Sandy Alomar Sr. -- the father of ex-MLB stars Roberto Alomar and Sandy Alomar Jr. -- has passed away at 81 years old.

The league confirmed the news on Monday ... after a local outlet in Puerto Rico reported the former California Angels star suffered a medical incident just a week prior to his 82nd birthday.

Alomar Sr. spent 15 years playing in the big leagues ... suiting up for six different teams. He finished his career with a .245 average, 13 home runs and 282 RBIs. While he didn't have much pop, Alomar Sr. was a threat on the basepath, stealing 227 bases during his career.

The Dodgers are still a few wins away from a World Series title, but they sure partied like they had just won the whole shebang on Thursday night ... celebrating their NLDS win with a wild beer and champagne party.

Just minutes after L.A. beat the Phillies on a walk-off error at Dodger Stadium ... they hit their locker room to delete a bunch of bottles of Budweiser and bubbly.

The guys sprayed the booze in epic fashion -- dousing one another for several minutes.

Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet's date night in the Bronx ended in heartbreak -- the couple watched the New York Yankees lose to their AL East rivals in the playoffs, ending the Yanks' season ... and the couple looked crushed!

The celeb couple was front and center for Game 4 of the Blue Jays and Yankees ALDS game, sitting not too far from where Bad Bunny sat the night before.

Chalamet -- a proud New York sports fan -- was super lit on the Yankees jumbotron during the ballgame, throwing up five fingers, saying "Yanks in 5" ... but it didn't age well.

Start spreading the news, the Toronto Blue Jays are on to the ALCS after defeating the New York Yankees Wednesday night in the Bronx ... and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and his teammates let it all out during their celebration, trolling their division rivals!

The team from up north popped the champagne bottles at Yankee Stadium not long after the 5-2 victory, and Guerrero Jr. was loving the fact that he sent Aaron Judge and the rest of the Yankees home for the winter.

Speaking with David Ortiz during the postgame show, Vlad let out Big Papi's iconic "Da Yankees lose" catchphrase multiple times ... much to the chagrin of Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez.

Bad Bunny raised eyebrows at the New York Yankees game Tuesday night ... choosing not to stand during the singing of "God Bless America."

During the 7th inning stretch, the crowd mostly stood and sang during the rendition of "God Bless America." In a live photo obtained by TMZ, you hear the crowd singing "guide her" ... as in the verse "stand beside her and guide her," which is toward the beginning of the song.

The Grammy winner was snapped taking in the game alongside friends during the Bronx Bombers' 9-6 rout of the Toronto Blue Jays.

Give Yankee Stadium security a tryout with the New York Giants ... 'cause staffers perfectly executed open field tackles on two fans who stormed the ALDS!!

The chaos occurred in the fourth inning of Game 3 between the Blue Jays and Yankees -- right when Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was at the plate.

The first fan, who seems to be holding an Aaron Judge jersey, rushed the outfield ... only to get leveled by a security guard who charged all the way from first base.

Everyone's talkin' about Bad Bunny performing at next year's Super Bowl ... but the artist made a cameo at Tuesday night's New York Yankees game -- and got a little souvenir.

Bunny and his buddies took a trip to The Bronx for Game 3 of the American League Divisional Round matchup between the Yankees and the Toronto Blue Jays -- and the popular Puerto Rican singer snagged a foul ball!

Here's the wind-up ... Blue Jays outfielder Anthony Santander was at the plate during the third inning when he hit a ball thrown by Yankees pitcher Carlos Rodon into the stands.

Cam Schlittler just got some huge praise from David Ortiz ... who shoveled the "ace" label on the Yankees rookie following his incredible game on Thursday night.

Just hours after the New York hurler went eight innings of shutout ball in a do-or-die win over the Red Sox, Ortiz fired off compliment after compliment after compliment on the right-hander.

Big Papi -- who had just gotten off a flight at LAX -- told us he's already seen enough from the flamethrower to dub him a front-of-the-rotation guy.

