For three nights, West Sacramento became the center of the baseball world. Shohei Ohtani, the @Dodgers and three sold-out crowds created a series Sacramento won't soon forget. (By @MartArchives) comstocksmag.com/web-only/oh…
It's on! The MoonPay @XGames have arrived in Sacramento at Cal Expo tonight through Sunday, in the 1st stop of the new league format featuring some of the top names in BMX, skateboarding, and motocross. @comstocksmag
What a fun story. A great tradition returns!
The "Great Folsom Snail Race" was one of the city's most famous annual events before it ended in 2001. Last week, it returned in honor of the @CityofFolsom's 80th anniversary. (By @MartArchives)

When Blue Jays manager John Schneider returned to his office last week, an envelope awaited him.
A letter had come from Warriors head coach Steve Kerr.
“I don’t know you,” he wrote, “but I felt compelled to reach out after watching your incredible leadership on display during the World Series.
Top seed UCLA hits the practice floor Thurs at Golden 1 Center before its 4:30 pm tilt Friday against Minnesota in @MarchMadnessWBB. South Carolina-Oklahoma, TCU- Virginia, and Duke -LSU round out the field. Two teams will advance Monday to the Final 4 in Phoenix.@comstocksmag

When it comes to big waves, there’s nothing in the continental U.S. that compares to Mavericks surf break, and it’s only about a two-hour drive from Sacramento. (By @MartArchives)

SRFC’s friendly Saturday with the SJ Earthquakes II at Heart Health Park gave fans the chance to see some dynamic new 2026 additions — Mayele Malango (7) who scored 3 goals, and MLS vets, Mark Anthony-Kaye (18) and Memo Rodriguez. Opener March 7! @SacRepublicFC @comstocksmag
Sadly, Bill Wagman, lead of this 2018 story I did for Comstock’s on house concerts, has passed away. What a fantastic legacy he left in his beloved Davis and beyond. @comstocksmag

The Sacramento State Hornets may have a losing record under first-year coach Mike Bibby, but are playing well at their new on-campus home.
After 70 years at "The Nest," one of the smallest Division I sports facilities in the country, @SacHornetsMBB has moved to a new $10 million facility. Step inside to see what's changed and what's still in the works at @SacState. (By @MartArchives)

I always look forward to Comstock's Magazine's most-read stories of the year feature. I was happy to see I made the list for both the top print stories, No. 7, on the National Hotel in Jackson, and for web, No. 3, on my A's season wrap up piece.

I managed to catch Blake Snell, Tyler Glasnow and Emmet Sheehan (who tossed six perfect innings) during rehab assignments at Sacramento's @OfficialSHPark this summer. All three pitched in the 7th Game of the World Series last night. @RiverCats
After Thursday's tearful farewell, @SacRepublicFC legend/captain @Lopez_Roro, the team's first signing in 2013, plays his last regular season game 7 pm tonight @HeartHealthPark. Fans will have at least another chance to see him at the home playoff game Nov. 2. @comstocksmag
I was surprised to find that if you Google “beach towns close to Sacramento” @Pacifica doesn’t come up but it’s been our favorite for a long time! In the August issue of @comstocksmag
One of the closest beach towns to Sacramento features hiking trails, scenic overlooks, a popular surfing spot and a very special Taco Bell. (By Steve Martarano)

Been wanting to do this story for a long time but the opportunity finally came with Comstock’s The Last Word column in the Sept issue. Was a ton of fun to put together! @comstocksmag

Sweet return. In 2014, Roseville’s Andrew Susac played at Raley Field, ending the season in S.F., earning a WS ring when SF won it all. Last night, 11 years later, younger brother Daniel, the A’s No. 1 pick in 2022 , made his 1st pro appearance before local fans. @comstocksmag
wow, Emmet Sheehan was absolute perfection today here in Sacramento: 6 IP, 0 ER, 0 H, 0 BB 13 K, 20 whiffs, 73 pitches. Unhittable. Plus we got to see hometown boy James Outman go deep. @noahcamras @azfreedman @BlakeHHarris
Visited the Comstock’s office on Wednesday to record a podcast and caught the poster blowup of my April cover. It was quite the thrill! @comstocksmag
When I first arrived at The Sacramento Union in the late 1970s, one of my beats was covering the minor leagues. But there were no professional baseball teams here! Now we have two, including the transplanted Oakland Athletics. Who would have thunk it?
What's it like to cover the A's arrival in West Sac after more than 4 decades following Sacramento baseball as a reporter and fan? "There came a moment for me when I realized, 'They’re playing Major League Baseball in Sacramento!'" writes @MartArchives.
