⚾ Baseball HOFer Dave Parker Passes Away |
Pirates legend and newly-minted Baseball Hall of Famer Dave “The Cobra” Parker passed away at age 74 after a lengthy battle with Parkinson’s disease.
Known for his dominant 1970s run—highlighted by an MVP in 1978, consecutive batting titles, a World Series crown in 1979, three Gold Gloves, and seven All-Star nods—Parker wrapped his career with a .290 average, 339 homers, and 1,493 RBIs over 19 seasons.
Elected to Cooperstown this past December by the Classic Era Committee, he was slated to be formally inducted on July 27—just weeks away—when the announcement was made during a moment of silence prior to Saturday's Pirates game.
The baseball world mourns a five-tool talent whose larger-than-life swagger and arm cannon made him a true icon of his era. | 🏀 Cavaliers Acquire G Lonzo Ball |
The Cavaliers are reportedly acquiring guard Lonzo Ball from the Bulls in a straight-up swap for Isaac Okoro, pending the July 6 formalities.
At 27, Ball brings elite playmaking, size (6′6″), and tenacious defense—precisely the backcourt depth Cleveland needs after last season’s postseason struggles.
Though his knee history remains a concern (he missed two full seasons), his contract is team-friendly and gives the Cavs flexibility—an aggressive, calculated move to support a deep playoff push. | 🏎️ Chase Elliott Wins Atlanta With Last-Lap Pass |
Chase Elliott pulled off a heart‑pounding, last‑lap pass on Brad Keselowski to claim the Quaker State 400 at EchoPark Speedway on Saturday night, marking his first win of 2025 and snapping a 44-race drought.
With a perfect push from teammate Alex Bowman, Elliott darted inside Keselowski in Turn 1, crossing the line just 0.168 seconds ahead amid a night filled with 46 lead changes and 10 cautions. Watch finish.
The victory—his 20th career Cup win and a hometown celebration for the Georgia native—locks him into the playoffs and delivers a fairy‑tale finish with a paint scheme designed by a pediatric cancer patient.
Mentally spent and overjoyed, Elliott captured the moment saying, “I’ve never in my life…this is unbelievable,” basking in a win sure to linger in memory for years to come. |