Joba Chamberlain thoroughly enjoyed what Cam Schlittler did both on and off the mound on Thursday night ... telling TMZ Sports he loved the way the Yankees pitcher trolled fans after mowing down the Red Sox lineup.

If you missed it, just after Schlittler twirled an eight-inning, 12-strikeout gem against Boston in a Wild Card series do-or-die victory, he took to X to talk some smack.

First, he jabbed at a stunning Boston supporter ... before he bragged about "drinking dat dirty water."

New York Yankees pitcher Cam Schlittler was a menace to everyone in Boston red on Thursday night ... not only did he dominate the Sox in a Wild Card elimination game, he later trolled one of the team's most stunning fans.

The Yanks rookie hit the comment section of Red Sox fan Lucy Burdge's viral X post after mowing down the Red Sox in the do-or-die tilt at Yankee Stadium ... and he dropped a trolling line.

While Burdge wrote "Sox in 3" ahead of first pitch of the big game ... Schlittler responded, "Not this year."

New York Yankees star Jazz Chisholm was not in the best of moods Tuesday night after being left out of the lineup in Game 1 of the AL Wild Card Series ... but the secret medicine to get out of that funk?? Beating the crap out of someone in "MLB: The Show!!!"

Chisholm shared his remedy following the Yanks' 4-3 win in Game 2 ... which sets up a winner-takes-all scenario for Thursday.

Jazz -- who crossed the plate as the go-ahead run in the 8th inning -- was asked how he got over the disappointment of Tuesday's loss ... and he said all it took was firing up the console.

Paul Skenes appears to be on track to win the Cy Young AND Boyfriend of the Year honors this season ... as Livvy Dunne just revealed her MLB star BF showered her in gifts for her birthday.

The former LSU gymnast showed on her Instagram page on Wednesday that the Pittsburgh Pirates ace went all out for her 23rd ... throwing her a bash that featured balloons, cake and flowers.

There was also a sign on the wall that read "It is your birthday" -- an apparent reference to "The Office" -- and Livvy showed that some of the balloons even had real cotton candy buried inside of them.

Yankees star Jazz Chisholm wasn't hiding his frustrations after his name was left out of the starting nine for New York's AL Wild Card opener -- turning his back to reporters when he was asked about the move during his postgame media session.

Yanks manager Aaron Boone had fans scratching their heads after the 27-year-old wasn't slotted in at second base during their Game 1 loss to the Boston Red Sox ... with Amed Rosario getting the nod against lefty Garrett Crochet.

When asked if he was surprised by the decision ... Chisholm said, "I guess yeah," as he rummaged through his locker.

The Reds got pounded by the Dodgers in their playoff opener Tuesday night, but a swath of Cincinnati fans certainly seemed more concerned about Rob Lowe's behavior in the stands than the players' performance on the field.

The actor drew the ire of Ohioans everywhere after cameras caught him openly cheering against the Reds during Tommy Edman's third-inning home run.

Lowe -- wearing a 2024 World Series Champion L.A. hat -- was seen going crazy over the big swing ... and after the visuals made their way online, Reds backers were outraged.

50 Cent has redeemed himself after his infamous 2014 first pitch at a baseball game ... by re-doing the throw at the mound at a Savannah Bananas baseball game while debuting a drink in the team's honor.

The New York rapper got his do-over over the weekend when he pulled up to the sold-out Bananas game at Daikin Park in Houston, Texas, performing his iconic single, "In Da Club."

After gettin' the crowd lit, 50 Cent threw the first pitch to kick off their game against the Texas Tailgaters ... and this time, it actually looked like he knew what he was doing.

Jimmy Rollins says the MLB should "never" adopt full-time robot umps ... telling TMZ Sports this week the Automated Ball-Strike Challenge System is as far as the league should take things.

We caught up with the former Philadelphia Phillies superstar out at LAX last week just after Rob Manfred revealed the ABS Challenge System will be implemented in 2026, and he told us he really likes the move.

The ex-World Series champ said "it's a good thing," as it'll help umps get calls right when they matter the most.
