Sounds Like Everyone Should Lay Off That Cubs Fan Who "Stole" A Baseball From A Kid
Sunday outrage gives way to Monday fact-checking. If you were one of the people who (reasonably) got very angry at a short video clip appearing to show an adult Cubs fan intercepting a ball meant for a child, you can stand down. The man, it now appears, is a good guy who does not deserve this at all...

Baseball Child Cannot Be Stopped From Dragging Out His Moment Of Glory
Here we have a lesson from a baseball child on truly committing to the bit. Our slugger, presumably headed in to score a run after some cool-ass baseball heroics, was not having it with instructions to “run as fast as you can” or “move” or “not dunk on the poor blue-uniformed team.” He enjoyed himse...

On Sunday, a cute little girl sitting in the money seats at the Caps playoff game banged on the glass as Brett Connolly skated by.

Bucks Coach Jason Kidd: We're Not Very Good Because Our Players Aren't 25 Yet
