Although school maintenance staff normally perform routine maintenance on school athletic facilities including fields and floors, traditionally the baseball team undertakes the upkeep of the ballpark surface.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - The Los Angeles Rams are opening a lavish new stadium with no fans in it next month. That might not even be the weirdest thing they'll experience in this utterly unique NFL season. A year that was already unprecedented because of the coronavirus pandemic got even stranger when the Rams added the omnipresent cameras of HBO's "Hard Knocks" to their daily routines. That microscope has already led to some surreal moments, and others that might be better off...

TIM REYNOLDS AP Basketball Writer LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) - Devin Booker does not like the notion that the Phoenix Suns, whose playoff chances were beyond slim when the season was suspended, should simply be happy to be in the NBA's bubble. He sees it quite differently. "People can say we have a nothing-to-lose mentality," Booker said. "We don't look at it like that." Hard to argue. The Suns, like a lot of other teams out West, have much to play for right now. The best rac...

TIM REYNOLDS AP Basketball Writer LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — Black players were next to white players. Coaches from one team were next to their compatriots from the opposing side. Many locked arms with the man next to them, some shut their eyes tightly, a few including LeBron James briefly raising a fist into the air or pointing skyward. The NBA had a strong, powerful re-opening night message. When it comes to demanding change, the league stands united — and Thursday, the four teams that played on the first night of the le...
