tails about the docu ments or what informa tion they might contain. In a statement Friday, Trump claimed that the documents seized by agents at his Florida club were “all declassi fied,” and argued that he would have turned over the documents to the Justice Department if Whileasked. incumbent presidents have the power to declassify information, that au thority lapses as soon as they leave office and it was not clear if the documents in question have ever been declas sified. Trump also kept possession of the docu ments despite multiple requests from agencies, including the National Archives, to turn over presidential records in accordance with federal law.The decision wheth er to unseal the records lay with U.S. Magis trate Judge Bruce Re inhart, the same judge who signed off on the search warrant. Attor ney General Merrick Garland declared there was “substantial public interest in this matter,” and Trump backed the warrant’s “immediate” release. The Justice De partment told the judge Friday afternoon that Trump’s lawyers did not object to the proposal to make it public. In messages post ed on his Truth Social platform, Trump wrote, “Not only will I not op pose the release of doc uments ... I am going a step further by EN COURAGING the im mediate release of those documents.”Trumphimself has been given at least some of the records the gov ernment was seeking to unseal, but he and his lawyers have declined, so far, to make them public.The Justice Depart ment’s request is strik ing because such doc uments traditionally remain sealed during a pending investigation. But the department appeared to recognize that its silence since the search had created a vacuum for bitter ver bal attacks by Trump and his allies, and that the public was entitled to the FBI’s side about what prompted Mon day’s action at the for mer president’s home. “The public’s clear and powerful interest in understanding what occurred under these circumstances weighs heavily in favor of un sealing,” said a motion filed in federal court in Florida on Thursday. Should the warrant be released, it could disclose unflattering in formation about Trump and about FBI scrutiny of his handling of sen sitive government doc uments right as he pre pares for another run for the White House. During his successful 2016 campaign, he point ed frequently to an FBI investigation into his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton, over whether she mishan dled classified informa tion.If is unclear at this point how much infor mation would be includ ed in the documents, if made public, or if they would encompass an FBI affidavit that would presumably lay out a detailed factual basis for the search. The de partment specifically requested the unsealing of the warrant as well as a property receipt listing the items that were seized, along with two unspecified attach ments.Several news organi zations have separately petitioned Reinhart to release all of the doc uments relating to the search given the high level of public interest. To obtain a search warrant, federal au thorities must prove to a judge that probable cause exists to believe that a crime was com mitted. Garland said he personally approved the warrant, a decision he said the department did not take lightly giv en that standard prac tice where possible is to select less intrusive tactics than a search of one’s home. In this case, accord ing to a person familiar with the matter, there was substantial engage ment with Trump and his representatives pri or to the search war rant, including a sub poena for records and a visit to Mar-a-Lago a couple of months ago by FBI and Justice De partment officials to as sess how the documents were stored. The person was not authorized to discuss the matter by name and spoke on con dition of Neitheranonymity.Trump nor the FBI has said any thing about what doc uments the FBI might have recovered, or what precisely agents were looking for. FBI and Justice Department policy cautions against dis cussing ongoing inves tigations, both to pro tect the integrity of the inquiries and to avoid unfairly maligning someone who is being scrutinized but winds up ultimately not being charged. That’s espe cially true in the case of search warrants, where supporting court papers are routinely kept secret as the inves tigation proceeds.

