415. MLB Researcher/Reporter Sarah Langs

Sarah Langs is currently a research/reporter for MLB.COM. She has also been featured on MLB Network and countless other game broadcasts. She began her career in 2015 as a researcher for ESPN. An avid baseball fan, she is known for demonstrating that “Baseball is the Best.” Her belief is that the people that make up the sport, from players to coaches to scouts to media members make the sport the best there is. She hosts a weekly podcast with her friend and MLB colleague Mandy Bell and continues to promote the game through her powerful social media.

In 2021, she was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, a terminal illness that affects the brain’s ability to control her muscles, which atrophy. The people around the sport have rallied around her, and on the anniversary of Lou Gehrig’s famous “Luckiest Man on the Face of the Earth” speech, Sarah and her family were honored at Yankee Stadium.

Sarah is selling “Baseball is the Best” T-Shirts and other memorabilia at this link bit.ly/FistBumps4ALS. She encourages people to post pictures from baseball games with the shirt or without using the hashtag #FistBumps4ALS.
