Awesome. His Eagles teammate, rookie Cooper DeJean, ran 10.71, 21.92 and jumped 24-2 at OABCIG HS in Iowa.

🦅 Before he was headed to his first Super Bowl, Saquon Barkley was a track and field standout at Whitehall HS in Pennsylvania. He only competed in Track and Field during his senior year. Despite that, he ran a 10.90 100m, long jumped 22-2.5 and threw a shot put 46-2.5. 📊 Stats powered by MileSplit 📸 KNL Pix | PA MileSplit

The AL Central has 4 of 5 teams over .500 Their overall winning percentage is .475, the second-worst division in MLB. That’s how bad the White Sox are.

Welcome to baseball immortality, Joe Mauer.
JOSEPH PATRICK MAUER “Joe” Minnesota, A.L. 2004-18 Lifelong Twin was one of the most complete catchers in the game’s history, producing at the plate and behind the mask like few others. Deployed precise left-handed swing to become first A.L. catcher to win a batting title, securing three total – 2006, 2008, 2009 – most ever among backstops in A.L./N.L. history. Earned A.L. MVP honors in 2009 when he hit .365, setting all-time record among those with 100 games caught in a season, and homered 28 times. First overall selection of 2001 MLB Draft was a six-time All-Star. Won five Silver Sluggers and displayed athleticism behind the plate, earning three Gold Glove Awards. - Photo: Milo Stewart Jr./National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum

When Willie Mays got called up from Triple-A in 1951, the Giants' affiliate was the Minneapolis Millers. Found the old ad taken out by Giants owner Horace Stoneham in the Minneapolis Sunday Tribune to essentially apologize to Minnesota baseball fans for taking Mays from them:

All valid points here. Not electing to go in with MLB on a streaming plan and sticking with Diamond (Ballys) looks like an even bigger blunder for the Twins. Cutting payroll, still taking a check from Diamond and alienating more fans does not equal wise business.

If the Coyotes leave, it’s at the expense of a lot of people who have supported this team through years of turmoil. I wrote about the impact relocation has on the fans. gophnx.com/cost-of-arizona-c…
Coyotes relocation to Utah: People are the true cost

Coyotes relocation to Utah: People are the true cost

If the Coyotes leave, it’s at the expense of a lot of people who have supported this team through years of turmoil just for the hope of it one day working out.

Iowa's Gabbie Marshall helped hold Paige Bueckers, who was averaging 28 ppg in the NCAA Tournament, to 3 points in the final 15:27 (1-for-4, 2 turnovers) of last night's semifinal. Marshall: “I get to take on the challenge of guarding her. That’s so much fun. Who wouldn’t want to do that? I tried to limit her. I think I did a fairly good job of making her shots just a little bit tougher.”
