Rich Hill Facts will never stop being entertaining.

In his Major League debut, he was one of the pitchers who relieved Greg Maddux.

In Maddux's Major League debut, the starting CF for the opposing Astros was 41-year-old Davey Lopes, who was born in 1945.

You said you were going after dangerous criminals ?

Now you are taking hard working people off the streets, separating parents from kids, taking people from immigration court who are following the rules, & putting the military on our streets…this isn’t America.

Porzingis really is the Bill Walton of Celtics era — loves and appreciates playing here because he’s seen the other side, special player when health cooperates, health doesn’t cooperate for long. Also: if he’s traded this offseason, he will have played one less game for the Celtics than Walton.

Per Cleveland TV, the person said something to Duran about his suicide attempt. You really have to be an awful person to do that.
There was some sort of ruckus after the inning with Duran and somebody near the Sox dugout. Cora, umpires, teammates all were in the area and Duran was prodded away.

““Dylan Crews!” Aubrey repeated. “Dylan Crews!”

Imagine being a parent to a 7-year-old child who has never spoken. Never said, “Mommy!” Never said, “Daddy!” Never said, “I love you!”

And then one day, completely out of the blue, she says, “Dylan Crews!”“

Shams on SportsCenter on Jayson Tatum's wrist injury:

"He has been diagnosed with a bone bruise in his shooting wrist. It's believed to be a pain-tolerance injury. Something that the Celtics will be managing day-to-day."

He adds Tatum's status for Game 2 tomorrow is "somewhat up in the air."

Breast cancer diagnoses rose by over 300% between 1973 and 1992.

Was there a breast cancer epidemic?!

NO.

Mammograms were implemented for screening in 1976.

PREVALENCE is a function of being able to correctly diagnose something.

This is also about autism.

So, I’m at the Nats game tonight. I’m in Row A of center field. I am specifically in that seat because I’m hoping to catch a homer from Ohtani. That did not happen. However, there were a group of guys behind me who gave me the best laugh I’ve had in ages.

Alex Ovechkin is just one goal from owning the NHL’s career record. And his teammates have been outright focusing on the chase.

There are very few people who don't have a connection to autism, whether in their own family or community. It's also chronically under-diagnosed.

This is ESPN for the good.
