Longtime New York Yankees play-by-play announcer Michael Kay apparently doesn’t have a sense of humor and takes his team wayyyyyyy too seriously.
On July 4th, two players from both the Yankees and Cincinnati Reds engaged in a standoff after the  national anthem was played. The goal for each pair of players was to be the last ones on the field in an attempt to humorously show their patriotism.
In all seriousness, what’s wrong with that? Absolutely nothing.

Well, one of the bigger questions following the NHL Draft has officially been answered: first-overall pick Macklin Celebrini is headed to the National Hockey League.
The 18-year-old reigning Hobey Baker Award winner as the best player in college hockey was the consensus No. 1 in this year’s draft, and as soon as the San Jose Sharks won the draft lottery, it was essentially written in stone that they’d take Celebrini.

LeBron’s son made his much-awaited NBA debut on Saturday, but things got off to a slow start in his first game in a Lakers uniform.

A cyclist has been killed in a tragic crash during the fourth stage of the Tour Of Austria.
Norwegian cyclist Andre Drege, 25, died Saturday during the fourth stage of this year’s race. According to the BBC, Drege died during the five-day race’s fourth stage. This stage runs from St. Johann Alpendorf to Kals and features a section where riders have to descend the Grossglockner — Austria’s largest mountain — and it was there that Drege sustained fatal injuries.

Featuring two career-changing ladder matches, Money in the Bank is considered to be on the same prestige level as SummerSlam, Survivor Series, Royal Rumble and WrestleMania.

Minnesota Twins infielder Jose Miranda joined a fantastic foursome by getting 12 hits in 12 straight at-bats.

It’s the beginning of a new era for Alabama football. For the first time since 2006, Nick Saban won’t be calling the shots from the sideline for the Crimson Tide. And it’ll be up to former Washington head coach Kalen DeBoer to fill some very big shoes.
Saban was known for his no-nonsense coaching style. For 17 seasons, the Tide played “Joyless Murderball.” They’d dominate their opponents and move onto the next without fuss.

You would think that Iga Swiatek – the women’s No. 1 tennis player in the world – would have no problem advancing past the third round of Wimbledon.
After all, she had won 21 consecutive matches, and is fresh off her fourth French Open win in June. Surely, the Polish superstar could handle the No. 35-ranked Yulia Putintseva, right?
Wrong.
Swiatek lost to her opponent from Kazakhstan in three sets, 6-3, 1-6, 2-6. Wimbledon continues to be a nightmare of a destination for her, as she has never reached beyond the quarterfinals of this tournament in her career.

Minnesota Twins infielder Jose Miranda had a brush with Major League Baseball history on Saturday afternoon against the Houston Astros. 
Miranda, who’s having an outstanding season for the Twins, has been on a nearly unbelievable run of form over his past few games. On the July 4th game against the Detroit Tigers, Miranda went 5 for 5 with three doubles. He followed that with another 4 for 4 performance with a double in Friday night’s game. 
And then he added two more hits in his first two official at bats in Saturday’s game.