KHARKIV, Ukraine — If you wonder why the United States should keep support ing Ukraine, let me describe my recent visit to Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city and long the cultural and aca demic capital of the country. In May, Ukrainian soldiers drove the Russian military back from the city, which is only 25 miles from the Rus sian border. Yet the Russians still shell Kharkiv and its suburbs nightly (and some times by day) from across the border. They specifically tar get civilian infrastructure: hospitals, schools, universi ties, apartment towers, and municipal buildings, driving half the population of 1.5 million out of the city. When I checked into my small hotel in the city cen ter, the manager told me: “If you hear booms at night, just ignore them. But if the ho tel shakes, go to the shelter.” This is the norm. Kharkiv looks eyeless, every store and office build ing boarded up, at least on the lower stories. The broad center city boulevards are al most empty — except for the occasional trolley car — and pedestrians are scarce. Yet the city, once known for its lovely parks and riverside walkway, its universities, museums, theaters, writers, and cafes full of students, re fuses to Vladimirdie. Putin’s brutal effort to destroy Kharkiv is a warning to Europe and to America: The Russian dic tator’s thirst for territorial conquest must be stopped — before it expands beyond Ukraine.People who stay in Kharkiv are ferociously loyal to the city and determined to de fend it. Strangers talk to each other as if they are part of a special society, and hugging frequently replaces hand shakes.Most locals are doing some kind of vol unteer work, like packag ing food and clothing rehouseingbrainstormarecalarebusinessesthoughedtoraisingresidentsbombed-outfororfundshelpwoundsoldiers.Almostclosed,lomerchantsalreadyonhowtotens of thousands of citizens whose dwellings were destroyed by the Rus sians — if and when this con flictButends.those who must keep the city — and its education system — running have to face brutal new challenges daily.“Today is a hard day be cause we have seen Russian strikes on people who are go ing to work,” I was told by the exhausted mayor of Kharkiv, Ihor Terekhov. “They strike exactly when people are get ting on and off the trains.” We met in an Italian restaurant because all of the municipal buildings are damaged and this was one of the few eateries that remains open. Terekhov’s face was gray under gray hair and gray stubble. “Every morn ing I go to work to see what has been ruined,” he sighed.

The Russian dictator claimed he invaded Ukraine to protect its Russian speak ers against Ukrainian “Na zis.” Yet, as Terekhov point ed out, “Ninety-five percent of Kharkiv residents are Russian speakers.” That in cludes most of the Ukrainian soldiers fighting on the front lines.He added: “Every fourth citizen of Kharkiv has rela tives in Russia.

A6 Professors of political sci ence are in a unique position to not only impart academic knowledge, but to build better citizens. I give students the trust, resources, engagement, and invitations they need to participate. Then I encourage them to put those civic skills into action. I teach my students how to think, not what to think. Our young people have the opportunity to shape the com munities we live in and in re cent years they have started to participate in droves, espe cially young women. Earlier this year, United WE, an evidence-based, non partisan organization dedi cated to unlocking women’s economic and civic leader ship, released new research that illuminated progress made by Kansas women but also showed barriers to their economic potential. While several issues impact wom en’s ability to fully partici pate in the workforce, barri ers to childcare stands out as a pressing issue in Kansas that even garnered national attention.InKansas, about 29% of a working mother’s salary is spent on childcare costs alone, making Kansas child care costs as a percentage of salary one of the highest in the country. Kansas women also represent a higher share of the labor force than the rest of the country, however, the gender earnings gap is wider in Kansas. For Kansas wom en, 73.5% are employed while only 69.6% of U.S. women participate in the labor force. Women in Kansas earned 78 cents for every dollar earned by a Kansas man in 2020. In addition to the research report, United WE has been hosting a Town Hall Series across the state that is listen ing to Kansas women and al lies share their stories about barriers they’ve faced in the workplace. The research statistics are compelling, but real-life stories provide eye-opening insights into of ten unspoken challenges:
fensive against Kharkiv. “Fifty-three of our medi cal institutions have suffered from missile hits,” Terekhov said, “including the biggest maternity hospital. Thirteen universities are in difficult conditions, and 109 out of 200 schools are hit or damaged.” I visited one leafy residen tial neighborhood where a Russian missile had pulver ized a high school. Ironical ly, as former student Bog dan Balaka pointed out to me, the direct strike hit the classrooms where Russian language and literature were taught.Russia’s deliberate effort to wreck the educational sys tem in Kharkiv is particular ly vile because of the city’s place as a historic hub of both Russian and Ukrainian culture.

