Iowa State Representative J.D. Scholten is learning it’s never too late to live out your childhood dream.
The 44-year-old Democrat legislator was volunteering at a music festival last week when he got a call from the Sioux City Explorers — begging him to come pitch for them. Just 90 minutes later, Scholten took the mound against the Milwaukee Milkmen and delivered 100 pitches in 6 2/3 innings, allowing just two runs.
Explorers manager Steve Montgomery compared the outing to Kevin Costner’s 40-year-old character in the 1999 movie, For Love of the Game.
It’s no secret that 2024 could be a turning point season for the USC Trojans.

Great athletes do whatever it takes to compete. And for Tracy Cortez this weekend, that meant cutting off her luscious locks.
The UFC flyweight competitor missed her weight by just a half a pound at Friday’s weigh-in. So she did what she had to do: She grabbed some scissors and told her team backstage to just “f*cking chop it.” Cortez then returned minutes later with a clump of hair in her hand. This time, she made weight at 126 pounds.
Cortez and Rose Namajunas will now face off as planned in the main event of UFC’s Fight Night card on Saturday in Denver.
