Pete Rose, baseballs banned hits leader, has died at 83 NEW YORK (AP) Banished baseball great Pete Rose has died.
The longtime Cincinnati Red was the career hits leader and fallen idol who undermined his historic achievements and Hall of Fame dreams by gambling on the game he loved and once embodied.
His 4,256 hits broke his hero Ty Cobbs 4,191 and signified his excellence no matter the notoriety which followed.
Rose was banned in 1989 after a major league baseball investigation determined he had bet on baseball, including on his own team.
A spokesperson for Clark County in Nevada confirmed on behalf of the medical examiner that Rose had died.
Appreciation: Dikembe Mutombo, a Basketball Hall of Fame player, had impact far beyond the game The finger wag.
The enormous smile.
The unmistakable voice.
Dikembe Mutombo played defense at a level and with a flair that few others in basketball history ever possessed, all among the many reasons why hes immortalized in the Hall of Fame.
On the court, he stopped people.
Off the court, he helped people.
In simplest terms, that is the legacy of Mutombo, the 7-foot-2 mountain of a center who died Monday, about two years after his family revealed that he was dealing with brain cancer.
Gonzaga set to join rebuilt Pac-12, while UTEP goes to Mountain West Basketball powerhouse Gonzaga will become the latest member of the rebuilt Pac-12 Conference.
The school announced the move on Tuesday.
Gonzaga will move from the West Coast Conference where it has dominated for most of the last quarter century into a conference that was being rebuilt around football, but should be pretty stout on the basketball court.
Adding Gonzaga still leaves the Pac-12 in need of another football-playing member for CFP purposes.
Meanwhile, UTEP has agreed to join the Mountain West.
Jared Goff sets NFL record completing all 18 of his passes in Lions' 42-29 win over Seahawks DETROIT (AP) Jared Goff threw a perfect game, setting an NFL record by completing all 18 of his passes to help the Detroit Lions beat the Seattle Seahawks 42-29 Monday night.
Goff had a touchdown reception for the first time in his career, catching a pass from Amon-Ra St.
Brown.
He also threw one of his two touchdown passes to the All-Pro receiver.
Goff and St.
Brown are the eighth duo in league history to throw and catch a touchdown from each other.
Kurt Warner had the previous NFL mark for the passes without an incompletion for Arizona against Houston in 2005.
Shohei Ohtani and the MLB playoffs, a pairing the world will experience for the 1st time LOS ANGELES (AP) Shohei Ohtani spent the last six years going home in October.
Now, the Japanese superstar will be taking baseball's biggest stage when the Los Angeles Dodgers open the NL Division Series later this week.
Leaving the losing Los Angeles Angels and signing a record $700 million, 10-year deal with the Dodgers last December changed everything for Ohtani and the franchise.
He's not the only one cashing in.
The Ohtani effect has boosted the Dodgers' coffers, with thousands of Japanese visiting the stadium to see him, and raised ticket prices in the secondary market while allowing Major League Baseball to pump out souvenirs commemorating Ohtani's 50 homers and 50 stolen bases in a season.
Will anyone hit 74 homers? Even Aaron Judge thinks MLB season record is 'a little untouchable' What used to be one of baseballs most magical numbers 61 home runs now sits buried, eight lines deep, in the Major League Baseball record book.
The number now at the top of that record book 73 home runs is steeped in a steroid-addled purgatory.
These days, breaking that record is more of a wild-eyed aspiration than a realistic goal in a game that has largely been cleaned up and transformed.
Baseball has returned to being more relevant on the sports landscape in 2024 but it has little to do with what used to drive these sort of surges in popularity notably, the sort of home run chases that dominated the headlines almost daily in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
MLB's season turns to October competition, where legacies and fortunes can be made Japanese superstar Shohei Ohtani has put up some of the best regular season numbers in baseball history over the past six months.
Bobby Witt Jr.
is a precocious 24-year-old who just won the American League batting title.
Theyve both proven they are excellent at baseball.
Now its time to see if theyre good at October baseball.
Theres little doubt that October competition is a little different.
It all starts on Tuesday when the Tigers-Astros, Royals-Orioles, Mets-Brewers and Braves-Padres begin their best-of-three Wild Card Series.
Stephen Curry's gold-medal summer and 'nuit nuit' gesture still resonates as NBA camps open Stephen Curry got the question and didnt even have to think about the answer.
Someone wanted to know what French words that the Golden State Warriors star picked up during his gold-medal experience at the Paris Olympics this summer.
Nuit nuit, Curry said.
Of course.
The hottest basketball move in the world this summer wasnt a crossover dribble, or a stepback jumper, or some sort of no-look pass.
It was the summer of night night, Currys signature hands-to-the-side-of-the-face gesture that he broke out famously at the end of USA Basketball's gold-medal win in Paris.
