On This Day…

⚡️ Usain Bolt Does Usain Bolt Things!

On this day in 2008…

One of the 🐐 ‘s in Olympian history, Usain Bolt, broke the world record in the 100m sprint with a time of 9.72 seconds.

Lightning fast. Another fun fact about Usain Bolt in the Olympics. He has 8 medals…

And all 8 of those medals are GOLD! If he competed he was winning, second place was not even a thought.

World Series Rematch

⚾️ Fireworks in Yankees-Dodgers

The great players show up in the great moments! Yesterday’s World Series rematch had fireworks from the jump! The way this one started was see-it-to-believe-it material!

We all know what happened just 7 months ago when these two faced off in the World Series! It was all LA! Last night we were treated to another rendition of Yankees-Dodgers!

The game started with absolute fireworks. In the top of the first, Aaron Judge hit a one out BOMB to get the Yankees out in front to a 1-0 lead! The bottom of the inning rolled around, and who leads off, none other than Shohei Ohtani.

Max Fried was on the mound for the Yankees. He has been a stud all year, with a 7-0 record and a 1.29 ERA. Him facing off against Ohtani to start the inning was like an unstoppable force colliding with an unmovable object! The unstoppable force won…ON THE VERY FIRST PITCH! Shohei wasted no time answering Judge, he went yard as well on the very first pitch! Tying the game at 1!

An absolutely cinematic way to start a great game!

We’re still a long long way from November, but man this could absolutely be a rematch we see in the big one! BUT, we’ve got a lot of ball until then!

Check out the full highlight video here, it’s worth the watch!

The Hot Stove

🏀 Game 6 Preview…Knicks vs Pacers

Well we’ve got Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals tonight. Here’s what to look out for.

We’ve seen a little bit of everything in this series. We’ve seen some defiant wins, we’ve seen some 20-point comebacks, some nail biters. I’m trying to think if there is anything that would surprise me in this game, and I don’t think there is. Knicks blowout maybe is the most far fetched but anything but that would be reasonable.

Once the Knicks went deep into their bench, this series has changed. The stars are getting their rest and when they come back in the second half, they have a whole lot of energy to put the team on their back. Brunson and KAT have been massive, and the defense from Mitchell Robinson and Deuce McBride has been equally important. The Pacers on the other hand can attack you from 100 angles, and they’ll do it quickly. There’s a whole lot to look forward to tonight at 8:00 PM! Be ready!

⛳️ Where We Stand…The Memorial!
