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.

apnews.com/article/dodgers-shohei-ohtani-homers-2fe3db4fc472d290641aab39e0b945d5
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.

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.
