The New York Yankees-Boston Red Sox rivalry has seen some of baseball’s best moments … and whatever happened on Friday at Fenway Park. With two runners on and one out in the third inning, Yankees outfielder Joey Gallo hit a fly ball to right field. It was not a very good fly ball. It should have been well within range for any right fielder worth his salt; MLB’s Statcast gave it an xBA of .010. Basically, a one percent chance of being a hit. That routine fly ball turned into an adventure,… Source link

Jodie Burrage didn’t think twice during her opening match at Wimbledon on Monday. Burrage, during her match against Leisa Tsurenko, suddenly noticed a ball boy standing on the side of the court start to pass out. Instantly, she stopped the match and ran over to help — bringing him a blue Powerade, a gel pack and eventually some candy she got from someone in the stands. The match was stopped for about 10 minutes before the ball boy was helped off the court. “Just tried to get him some sugar,… Source link

One month into the 2022 MLB season, the league is once again dealing with a change to its baseballs. This time, MLB has reportedly expanded its use of a deadened ball that was partially used last year and begun using humidors at all 30 ballparks. The result is a new dead ball era, with runs down, batting average down and, most noticeably, home runs down. Except in nationally televised games, if New York Mets hitting coach Eric Chavez is to be believed. Speaking with Tim Healey of Newsday,… Source link

The biggest loser of Tom Brady‘s unretirement (outside of the NFC South) is no longer the person who won the ball from his “last” touchdown pass at auction hours before news broke the quarterback was returning. A settlement has been reached to void last month’s $518,000 sale of Brady’s ball at auction, according to The Action Network’s Darren Rovell. The ball was available after Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans threw it into the stands in what appeared to be Brady’s final game, a… Source link

Mike Evans gave away another milestone Tom Brady ball. Or so it appeared.

Tom Brady‘s most costly throw of the game on Sunday led to one of his classiest moves. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback led his team to a 28-24 comeback win against the New York Jets, but he had a little more ground to make up thanks to how he ended the first half.  Down 14-10, a potential Bucs scoring drive ended in an interception to Jets rookie Brandin Echols, who returned the ball 30 yards to set up a field goal right before halftime: Brady ultimately overcome that interception with 18… Source link

In addition to becoming the NBA’s all-time 3-point king on Tuesday night, Stephen Curry also supplied memorabilia collectors two lucrative new items to chase. Sports memorabilia experts told Yahoo Sports that the ball and game-worn jersey from Curry’s record-clinching moment could be worth plenty if they ever hit the open market. The No. 30 jersey that Curry was wearing against the New York Knicks could fetch as much as $500,000 at auction, Ken Goldin, founder and executive chairman of… Source link

(Yahoo Sports) LA JOLLA, Calif. — Mackenzie Hughes was having the tournament of a lifetime, and it all got derailed by a once-in-a-lifetime bit of bad course luck.  The Canadian began Sunday with a share of the lead at the U.S. Open. He’d only played in eight majors before, and missed the cut in six of them, so this wasn’t exactly familiar territory. He bogeyed three of his first six holes, and his championship chances seemed to evaporate.  But then he birdied his way back into competition,… Source link
