The torpedo is taking over.
This is the torpedo bat’s world, and we’re just living in it. The innovative new bat design made waves over the weekend when the New York Yankees smashed nine home runs in a game against the Brewers, leading to players all over baseball making calls and trying to land a torpedo of their own.
On Monday night Reds’ star Elly De La Cruz used the torpedo for the first time against the Rangers and absolutely went off.

The Japanese Grand Prix of 2005 remains legendary 20 seasons later
This weekend the Formula 1 grid returns to Suzuka International Racing Course, the site of the Japanese Grand Prix. Suzuka holds a dear place in the hearts and minds of many within F1, from fans to the drivers themselves.
The 2005 Japanese Grand Prix may be a big part of that story. Why? In part because four legends of the sport — Michael Schumacher, Fernando Alonso, Kimi Räikkönen, and Juan Pablo Montoya — started at the back of the field.

The San Francisco 49ers are in a good place to trade back in the 2025 NFL draft. ESPN analyst Bill Barnwell served up a trade idea where the 49ers move back and acquire a player who fills one of their biggest remaining needs.
In his mock draft of trades, Barnwell has the 49ers sending the No. 11 pick in the first round and the No. 113 pick in the fourth round to the Miami Dolphins in exchange for the No. 13 pick and defensive end Jaelan Phillips.
This seems like a potential dream scenario for San Francisco.

After being eliminated from the Sweet Sixteen this past weekend, the star point guard from Notre Dame had been wavering about whether she would leave for professional basketball, or return to college for another season. Turns out, the projected No.

Oh, Tiger. You think you’re playing a funny prank on us all, but it’s not funny! We want you back on the course as soon as possible.
But, no. Tiger Woods decided to use April 1 — yes, yes April Fools’ Day — to say this to the world: “I can’t believe I am saying this, but a few weeks after rupturing my left Achilles, the sleeping in a hyperbaric chamber plus the explosive lifts my doctors and trainers have me ready to play the Masters next week!
