José Bautista’s MLB career will be remembered for a handful of indelible moments, chief among them his brawl with Rougned Odor and the bat flip heard ’round the world against the Texas Rangers during Game 5 of the 2015 ALDS.
But now that Bautista has officially retired 1,777 days after his last big-league at bat, he should also be remembered for how he carved out a career path like no other in baseball.
I can still imagine him restless on the mound, watching the runners with a shrewd glance over his shoulder before unleashing his lightning movements — opening and closing his glove — as he prepares to grab the next lethal pitch to the plate.
After countless moments under pressure, Artemisa Hunters closer José Ángel García saw his long-awaited opportunity to make history arrive: he took the mound at Nelson Fernández Stadium — precisely where he began his glorious career challenging hitters a little more than 25 seasons ago—, to seek the desired record of games saved that eluded him last year in the Elite Cuban Baseball League.
There’s no shortage of tequila options on the market. In 2022, nearly 30 million 9-liter cases of tequila and mezcal were sold in the U.S. to the tune of just over $6 billion. And it feels like a new celebrity tequila gets announced every week. Seriously. Matthew McConaughey just announced his — Pantalones — in late October. I l…

Per 247Sports’ Matt Zenitz, Georgia is expected to hire former Georgia Tech wide receivers coach Josh Crawford the position of running backs coach. Crawford has been one of the more familiar names in the state of Georgia for the past decade and a half. He broke into the coaching ranks at the high school level, establishing his footprint across the state of Georgia. He spent time at Greater Atlanta Christian, Jefferson County, Colquitt County, Lee County, and Valdosta before making the jump to the college ranks.
There aren’t many burgers you’d ride a Vespa in 40-degree weather in the rain to pick up. Casey Jovick’s spot at the intersection of Macklind Avenue and Loughborough Avenue does carry the advantage of being five minutes from my home. Still, the end product justifies the risky means. Jovick Brothers Burgers, Casey’s second spot after Westport’s deli, won’t disappoint any weather-challenged customers. Once you’re there, the burgers make it all matter.
In February, Juan Soto got in a car and started driving east. He left his home in Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic, on a coastal highway lined with palm trees. About an hour later, he arrived in Boca Chica. The jungles had been cleared to make way for a baseball field, and a huge building sprouted up with a familiar logo, welcoming visitors to the Dominican home of “Los Yankees de Nueva York.
The Shrink Next Door—the first three episodes of which released Friday on Apple's TV+ content farm—is perhaps the most Jewish show currently on air. It is more authentic in its portrayal of Judaism than anything I've seen since last year's adaptation for HBO of Philip Roth's The Plot Against America. But where that show was set in the 1940s, safely trapping its Jews in the traditionality of yore, The Shrink Next Door daringly proclaims that Jews existed as recently as the '80s.
In the fall of 2016, I received an email from my agent: Another client they represented noticed I had a new book coming out and wanted to invite me on his show. The request came from Jude Angelini, the host of the All Out Show on Shade 45, Eminem’s SiriusXM hip-hop station. But unlike most requests I get, this one came with a warning: “I’m not sure if you’re interested in going on a show like this.
Stunning allegations are rocking the New York City Family Court. Judge Cynthia Lopez allegedly attempted to seduce a mother involved in a custody battle she was presiding over. The communications stemmed from an interaction on a swinger's app.
The accusation prompted Judge Lopez's swift recusal and a whirlwind of scrutiny over the appointment and conduct of Family Court judges.
Sidney Southerland, the mother at the center of the controversy, alleges that Judge Lopez, using "
