Apple TV just announced that (for the first time ever) this weekend's LA Galaxy vs. Houston Dynamo match will be shot entirely on an iPhone 17 Pro.
Here's what the setup looked like last year when they began testing it during MLB games.
Here’s a closer look at the details of our 2025 Texas League Championship Rings:
The face of the ring prominently features our ‘S Bird’ logo, surrounded by 18 total diamonds: two colored victory blue to signify the two championships in team history (2012 and 2025), two colored red for the first and second half championships in 2025 and two other red gems for the two playoff series victories it took to earn the tile.
Each side of the ring was designed to represent a larger theme: the team on the field, and the community they represent.
On the community side, you’ll find the year 2025 featuring the ‘zero’ replaced by the same Compass Crown that dons the City of Springfield Flag. Beneath the championship year is the city skyline behind our home ballpark silhouette to signify that the city of Springfield had the team’s back all season long. Inside the ballpark silhouette features the words ’88 wins’ to commemorate a new regular season record.
On the team side, players’ last name and number as well as the iconic St. Louis interlock pop above a gold plated confetti background. You’ll also find the 2025 Texas League Championship trophy encompassed with Springfield’s ‘MVP Chain’ which was used during the 2025 season as a home run celebration and given to the player of the game after all 92 regular season and postseason wins.
The inside of the ring lists both the North Division and Texas League Championships series scores against Tulsa and Midland. Underneath that is the phrase ‘1-2-3 clap’: After all player meetings during the 2025 season, the Cardinals ended with a synchronized clap.
On the outside of the band is one last Springfield city skyline. Every time a player shows off their championship ring from here on out, they’ll clinch their fist to embrace the city that embraced them.
END OF AN ERA AT APPLE
Tim Cook is stepping down as CEO on Sept 1.
bro turned a $350B company into a $4 TRILLION monster.
Hardware chief John Ternus is replacing him, the engineer who actually built the iPhones.
The Red Sox challenged José Fermín getting hit by a pitch, which was overturned and ruled in their favor.
The Cardinals then challenged for catcher's interference and won, so Fermín took first base anyways! 😆
