In 2019, Christian Yelich wrote about how his mom saved his baseball career: “‘I’ll give you five bucks if you get a hit today.’
That’s what got me into the car....
But also it was just a really good bribe on her part, too, because it was a two-part thing. It wasn’t just about me going to the game. My mom’s offer also ensured that I would try hard once I got there....
So on what I’m pretty sure was the first pitch I saw, I swung the bat like there was no tomorrow. Bat struck ball and, well, I’d love to tell you I hit a seed down the first base line or something … but to be honest with you the ball only went about five feet.
I took off for first base as fast as I could, like my life depended on it. But I probably could’ve just walked to first at that point. You know how those little-kid games go. Basically if you hit the ball forward, and it stays in fair territory, it’s gonna be a base hit. And that’s what this one turned out to be.
I had a huge grin on my face when I reached first base and looked over toward the bleachers. Like….
That’ll be five bucks!
Pay up, Mom.
When you’re seven and someone gives you $5, it’s like you just hit the lotto. I felt like I could buy anything in existence at that point, but I’m pretty sure I just spent all my money at the snack shack by the field.
And then from that point forward, for whatever reason, I was never worried about being hit by a pitch again. After I put the ball in play that one time it was like, Hey, look … everything’s going to be fine with baseball.
It only took one hit. And five bucks....
Everything I’ve done up to this point as a player, everything I’m doing now, and everything I do in the future … all of that would’ve been wiped away if my mom wouldn’t have cared as much as she did back then. There would’ve been no draft-day celebration for me, no magical run to the NLCS, no MVP. None of that exists without her.”https://t.co/qT5woateDm
The Oilers brought in one of world's most respected Sports Psychologists and Meditation Coach, George Mumford, this season, who previously helped guide Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant to championships.
Here he is hugging Stuart Skinner after Game 6 and saying "my man" to him.
WNBA basketball player Caitlin Clark gets cheap shotted, called a 'b*tch' and then Angel Reese stands up to celebrate.
Just last week, "The View" co-host Sunny Hostin argued that Clark had "white privilege" and "pretty privilege."
Race baiter Jemele Hill also claimed that Clark's popularity was due to her race and s*xuality.
Clark is getting bullied from all angles but these clowns want you to think that *she* is the issue.
If the parents win this case, every HS coach in America should resign immediately!
I always say I don’t know how you all do it anymore in this environment, and this would literally mean you couldn’t do it without parental permission on any decision you make
Uncertainty used to reign supreme in the McCabe household.
Adapting to Toronto was stressful for Jake. Being thrown into the playoffs was new.
But now, McCabe has become the Maple Leafs' steadying hand, writes @joshuakloke.

Neal Shipley is a grad student at Ohio State and the only amateur who made the cut at the Masters. His caddie is one of his good high school buddies.
Today, they are casually playing in the final round of #TheMasters with Tiger Woods.
NEW: Oregon man almost gets sawed in half after a 4-foot saw blade comes spinning across a Quik Trip parking lot.
Insane.
Shane Reimche had just entered the store when the blade struck the store wall where he just had been.
The out-of-control saw blade came from a nearby construction site.
“I was walking into the store here, I put my hand on the door and I heard a loud bang and yelling here at the corner,” Reimche said.
“Just as a cloud of smoke pops up and I see a guy fall in the ditch, and four-foot blade hurtling at me. Last minute I was able to duck behind the counter.”
The store owner said the whole store shook when the blade hit the wall.
Lucky guy!
NHL game No 1,297 for Corey Perry tonight, and his parents will drive down from Peterborough.
Does a kid still look up in the stands for his parents - even when he’s not a kid anymore?
“You bet I do,” Perry said. “I’ll find ‘em, every time.”
Hat Trick for Zac Urdahl and Omaha beats North Dakota in NCHC Semi Final. Omaha will make the NCAAs for just the 4th time. Their 23 wins is the most in school history. Omaha plays St Cloud/Denver tomorrow for NCHC Conference Championship.
