The Orioles have conquered the American League East, but now face a conflict with a Billy Joel and Stevie Nicks concert scheduled at the Ravens’ nearby stadium on the same day they begin the American League Division Series.Major League Baseball has four division series games scheduled to start on Oct. 7. The concert is scheduled for that night at 7 p.m.The Orioles’ and Ravens’ stadiums sit on an 85-acre tract with shared, state-owned parking lots between them. It’s not workable to hold simultaneous events. A ballgame and concert would need to be scheduled hours apart, and even that could pose traffic or logistical problems.Major League Baseball, which is aware of the potential conflict, says the baseball game cannot be pushed to the next day — Oct. 8 — when the Ravens will be in Pittsburgh playing the Steelers.By clinching the American League East — and having the AL’s best record — the Orioles gained home-field advantag...‘Varsity Blues’ college admission scandal redux: John Wilson gets only probation following successful appeal

Today, it’s clear to all that I was telling the truth, I did not violate any laws or school policies,” Wilson, of Lynnfield, said in a statement shared Friday with media outlets.“While I may have been the one on trial, my children were the true victims of this prosecutorial overreach. Contrary to the false narrative put forward by prosecutors and repeated in the media, my children were extraordinary students and athletes who worked hard for everything they earned,” he added.Wilson in February of last year ...Battenfeld: Lame-duck councilors look for revenge against mayor and Mass and Cass plan

There’s nothing more perilous in politics than defeated lame-duck elected officials with nothing to lose – and that’s what Boston Mayor Michelle Wu is facing right now.Two Boston city councilors bounced by voters in the preliminary election – and one who is about to leave on his own – are selfishly trying to torpedo Wu’s plan to clean up Mass and Cass.Scandal-scarred Councilor Ricardo Arroyo, who Wu snubbed during the election, seems especially bent on getting revenge on the mayor who endorsed his opponent in the preliminary.Defeated Councilor Kendra Lara, who lost her job because of slamming her car into a house while driving an unregistered vehicle without a license, is also opposing Wu’s Mass and Cass ordinance, calling it a “drastic” solution.It’s not drastic. No one will be thrown onto the street. People at Mass and Cass would be offered shelter and transportation as well as a place to store their belongings before their camps would be removed. And it’s not really new because t...Crime Briefs: $70k viola snatched from Allston, Boston Police retrieve stolen vest, Dorchester pimp gets 5 years
