Garnet Hathaway, multi-sport athlete!
Boston Bruins forward Garnet Hathaway made a strong impression at Sunday night’s MLB matchup between the St. Louis Cardinals and Boston Red Sox.
Sitting in the luxury box, Hathaway seated cozily at the start of the game but was interrupted when a Justin Turner foul ball soared high in the sky.
Greeted by widespread applause throughout Fenway, Hathaway barehanded the baseball as it flew in his direction.

James Harden was held to just nine points in the 76ers’ Game 7 loss against the Celtics on Sunday, failing to register double-digit points for the second time this postseason.
His lackluster performance drew a scalding hot take from Stephen A. Smith, who held nothing back when ripping into Philadelphia’s star guard.
After the Sixers’ playoff exit, Smith gave Harden an earful, imploring the 33-year-old to shave his beard in order to better hide his identity.
“James Harden was so awful, so bad, he should actually shave his beard so he can hide his identity.
Joel Embiid’s postgame press conference following the 76ers’ playoff exit on Sunday raised eyebrows across social media.
Even fellow NBA stars have expressed some level of confusion over Embiid’s brutally honest comments after Philadelphia’s defeat against the Celtics in Game 7.
Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard was among those left perplexed by Embiid’s remarks, and the All-NBA point guard took to Twitter with the perfect one-word reaction.
St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Lars Nootbaar probably wasn’t expecting to get so emotional on Sunday.
Not only did his falling Cards beat the Boston Red Sox on the primetime stage, 9-1, but he also received an emotional greeting from mother Kumi Nootbaar in a pre-game interview — in honor of Mother’s Day.

Nootbaar was surprised by Mama Nootbaar during an interview with ESPN’s Eduardo Perez, and the Mother’s Day moment was a real tearjerker.
During Sunday’s segment of NBA Countdown, ESPN’s Michael Wilbon weighed in on Ja Morant’s recent suspension amid a recent video of the Grizzlies point guard in which he appeared to be holding a gun.
Wilbon announced that Morant’s signature Nike shoe, which released earlier this year, was not allowed in his household, and he informed his son about the new rule, too.
“What’s going to happen now? Nike going to pull that shoe? Is Powerade going to pull that drink? I know in my house, I told Matthew, ‘You can’t have the shoe. I’m not buying that shoe.
Doyle Brunson, a giant of poker often referred to as the game’s “godfather,” died Sunday in Las Vegas at the age of 89.
Brunson, whose influence on poker spanned generations, was the first player to officially make $1 million playing the game. He turned lessons gleaned from his career into the 1979 book SuperSystem, a groundbreaking manual of poker strategy featuring contributions from several top players.
Game 7 is the usually the stage for the biggest stars to rise to the occasion and prove what they’re about. Jayson Tatum did just that, and then some in a historic night under the weight of an electric Boston crowd.
Miami guards Haley and Hanna Cavinder were essential to the Hurricanes’ unprecedented success in 2023. Haley averaged 12.2 points per game and was named second team All-ACC, while Hanna contributed off the bench to a team that reached the program’s first Elite Eight.
However, the Cavinder twins gained fame as much for their actions off the court as for their play on it.
76ers center Joel Embiid spoke to reporters in the aftermath of the team’s playoff exit on Sunday, and the league’s MVP appeared to have a message for his supporting cast.
After criticizing his own play, Embiid urged his teammates to provide more help for himself and James Harden, saying that Philadelphia’s star tandem “can’t win alone.”
“It’s going to take more than us. We all got to look at ourselves. I’ve got to be better and I will be better. That’s what I’m focused on.
Since returning to the Lakers in a three-team trade on Feb. 9, guard D’Angelo Russell has played a key role in Los Angeles’s surge.
His 17.4 points per game helped the Lakers sneak into the playoffs in the first place, and despite occasional struggles, his contributions have been front and center in his team’s conquests of the Grizzlies and Warriors.
However, Russell has been invaluable in another department aside from assured guard play: comic relief.
