There is nobody else like Shohei Ohtani in Major League Baseball. He is one of one.
The 28-year-old international superstar continues to do freakish things each and every outing, and has broken a lot of records along the way.

Shohei Ohtani Passes Babe Ruth To Set A New Record

Ohtani is hitting .289 with 24 RBIs, and 22 runs scored in 142 at-bats over 37 games in 2023. He also sports a 2.74 ERA with four wins, one loss and five quality starts in 46 innings pitched over eight starts.
There is nothing that Ohtani cannot do on the mound or at the plate.

Basketball Hall of Fame coach Phil Jackson got into hot water last month, explaining why he hasn’t watched the league regularly since 2020. At the time, the league put slogans on the back of players’ uniforms to show solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement.
“They had things on their back like ‘Justice’ and a funny thing happened like, ‘Justice went to the basket and Equal Opportunity knocked him down.’ Some of my grandkids thought it was pretty funny to play up those names. I couldn’t watch that,” Jackson said on the Tetragrammaton podcast.

Sha’Carri Richardson is on a tear. The polarizing sprinter, who has slimmed out for the 2023 season, is two-for-two in her last two races on the Diamond League circuit.

However, despite best laid plans, Richardson could not run the 100-meter event Saturday in Kenya.

Shane Ray, who was drafted by the Broncos in the first round of the 2015 draft and hasn’t played in the NFL since 2019, signed with the Bills after a tryout.

Monty Williams, who spent four seasons as the Suns’ head coach, was fired on Saturday night, the team announced.

Colorado Rockies pitcher Ryan Feltner spent the night in the hospital after a comebacker struck him in the head Saturday at Coors Field.
Philadelphia Phillies’ Nick Castellanos lined a 1-0 slider back to the mound at 92.7 mph. As the ball hit Feltner, he immediately collapsed to the ground.
While the right-hander didn’t appear to lose consciousness, he laid on the mound squinting his eyes as Rockies training stuff sprinted out to help.
Feltner eventually walked off with the assistance of two staff members.

The Suns and head coach Monty Williams reportedly parted ways Saturday night, two days after Phoenix got blown out by the Nuggets in Game 6 of the Western Conference semifinals to end its season. That is despite Williams leading Phoenix to a 194-115 record over four years, which marks the third-best winning percentage (.628) in franchise history.
Phoenix is one of the most intriguing NBA coaching openings in recent years, as the team has superstars Kevin Durant and Devin Booker under contract next season.
