Quick Glance: Shohei Ohtani Sets New Record for Most MLB Homers
  • Los Angeles Dodgers slugger Shohei Ohtani has broken the record for the most homers hit by a Japanese-born player in Major League Baseball.

  • During a game at Dodger Stadium, Ohtani hit an impressive homer that flew into the right field bleachers off pitcher Adrian Houser of the New York Mets.

  • With this homer, which was Ohtani's 176th in his six years in the MLB, he surpassed Matsui, who played the final 10 years of his 20-year pro career in North America.

  • Ohtani's record-breaking blast traveled 423 feet and put the Dodgers ahead 2-0. Prior to this, Ohtani had not hit a homer in seven consecutive games.

The NBA Just Banned a Player for Life. It Had No Choice.
Quick Glance: Lifetime Ban as Warning to NBA Gamblers: Coach
  • Commissioner Adam Silver's firm stance on Raptors bench player Jontay Porter serves as a cautionary tale for potential NBA gamblers.

  • The NBA's decision to ban Jontay Porter due to his involvement in gambling did not come as a surprise to anyone in the league.

  • NBA bit players pose a gambling risk and were seen as an ideal example in this cautionary tale, as mentioned by an NBA coach.

  • Porter's limited significance as a player will lead to the story fading quickly, even though it may be referenced in relation to his brother Michael Porter Jr. and the Nuggets during the playoffs.

Quick Glance: Bringing Oakland Athletics to Sacramento is Wrong | Opinion
  • Sports radio personality David Weiglein, known as 'Carmichael Dave', opposes the temporary relocation of the Oakland Athletics to Sacramento by Kings owner Vivek Ranadive.

  • Weiglein argues that bringing the Oakland Athletics to Sacramento is wrong due to owner John Fisher being considered one of the worst in sports and advocates for the A's to remain in Oakland.

  • He cautions that Sacramento would receive a bad reputation as game attendance might dwindle after the initial novelty wears off, leaving loyal fans feeling duped.

  • Weiglein draws a parallel to the heroic story of saving the Sacramento Kings from moving to Seattle, emphasizing his refusal to engage with an owner like Fisher.

Quick Glance: Yankees' Aaron Boone Ejected for Fan-Heckling of MLB Umpire in Unusual Incident: 'I Don't Care Who Said It'
  • Yankees manager Aaron Boone was ejected early in the game against the A's at Yankee Stadium after a fan yelled something. This marked his 35th career ejection, with a rather unusual reason this time.

  • Umpire Hunter Wendelstedt warned Boone of an ejection after just five pitches if another word was said. A fan behind the dugout shouted something, leading Wendelstedt to toss Boone out of the game.

  • Boone's reactions, including pointing to the crowd, were captured on video. In one clip, Boone can be heard denying he said anything. Despite Wendelstedt's error in judgment, the ejection stood, making for a highly entertaining situation.

  • Although Wendelstedt misinterpreted the situation and Boone was innocent, the ejection remained. Nevertheless, the whole incident was incredibly entertaining, and Boone's 35 ejections in a short span of time is quite an impressive feat.