The influx comes from a $1 tril lion infrastructure law backed by President Joe Biden, which provided an additional $7.5 bil lion over five years for theTransportationgrants. Sec retary Pete Buttigieg said the projects would help modernize Ameri ca’s transportation sys tems.“This is a program that recognizes many of the most interesting and compelling ideas and designs and plans aren’t going to come from Washington, but more of the funding should,” Buttigieg said. “That’s what we’re de liveringButtigieghere.”traveled to Arizona to highlight projects in Phoenix and Tucson, each of which are receiving the max imum $25 million.

The
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) — Patrick Mahomes will start the Kansas City Chiefs’ preseason opener in Chicago on Saturday, bucking a trend across the NFL of coaches sitting their starting quarterbacks for the first of their three exhibition games. Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Thursday he would stick to his usual routine of having each of the four quarterbacks in camp play for a quarter of the preseason opener. And while he acknowledged the number of snaps could change based on the way the game is going, Reid thinks it’s important for everybody — stars and backups alike — to get onto the field. “I think it’s good to get the juices going, get yourself out there, even if it’s a limited amount of plays,” Reid said after the Chiefs wrapped up Thursday’s practice at Missouri Western State University.“I’m not saying it’s wrong what others are doing,” Reid said. “That’s just where I’m at.”The Raiders sat Derek Carr and the Jaguars played without Trevor Lawrence in last week’s Hall of Fame Game, though that’s typical given the game occurs a week earlier than the rest of the preseason openers. But plenty of teams are choosing to sit their starting quarterbacks this week, too, rather than risk an injury by subjecting them to unnecessary hits. The Patriots planned to sit Mac Jones for their preseason opener against the Giants on Thursday night, when the Ravens were expected to have Lamar Jackson wearing a headset rather than a helmet

“My older brother rode bulls so when I was around three years old we went to this rodeo and he put me on a sheep. When I hit the ground, I got up and I wanted to do it again. Ever since then he’s worked with me all the way up. He would ride the bulls and I would ride sheep. When I got too big they had a junior division, I would ride calves then steers,” said Lamb. While a student at Fort Scott Community College, Lamb learned more about bull riding. The school has a rodeo team and is a part of the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association (NIRA). Lamb likes the camaraderie of the sport. Team members travel to rodeos together and share their experiences.“You’ve got your family and then you have your rodeo family. We all support each other and we’re constantly hollering at each other while we’re riding.

Subtly and organically enough, though, through the afternoon a compelling broader dynamic and narrative emerged that will forever bind together the Class of ‘22. And that through line is embodied and animated by one in particular. The “linchpin,” Hall of Fame executive Jon Shestakofsky said, was Buck O’Neil, whose Hall of Fame plaque he was preparing on Wednesday to handle with care en route to Kansas City for public display on Friday at the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. The plaque, and the treasured essence for which it stands, also can be seen Saturday at Kauffman Stadium before the Royals play the Los Angeles Dodgers in their annual Salute to the Negro Leagues game. After being highlighted in a pre-game ceremony, it will be moved to the Royals Hall of Fame so fans can see it up close during the(Alsogame.Saturday, in commemoration of the 75th anniversary of Jackie Robinson breaking the so-called “gentlemen’s agreement” color barrier with the then-Brooklyn Dodgers, the Dodgers will wear uniforms from the Robinson era; the Royals will be clad in 1945 Kansas City Monarchs jerseys to celebrate the crucial year Robinson played for them on the way to makingIfhistory.)itseems like quite a gesture so soon after Buck was inducted at last and that maybe we could get used to this, it also could be that it’s now or

