The biggest hit of Chris Chambliss' career also produced the biggest celebratory freakout in baseball history. It was on this day in 1976 that Chambliss won the AL pennant for the Yankees with a walk-off homer in Game 5 of the ALCS against the Royals. But that's just the first half of the story.

Daniel Kaelin and his family were making a quick celebratory trip on Monday night when more good news came in. Kaelin, who just finished his freshman season at Bellevue West, had picked up his first scholarship offer, seemingly out of the blue, from Florida State. Yeah, that Florida State.

There might not be another person more loved in New York or New Jersey than Brian Daboll right now.

The odds of Cleveland actually winning it all in 2022 may seem slim. After all, teams such as the New York Yankees and Houston Astros are standing in their way in the American League. And even if the Guardians power through the AL they will have possibly have to face the Los Angeles Dodgers or New York Mets from the NL in the World Series. But can this Cleveland Guardians team upset the odds and snap their 70-plus year World Series drought? Let’s take a look at 3 reasons why the Guardians will win it all in 2022.

Taysom Hill has been a do-it-all utility player since entering the NFL six years ago, but he took that to a whole new level on Sunday for the New Orleans Saints.

LeBron James is entering his milestone 20th NBA season but even at this stage of his career, he’s just as locked in as ever. At the start of a season when he has the opportunity to pass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the All-Time leading scorer and to pass Magic Johnson on the all-time assists leaderboard, James is still showing his dedication to the process. After Friday’s practice, when asked how much he wanted to play in this year’s preseason competition, James replied, “More than I played last year,”

DENVER – The eighth time Russell Wilson threw Stephon Gilmore's way, the Colts cornerback undercut wide receiver Tyrie Cleveland's route and picked off the Denver Broncos quarterback in the end zone. And the ninth time Wilson threw Gilmore's way, the Colts cornerback – again – undercut wide receiver Courtland Sutton's route and swatted the ball away on fourth-and-one, earning his team a 12-9 victory over the Broncos on Thursday Night Football. "(Wilson) kept trying me," Gilmore told Amazon Prime's postgame show. "So I had to make him pay." The Colts gritty win at Empower Field at Mile High does not happen without first a game-shifting and then a game-sealing play from the 2019 AP Defensive Player of the Year. Gilmore, whose deflection of a Patrick Mahomes pass in Week 3 led to safety Rodney Thomas Jr. snagging the game-sealing interception to down the Kansas City Chiefs, played every bit like the lockdown, playmaking corner the Colts believed he could be in Gus Bradley's defense when they signed him in April.

Wilson threw both of his interceptions in the fourth quarter, both on plays that started inside Colts territory when points on either of those drives likely would have given the Broncos the win. "We felt like we should have won that game. I felt like I let us down tonight,'' Wilson said. He added: "Lot of season left, lot of opportunity. [There is] so much good, but the bad is bad. We should have won that game. It's on me." Wilson briefly spoke with a visibly upset Hamler after the game, and several of Wilson's teammates also stopped to talk to Wilson as he sat in front of his locker, in full uniform, well over an hour after the game had ended.

At least 125 fans have been killed at a soccer match in Indonesia after police fired tear gas, causing chaotic scenes where fans were trampled upon and suffocated, making it one of the deadliest sports events in history. The death toll was previously confirmed to be 174, but local authorities reduced the number, saying some victims were counted twice. Attention immediately focused on the police use of tear gas, and witnesses described that police beat them with sticks and shields before shooting canisters directly into the crowds. The president of FIFA called the deaths at the stadium "a dark day for all involved in football and a tragedy beyond comprehension," while President Joko Widodo ordered an investigation of security procedures. While FIFA has no control over domestic games, it has advised against the use of tear gas at soccer stadiums. Saturday's game is already among the world's worst crowd disasters, including the 1996 World Cup qualifier between Guatemala and Costa Rica in Guatemala City where over 80 died and over 100 more were injured. In April 2001, more than 40 people are crushed to death during a soccer match at Ellis Park in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Former Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel downplayed his interest in starting a potential NFL comeback in the XFL, which was recently purchased by a group that includes Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. "I'm retired, dude," Manziel told TMZ Sports on Friday. The 27-year-old Texas A&M product most recently played for the AAF's Memphis Express in 2019 after spending the 2018 season in the CFL with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and Montreal Alouettes. He was released by the Browns in March 2016 after two years in the NFL. "Listen, anything The Rock touches is gonna be gold as always," Manziel told TMZ. "But I think football is a little bit behind me. I'm just trying do to other things in life that make me happy. That's it."
