July 13, 2011 Attention, Major League Baseball. We may have just found your next great outfielder.
Monday night's Home Run Derby was won by Yankees' slugger Robinson Cano, but not before he swatted a high fly ball that was caught in truly impressive fashion by one of the kids permitted to play in the outfield.
July 11, 2011 Playing in front of a sold-out hometown crowd on Saturday, Derek Jeter sent his record-setting 3,000th hit deep into left-field, making him the 28th major leaguer and first New York Yankees player to reach the hitting milestone.
And who caught the potentially money-making ball? Christian Lopez, a 23-year-old fan whose girlfriend gave him tickets to the game as a birthday present.
July 8, 2011 Dallas Cowboy wide receiver Roy Williams picked a rather unique way to propose to his girlfriend, Brooke Daniels, who held the title of Miss Texas in 2009.
In February, he sent Daniels a package that included $5,000, a videotaped messages of him popping the question, and a $76,000 engagement ring.
July 5, 2011 Congrats to Philadelphia Eagle's QB Michael Vick who has been resigned by Nike. It’s good news for the Eagles quarterback who lost his major endorsement deals after serving nearly two years behind bars following his involvement in a dogfighting racket.
Forget about the dawn's early light, this Fourth of July is all about the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air and maybe even a couple of spiders. Those are the ones that, well, look kind of like a spider, anyway.

July 1, 2011 NBA players have been locked out after both sides failed to reach a new collective bargaining agreement. The move could put next season on hold. Both sides say they are losing money and can’t agree on a new pact.
We’ve seen some truly horrendous first pitch efforts over the years, from the “what did you expect” dribbler that Mariah Carey uncorked, to the shameful 10-footer that NBA star John Wall recently unleashed.
The crowd at PETCO park in San Diego was treated to the opposite side of that coin Monday, when Cirque du Soleil performer Gabryel Nogueira da Silva was given the task of the ceremonially first pitch.
June 23, 2011 Ballers. Looking for something to do this weekend? Check out the Gus Macker Basketball 3-on 3 basketball tournament happening this Friday and Saturday, June 24th and 25th in downtown Buffalo.
As millions learned Friday, there’s a reason John Wall plays basketball and not baseball.
The Washington Wizards point guard had the honor of throwing out the first pitch at Friday’s game between the Washington Nationals and the Baltimore Orioles.
Unfortunately, his skills on the field weren’t nearly as good as they are on the court, resulting in one of the more awkward first-pitch moments in recent memory.
In many cases, your GPS can be a life saver. In others, it’ll lead your car into a scary neighborhood, the wrong way on a one-way road or worse — into a body of water.
A woman who was using the GPS in her rental car while in Bellevue, Washington learned the hard way that you can’t always trust your GPS.
June 14, 2011 Former New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress is teaming up with the National Urban League and Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence while being mentored by Magic Johnson and Tony Dungy.
June 13, 2011 In game 4 of the NBA finals, Dirk Nowitzki led his Dallas Mavericks team to victory over the Miami Heat, despite suffering from a 101-degree fever and looking visibly sick at times.
It was the kind of performance that sports writers love to wax poetic about. But that didn't impress Heat superstars Dwyane Wade and LeBron James. In fact, right before game 5, a camera caught the duo making fun of Nowitzki's illness by fake coughing and sneezing.