IN THIS case, there’s more to it than even the deep emotions Buck evokes in so many. His plaque will speak to his radiant persona and his life’s work, to be sure. But it also will stand for something more: as a focal point in a class that encapsulates the racial evolution of the game over more than 150 years … and shines a light on the way that tracks with ourThat’sculture.what has been resounding with Shestakofsky and what struck Negro Leagues Baseball Museum president Bob Kendrick deeply during the July 24 ceremony: the way this class converges to illustrate the tale of baseball and race in America and thus in itself orbits the NLBM. Kendrick had been cognizant enough of it, of course, through three members of the class: Buck, the poet laureate of the Negro Leagues, if not baseball itself, among his other distinctions; Minnie Minoso, the Cuban-born former Negro Leagues player who in 1949 with Cleveland became widely known as the “Latino Jackie Robinson;” and Bud Fowler, a pre-Negro Leagues (born in 1858) pioneer of Black baseball.But the depth and breadth of the entwinement didn’t all really hit Kendrick until Dave Winfield was presenting Fowler, a Cooperstown native who also fleetingly played on some integrated teams in the last 19thFowler’sCentury. endless barnstorming and roving of the country to play baseball included, via Royals Hall of Fame director Curt Nelson per the Society of American Baseball Research (SABR), managing a Black team called … the Kansas City Stars (!). While on that job, Fowler told the Cincinnati Enquirer in 1905, according to Hall of Fame research, “Some of these days, a few people with nerve enough to take the chance will form a colored league of about eight cities and pull off a barrel of money.” So, as Winfield put it, there is an “unmistakable line that you can follow from Bud Fowler to Andrew ‘Rube’ Foster, who created the Negro Leagues in 1920, to Jackie Robinson in 1947 and through other inductees we celebrate here today.”Aline that even includes Buck being among those who spoke at the site of Fowler’s previously unmarked grave in 1987 (74 years after his death at 54) at a SABR-driven service to install a headstone memorializing Fowler at Oak View Cemetery in Frankfort, N.Y. A line that entwined Robinson with 2022 inductee Gil Hodges, whose relationship with Robinson was so tenderly presented by Hodges’ daughter Irene. Citing Robinson’s well-known credo that “a life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives,” she spoke of how her father lived that … and of how he welcomed and championed Robinson when he joined the Dodgers in 1947.“Nothing was more important to my dad than giving Jackie all of his support,” she said, noting how the families bonded and adding, “My dad made everyone feel comfortable and accepting of Jackie when he came to the big leagues.”
Buck: We waited far too long for O’Neil’s HOF induction
THE LINES extend internationally, too. Start with the underappreciated influence of Minoso, who spent three seasons with the New York Cubans of the Negro Leagues before being signed by Cleveland in 1948 and becoming a nine-time All-Star. His success, Shestakofsky said, “broke down barriers for darkskinned Latinos … and opened the door for so many more.” Or as Kendrick put it: His role was “equally profound for what he gave to the game and as a symbol of hope for so many Afro-Latino players in Evenparticular.”withinthis very group.You can see the thread from Minoso to Tony Oliva, who grew up in Cuba idolizing Minoso like so many others whose imaginations he captured. And from there on to Dominican-born David Ortiz — who had a strong relationship with Oliva in the Twins organization before finding his way to stardom in Boston from 2003-16.Thousands of Dominicans were in the crowd that day in Cooperstown, reflecting the long-term sway of not only Minoso but at least on some level the influence of Negro Leagues players on the growth of the game in LatinFindingAmerica.iteasier to be accepted and more lucrative to play in foreign countries than here, after all, many of the Negro Leagues stars barnstormed or played winter league baseball in Cuba, the Dominican, Mexico, Venezuela and elsewhere.“TheDominican Republic is a place that the Negro Leagues called home for so many years,” Kendrick said, “and in many ways taught (Ortiz’s) ancestors that brand of baseball that became so paign.Buck”itsNLBMplaquetheenough,Serendipitouslyprevalent.”thisclassanddeliveryoftheallcomesastheislaunching“ThanksAMillion,fundraisingcam-
BUT WHILE having the plaque here is foremost another celebration of Buck, it’s also testament to the way he towers in the center of so much and is entwined with so many — including in this distinct way with most of his classmates in a group that also included Jim Kaat, Oliva’s teammate with thePrettyTwins.fitting for a man who used to like to say this about his adopted“Ihometown:knewIwas coming to the Heart of America; I didn’t know I was coming to the center of the universe.”Justlike the NLBM, aka “the House that Buck“Thisbuilt.”place,” Kendrick said, “it connects so many dots in so many differentMeanwhile,ways.”the soul of this class also dovetails nicely with the National Baseball Hall of Fame’s ongoing Black Baseball Initiative, which includes revamping its main related exhibit developed in 1997. The game has made ample strides in the context of race since then, including MLB’s recognition in late 2020 of the Negro Leagues as major leagues and MLB moving the 2021 All-Star Game out of Atlanta to Colorado after Georgia authorized a restrictive new voting law. At that All-Star Game, noted Richard Lapchick, president of the Institute for Sport and Social Justice, “MLB announced a 10year partnership with a historic financial commitment of up to $150 million to The Players Alliance, beginning in 2023. This pledge represents the largest financial commitment in MLB history toward the specific goal of improving Black diversity on the field, in managerial and coaching positions, and in front office leadership.”Thevery fact that’s necessary, of course, is a reminder of hiring and promotion issues that remain in place. To say nothing of challenges that have surfaced over the last few decades: 2022 opening-day rosters and inactive lists featured 275 players from 21 different countries and territories outside of the United States, according to The Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sports directed by Lapchick at the University of Central Florida. Players of color accounted for 38% of active rosters, most of whom were among the 28.5% of Latino players in the game.
So 75 years after Robinson integrated baseball and helped change America, Black players represented only 7.2% of roster spots. That’s the lowest percentage since the tracking of that data began in 1991 when 18% were Black, and it’s a story in itself to continue studying. But it’s also another element of the important story we know is being told at the NLBM and that we are freshly reminded is reiterated in Cooperstown — both through the Class of ‘22 and the hall’s work to open a deeper and modernized exhibit on the topic in Particularly2024. when it comes to race, Shestakofsky said, “Baseball has in some senses mirrored what’s happened in America, what American society has gone through. In some ways it’s led the way. “But there are always parallels between what’s happening in baseball and what’s happening in America. This sport and this country have grown up side by side … And these individuals that we celebrate in 2022, each of them can help us better understand this country’s own history and who we are as a society.” With Buck, as he put it, “kind of in the middle of it all.” At the heart of it, you might even say.

