Mess with Elly De La Cruz once and you’ll pay for it two wags of a baseball bat later.
MLB clubs are learning not to poke the bear, if the bear’s De La Cruz, the hard way.
On Monday, the electric Cincinnati Reds shortstop made the Milwaukee Brewers’ scoreboard operator pay after trolling De La Cruz for a stolen homer in his first at-bat.

MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN – JULY 24: Elly De La Cruz #44 of the Cincinnati Reds celebrates a two run home run against the Milwaukee Brewers in the third inning at American Family Field on July 24, 2023 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Two Northwestern athletes stepped up the legal fight against their school for serious hazing methods, according to new lawsuits filed on Monday.
The new suits land atop a pile of hazing allegations that Northwestern has received since The Daily Northwestern‘s takedown of Wildcats men’s football coach Pat Fitzgerald after overseeing hazing practices that included sexual misconduct.
One of the athletes is a female volleyball player claiming the team allowed severe punishment after she allegedly broke team guidelines by getting COVID in 2021.

Few players have made life in the major leagues look so easy so quickly like Elly De La Cruz has in 2023. Through his first 41 games, the 22-year-old phenom has stretched the physical limits of the game: He broke the record for the fastest infield assist ever recorded—then broke it again. He stole three bases over the course of a single inning as part of a bravura sequence that comprised about a minute of real time.
And for his latest feat of wonder? He hit a ball out of the entire stadium.

Charles Barkley spoke to NBC Sports Bay Area and shared his honest first reaction to the Warriors trading Jordan Poole for Chris Paul.

The K.C. Royals legend, at age 70, describes his unforgettable tirade and how he feels about where the infamous bat eventually ended up.

On the heels of Vikings receiver Jordan Addison receiving a citation for reckless driving, new information came to light Monday regarding an explanation of the events leading up to the Thursday incident.
Addison, the No. 23 pick in the 2023 NFL draft, was stopped by Minnesota State Patrol just outside St. Paul, Minn. last week for driving 140 mph in a 55-mph zone. With questions still swirling around the violation, a citation filed Monday with the Ramsey County District Court in St.

Lawyers for former Northwestern athletes announced two benchmark lawsuits against the university on Monday as part of its sprawling hazing scandal: the first by a woman athlete and the first by a player willing to be named. That player was former football player, Lloyd Yates, a Wildcats quarterback and receiver from 2015–17. That brings the total number of suits against the school in recent days to five, with lawyers promising several more. Collectively, the lawyers and former athletes have alleged that Northwestern fostered a culture rife with discrimination, harassment and hazing.

“Low man wins” is one of the fundamental ideologies of football, and few people know how to implement that principle like Colorado State’s newest defensive lineman, Hidetora Hanada. The Japanese-native will join the Rams as a junior and will have two seasons of college football eligibility left.
He announced the commitment last week.

This fall will mark just the second year playing the sport for Hanada.

“I think he’s embarrassed about it all. He’s apologized profusely.

Matt Duffy has earned his spot on the Royals this season by lining up all across the infield dirt. But after what happened to him in the first inning of Monday’s game against Guardians, he might want to re-examine his role as a utility infielder by investing in a new first baseman’s glove.
Cleveland’s first batter of the game, Steven Kwan, hit a routine ground ball to Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr., whose throw to Duffy at first base was right on the money.
