Most of the time when I meet someone and they find out I work in the Star-Advertiser sports department, the response is the same: “Oh, wow, so you get to go to all the games!”

Mililani graduate Dillon Gabriel has not had the most promising start to his NFL career, but anyone saying we’ve seen enough of the young quarterback to be certain about his future after six starts is ignorant of recent NFL history.

One of the great things about golf is that it is many great things.

What started out as a sleepy Sunday in the sports world was quickly turned topsy-turvy by two trades that shook up four fan bases.

Statistics of players with Hawaii ties in professional baseball through Friday’s games. Players who are on the injured or suspended list and whose stats have not changed since last week are not listed.:

The Hawaii Baseball Report made its 2025 debut in Sunday’s Sports section, keeping readers up to date on professional baseball players with Hawaii ties. Coming out of spring training, there is always plenty of news on player movement, whether between franchises or levels.

My first memory of watching sports is from the 1979 MLB All-Star Game, and in what would prove to be an omen of my first 24 years as a Boston Red Sox fan, it was a bad one.

In these days of limitless demand for content, with broadcast hours and YouTube channels overstuffed with “analysis” (read: arguing) of various levels of quality, overreaction has become the norm in both the NFL and college football.

I’ve written in this space about how much I enjoy researching and writing the Hawaii Baseball Report that appears in these pages each Sunday during baseball season.

Is there just not enough to get outraged about in the world now?