One way or another: She shared a story she’d recently been told about her father taking on those heckling Robinson, no doubt with racist language, from an opposing dugout. “He went to the top step of the dugout and said, ‘If anyone else has anything to say, let them come out here right now,’ ” she said. “Needless to say, no one came out and no one said another word.” On the day of her father’s funeral in 1972, she said, Robinson “cried uncontrollably” and told the Hodges family that next to his son’s death (in a car accident the year before) Gil Hodges’ death was the worst day of his life.

DYERSVILLE, Iowa (AP) — Egypt. Australia. A hot dog place in Pennsylvania. A junior college in Chicago. If Major League Baseball is looking for another place for a game, oh man, do we have some fun ideas. The second “Field of Dreams” game is Thursday night in the cornfields of eastern Iowa, near the site of the beloved 1989 movie. The Chicago Cubs play the Cincinnati Reds after the 2021 game — a wild 9-8 victory for the Chicago White Sox against the New York Yankees — was a smashing success. But Major League Baseball wants to wait before making a decision on a third “Field of Dreams” date. It has been in contact with multiple cities about future games — including Evansville, Indiana, about Bosse Field, where parts of the 1992 movie “A League of Their Own” were filmed — and it has an internal working group examining the possibilities.Inthe meantime, The Associated Press asked several sports and entertainment figures where they would take a major league game if they had a choice, and they responded with sites all over the world.

