Rancho Mirage, Calif. — Ralph Kiner, who slugged his way into the baseball Hall of Fame and enjoyed a half-century career as a popular broadcaster, died Thursday. He was 91. The Hall said Kiner died at his home in Rancho Mirage with his family at his side. Kiner hit 369 home runs during his 10-year career, mostly with the Pittsburgh Pirates. He made his debut in 1946, and his power quickly became the talk of baseball — he won or tied for the National League lead in homers in each of his first seven seasons. “Kiner’s Korner” was already a fixture on the New York Kiner Mets’ airways when he was inducted into the Hall in 1975. He was elected with just one vote to spare in his 15th and final year on the Baseball Writers’ Association of America ballot. The six-time AllStar still ranks sixth all-time with a home run every 14.1 at-bats. He averaged more than 100 RBIs per season and hit .279 with the Pirates, the Chicago Cubs and Cleveland.

Chalmers fined for flopping Los Angeles — Mario Chalmers’ travails with the NBA’s league office continue. Already on notice that his next flagrant foul will result in a suspension, the Miami Heat point guard on Thursday was cited for his second flopping violation of the season, which resulted in a $5,000 fine. Chalmers’ theatrics came with 5:54 remaining in the third quarter of the Heat’s 116-112 victory Wednesday night over the Los Angeles Clippers at Staples Center.

Loupe leads at Pebble Beach Pebble Beach, Calif. — Andrew Loupe knows how one week can change everything. He can only hope his 8-under 63 in the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am is the start of another one. Loupe had to wait three hours to tee off because of rain Thursday, and then played bogey-free on the Shore Course at Monterey Peninsula. That gave him the lowest score among those who finished their rounds.
