall of Fame board, said the Hall hopes to have a special spot to display a tribute to Stern. "He deserves to be recognized in a huge way," Colangelo said. Stern was elected by the contributors committee. Also directly elected to the Hall of Fame were Lithuania star Sarunas Marciulionis by the international committee, former Indiana Pacers coach Bob "Slick" Leonard by the ABA committee, former New York Knicks player Nat "Sweetwater" Clifton by the early African-American pioneers committee, and former Temple star Guy Rodgers by the veterans committee. College coaches Eddie Sutton, Nolan Richardson and Gary Williams were also finalists, as were former womens coach Harley Redin and the womens team from Immaculata College, which won three straight national championships.