The connection to home was a recurring theme.Bonnie Hunt, an actor and lifelong Cubs fan, suggested Wilbur Wright College near where she grew up in her hometown of Chicago.“I would do it there because I remember my dad hitting the ball out for us seven kids out in the outfield, me and my six siblings, and we’d run and get the ball,” said Hunt, the writer, director and showrunner for “ Amber Brown,” a new series on Apple TV+. “My dad would throw the ball up in the air and hit it himself. And that would be my ‘Field of Dreams’ ... to go back to the old neighborhood and be with all the kids I grew up Clevelandwith.”
ONE TrIP $4 .99 ALl YoU CAN EaT $6.99 TO GO $5.99 Bill Russell’s No. 6 jersey is being retired across the NBA, a first for the league. The NBA and the National Basketball Players Association announced Thursday that the number worn by the 11-time champion, civil rights activist and person good enough to be enshrined in the Basketball Hall of Fame as both a player and a coach was being permanently retired by all 30 teams.“Bill Russell’s unparalleled success on the court and pioneering civil rights activism deserve to be honored in a unique and historic way,” NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said. “Permanently retiring his No. 6 across every NBA team ensures that Bill’s transcendent career will always be recognized.”Players who currently wear No. 6 — including the Los Angeles Lakers’ LeBron James — may continue doing so. But the number cannot be issued again, the league said. All NBA players will wear a patch on the right shoulder of their jerseys this season, the league said, and every NBA court will display a clover-shaped logo with the No. 6 on the sideline near the scorer’sThetable.Boston Celtics have “separate and unique recognition for him on their uniforms” planned, the NBA said. Russell died on July 31 at the age of 88. He was the most prolific winner in NBA history, an 11-time champion during a 13-year career — winning the last two of those titles as a player-coach — and the first Black coach in any of the major U.S. pro sports to win a championship.He marched with Martin Luther King Jr., stood with Muhammad Ali and received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Barack Obama. And having his number retired leaguewide puts him in a very exclusiveMajorclub.League Baseball permanently retired No. 42 — in honor of Jackie Robinson, who broke the big league’s color barrier — with the understanding that those who were wearing that number could continue to do so. Mariano Rivera of the New York Yankees was the last in the majors to wear No. 42, doing so through his final season in 2013. The NHL, upon Wayne Gretzky’s retirement in 1999, said his No. 99 would be retired leaguewide in honor of that sport’s all-time scoring leader. And now, Russell gets the same treatment. It also seems fitting that he and Robinson — both barrier-breakers — are linked again. Russell called Robinson a hero, once saying that “he showed me the way to be a man in professional Robinson,sports.” clearly, held Russell in high esteem as well. Rachel Robinson, his widow, asked Russell to be a pallbearer at her husband’s funeral in 1972. “This is a momentous honor reserved for one of the greatest champions to ever play the game,” NBPA Executive Director Tamika Tremaglio said. “Bill’s actions on and off the court throughout the course of his life helped to shape generations of players for the better and for that, we are forever grateful. We are proud to continue the celebration of his life and legacy alongside the league.”There have been more than 250 players in NBA history to wear a No. 6 jersey, including 24 who did so in at least one game last season — most notably, James, who has alternated between 6 and 23 throughout his NBANobodycareer.has worn No. 6 for the Celtics since Russell’s final season, 1968-69.Russell is one of 12 players currently enshrined in the Basketball Hall of Fame who wore No. 6 at at least some point in their careers. The others: Julius Erving, Patrick Ewing, Ben Wallace, Don Barksdale, Chuck Cooper, Larry Costello, Tom Gola, Cliff Hagan, Alex Hannum, Buddy Jeanette and Neil Johnston.
John Thorn, Major League Baseball’s official historian, wants to return to Egypt. Not only did major leaguers play a February 1889 game near the pyramids, but the earliest record of a bat-and-ball game — seker-hemat, played by Egyptian pharaohs — is from a wall relief in an Egyptian“Suchtemple.agame played today would be doubly important as Egypt is not only the cradle of civilization but also the cradle of baseball,” Thorn said in an email. Chicago White Sox closer Liam Hendriks wanted to play a game in his native Australia. “Ideally, I’d like to take it to Baseball Park in Perth because that’s where I grew up playing,” Hendriks said. “Especially in Perth, we don’t really get anyone on that coast very often, so being able to take it there would be a treat for everybody involved.”The Los Angeles Dodgers and Arizona Diamondbacks opened the 2014 season in Australia, with the Dodgers sweeping a pair of games at Sydney Cricket ActorGround.Michael Imperioli decided on Rome because he said it’s his favorite city in the world. But he wasn’t sure how it would be received.“They love basketball there and obviously soccer,” he said. “But I don’t know if baseball translates so well. Although it would be pretty fun to do it there.” Pretty fun, indeed.

