Crunch Time

Babe Ruth's home for sale

Have an extra $1.65 million hanging around in the old wallet? If you do, you could own Babe Ruth's former Sudbury home.

The five-bedroom, 4-bedroom mansion, where Ruth lived from 1922 to 1926, features 5,124 square feet of living space.

Big Game Alert

The Gloucester baseball team has an extremely important game tonight as it travels to Fraser Field in Lynn to take on Lynn English for the second time this week.

Not only is Gloucester looking to avenge Monday's 2-1 loss at the had of the Bulldogs, they are looking to clinch a state tournament berth for the ninth straight season as Gloucester's current record is 9-4.

The Fishermen will be sending right hander Sean Gillon to the mound tonight.

On the Air

Gloucester baseball staff ace Jason Vizena will be appearing on North Shore 104.9's North Shore Sports Desk Saturday morning (8:00 a.m.) as this week's Cape Ann Savings Bank Student Athlete of the Week.

Vizena, a crafty south paw, has been stellar on the mound this season for Gloucester with four wins on the year. Currently Gloucester stands at 9-5, one win away from a state tournament berth.

Big cash for ACC

The Atlantic Coast Conference has inked a new deal with ESPN, which will pay its schools a total of $3.6 billion over a 15-year period. The deal gives each member school $17 million per year, which is $4 million more than the previous contract.
