Aww! 😭 Mike Myers got choked up as he thanked his late parents and brothers Peter and Paul at the Canadian Screen Awards. The Austin Powers star, 63, who grew up in Scarborough, Ontario, was honoured with the Icon award for his contributions to comedy 🎭 🇨🇦 ✨

@barstoolsports Aww come on guys... I mean if you can't stare at the ball, talk shit to the opposing bench, fake hand slap your coach, wave to the outfield, bear claw to your bench, reverse hand slap the 3 base coach, dance on home plate and then make it rain... what are we even doing anymore?
Today in 1993: Dale Murphy, the face of the Atlanta Braves in the 1980s, retired as a member of the Colorado Rockies.
Murphy won back-to-back NL MVP awards in 1982-83. A 7-time All-Star and won 5 straight Gold Gloves.
Broke in with the Braves as a catcher; then moved to first before cementing his fame as an outfielder. He retired just two home runs short of 400 in his career. #MLB #Braves #baseball
Bob Horner and I were destined to be teammates somewhere. I signed a letter of intent to play baseball at Arizona State before I was drafted. Bob played at ASU and ended up in Atlanta my first full year in the major leagues—1978. One way or another, it was bound to happen.
From the minute Bob Horner joined the Braves, all us players could see he was good. I mean… really good. And that swing—short and quick, x or and could turn around anybody’s fast ball. And Bob knew the strike zone. He just did not swing at a bad pitch (like I had a tendency to do a little too often…) He was a unique talent and I was very lucky to be in the lineup with him most of my career. All of my numbers were better when he was hitting behind me. And that fact is not lost on me. I know my career was better because of him.
It’s been a hard few weeks for the Braves Family losing Ted and Bobby—and now Bob. These 3 men all had such a profound impact on my career. I am forever grateful.
Nancy and I will miss Bob and our hearts go out to Chris and Trent and Tyler, along with their entire family.
The older we get, the more we cherish wonderful memories and this past month has brought a flood of them back to us. The gratitude we feel for them all has been overwhelming.
Rest well, my friend and teammate.
Breakdown,
Telling the umpire he’s a f-ing B warrants an ejection, not a right cross.
The coach definitely shouldn’t have said that, but honestly I feel the umpire mishandled all of this. What do you think?
Happy "Have Another Donut!" Day if you’re celebrating…
38 years ago today, May 6th, 1988, an angry NJ Devils head coach, Jim Schoenfeld, went after referee Don Koharski, after losing 6-1 to the Boston Bruins in Game 3 of the Wales Conference semifinals.
NHL union refs refused to work Game 4 after Schoenfeld wasn’t punished by the league. Replacement refs were brought in.
Another memorable John Sterling call came the night after Dale Murphy injured his hand on the plexiglass wall requiring 9 stitches. He would come off the bench and hit a homer to keep his consecutive games played streak alive at 676 games.
More than 300,000 people stood outside for hours to listen to some dude in a suit read names off an index card. The European mind simply cannot comprehend this.
35 years ago today..