Guardians manager Terry Francona had a similar thought, but with a twist. Francona and his father, Tito, another former major leaguer, both grew up in New Brighton, Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh. Terry Francona, 63, wants to play in his hometown — because of Brighton Hot Dog Shoppe.“Hot dogs after the game,” a grinning Francona said. “Before andLikeafter.”Francona, Phoenix Mercury guard Diamond DeShields also has strong family ties to baseball.

They agreed in February to settle the remainder for $22 million to be split into individual amounts proposed by the players. In addition, the settlement calls for the U.S. Soccer Federation to establish a fund with $2 million to benefit the players in their post-soccer careers and charitable efforts aimed at growing the sport for women.Klausner wrote the parties agreed that settlement funds will be distributed to players based on playing time and their lawyers anticipated requesting “no more than approximately 30% of the common fund.”The settlement was contingent on the USSF reaching collective bargaining agreements to pay its men’s and women’s teams equally.

DYERSVILLE, Iowa (AP) — Standing among rows of Iowa cornstalks, Nico Hoerner had Johnny Bench on his left and Billy Williams right next to “Prettyhim. incredible,” Hoerner said. For sure. Even for a “Field of Dreams.” Led by Drew Smyly and a 10-hit attack, the Chicago Cubs beat the Cincinnati Reds 4-2 on Thursday night in Major League Baseball’s second “Field of Dreams” game. Nick Madrigal had three hits for Chicago in a throwback ballpark a short walk away from the main field for the 1989 movie. Smyly (5-6) pitched five scoreless innings and Ian Happ had two hits, including an RBI double that drove in Hoerner during a fast start for the“TheCubs.atmosphere was amazing,” Chicago manager David Ross said. “Really cool event.”

The night began with Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr. and his father emerging from the iconic outfield cornstalks for their own version of a memorable scene from the film, delighting the sellout crowd of 7,823. “Hey dad, do you wanna have a catch,” Junior said.“I’d like that,” Senior said.The Griffeys then played catch as more parents and children joined them on the field with their own balls and gloves, followed by the Cubs and Reds, dressed in special uniforms inspired by how the franchises looked in the early 20th Williamscentury.and Bench were among a group of Hall of Famers from each franchise that also joined the festivities.

Then you’re good to go.” Mahomes threw only two passes in last year’s preseason opener against San Francisco before giving way to backup Chad Henne and the rest of the Kansas City quarterbacks. Mahomes had more extensive time in the second and third games. When there was a four-game preseason schedule, he usually played the first three before sitting out the finale.“It’ll be good this time to get in there with the new group of receivers we have, all the new running backs, and show how we do it in the game,” Mahomes said. “We’re doing it here in practice but we want to show how we do it in the game.”Reid said his quarterbacks will be accompanied by their respective line on the depth chart, meaning Mahomes will play with the starting offense before Henne takes over with the backups. Shane Buechele and Dustin Crum will finish things out. “It’s definitely about getting into rhythm. It’s getting into the game, seeing how the clock is running — everything in the game speeds up,” Mahomes explained. “So the guys need to think, execute, show off their talent. It’s going to be important to be in the game and see how all these guys do.”
NOTES: DE Frank Clark missed practice with an illness. DB Zayne Anderson (shoulder), WR Greg Jennings and OT Lucas Niang (knee) also remained out. WR Omar Bayless left early when his lower back tightened up. ... TE Jody Fortson returned after hurting his quad earlier in camp. The plan is to slowly get him up to speed. ... Andy Reid said he’s looking forward to getting DT Danny Shelton in camp after the Chiefs agreed to a contract with him this week. The 345-pound Shelton has not been added to the official roster yet. “I think we’ll get a lot out of him,” Reid said. “He’s a big guy. There’ll be a lot of him here.”

