After the Cleveland Indians changed their name then two brothers were hired to help them hit the ball out of the parks.

They are from Canada and they sure can hit a couple of home runs. They homered for the Cleveland Guardians in Friday night's game against the Texas Rangers, making them the first set of brothers to go deep in the same game in franchise history. 

There was no brotherly glove in the major leagues that was able to steal this historic feat from the two of them.

All Americans must stay strong, fearless, and wise, but mostly, we should have a heart, hope, tolerance, empathy, and lots of love.

For example, The Amazing Mets took a humoristic jab at The Dammned Yankees following a massive upset in the 1969 World Series over the Baltimore Orioles.

Buffalo Bills player Damar Hamlin is in critical condition after an on-field collapse, the NFL Bills-Bengals game was postponed.

My older brothers, as well as I, played football in school, but I have warned my daughter from allowing my grandson from playing this dangerously violent game.

This is not a contact sport, but more of a dangerous game and an opportunity for a serious injury following a severe collision. Why are fans addicted to this on-the-field violence?

The greatest athlete to ever play soccer is no longer in the game. Pelé, Brazil’s ‘king of soccer,’ has died. He was 82 years young.

As a cub reporter in Miami, I had the good fortune to be assigned to interview The ⚽️ KING but he said he was late for an important date and would only do it in Portuguese so I agreed and we also did a Spanish version. If I find the clip it will be here: He was kind, competitive, a gentleman, and The Champ.

He was born in The Bronx and cut his broadcasting teeth in Los Angeles. Vin Scully was the master voice of Major League Baseball.

Vincent Edward Scully was a retired American sportscaster. He was best known for his 67 seasons calling games for Major League Baseball's Los Angeles Dodgers, beginning in 1950 and ending in 2016.

Baseball fanatics who went to the ballpark would take their transistor radios with them to hear Vin explain to them what they were watching and what was happening on the field.
