These A's Fans Give Me Hope
When a foul ball settles in a hard-to-reach spot and is beset upon by more than one fan, bad things usually happen.

When we supposed what a Gianni Infantino FIFA presidency would look like back when he won the office in February, we saw visions of a celebrity-friendly, photo op-ready, travel-loving, money-giving, but basically powerless tenure. In some ways, this has been borne out already in his still-budding te...
