On this date 85 years ago, Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hit streak came to an end ⚾
During the streak, DiMaggio had nearly as many triples (4) as strikeouts (5). The longest active hit streak in the MLB right now is 8 games (4 players).

More than 18 years ago, a baby named Lamine Yamal and his mom Sheila met Lionel Messi at a UNICEF fundraising photoshoot.
Today, their achievements on the pitch inspire millions. Off the pitch, both Messi and Lamine Yamal use their voices and platforms as UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors to support and advocate for children around the world.
The goal? That every child survives, thrives, and fulfils their potential.
We are proud to have them on our team.