of the sudden by the end of the trip you are best friends,” saidLambLamb.belongs to two bull riding associations, the BRI, Bull Riding Inc., and the PRCA, the Professional Rodeo Cattle Association. Each plays a role and sponsors events for bull riders. “The NFR (National Finals Rodeo) is a 10-day long rodeo in Las Vegas, that’s part of the PRCA and it’s huge, it’s all over,” Lamb said. Lamb hopes to compete at the NFR in Las Vegas in the coming years which is one of his dreams. This is the biggest single competition in the United States and would put Lamb on the map for professional bull-riders. To achieve this dream Lamb said he will certainly have to get more serious about his bull riding. “I want to make the NFR within the next three years, that’s my goal. To reach that I’m going to have to think about bull riding more as a priority than a hobby so I’ve got to take it more seriously,” said Lamb. “You’ve also got to have fun, relax and enjoy it but you’ve also got to put your work in, you’ve got to work out, think about it, fix the little stuff you’re doing wrong.”Lamb said his favorite part about bull riding is the rush he gets when mounted on the bull as well as the people he meets. As far as getting injured or thrown by a bull in the ring, he says he can’t worry about it and can only focus on what he can control. “Everybody gets hurt, it’s going to happen, I just think it’s how you come back from it and can’t let it get in your head. It’s just nerves but I feel like you’ve just got to block that out and think about what you’re going to do. If you think about getting hurt, you’re going to get hurt.”
Lamb: Bull-riding talents displayed Continued from B1
On a blustery Sunday in the Irish Hills of Michigan, Kevin Harvick saved his season. Grabbing the lead and pulling away after a restart on Lap 166 of 200 at Michigan International Speedway, Harvick won the FireKeepeers Casino 400 by 2.903 seconds over pole winner Bubba Wallace and leapfrogged bubble-riding Martin Truex Jr. in the Cup Series PlayoffHarvick’sstandings.victory ended a 65-race drought for the 46-yearold former series champion from Bakersfield, California. The win was his sixth at Michigan and his fifth in the last seven races at the 2.0-mile track. Harvick now has 59 victories in the series, 10th-most alltime. With the win, the eighth straight at the track for Ford drivers, he is likely to qualify for the NASCAR Cup Series Playoff. Harvick is the only driver to have earned a postseason spot every year since the current elimination format was introduced in 2014, the same year he won his series title. “A lot of things went our way today, which we haven’t had all year long—have things go our way and have things fall our way,” said Harvick, who led 38 laps on Sunday, 25 more than he had led in the previous 22 races combined. “And then there at the end we pitted, didn’t go a lap down, and the caution came out, got control of the race. That’s the thing I struggled with the most today was traffic and the restarts and just having to make up ground. Once I got clear track, that baby wasAshunting.”Harvick indicated, the race broke his way. The driver of the No. 4 Stewart-Haas Racing Ford brought his car to pit road on Lap 158 for a green-flag stop. A lap later, NASCAR called the seventh caution of the afternoon when Ross Chastain’s Chevrolet and Christopher Bell’s Toyota collided in Turn 4. Harvick remained on the lead lap and inherited the top spot when the contending cars ahead of him pitted under the yellow. With Wallace bottled up behind Joey Logano’s Ford after the Lap 166 restart, Harvick opened a gap of more than four seconds in clean air and cruised to his first win since Sept. 19, 2020 at Bristol. Wallace was disconsolate as he replayed the final restart in his“Justhead.replaying everything I could have done,” said Wallace, who led twice for 22 laps. “Took the top there on the restart. Thought I could hang with the 4 (Harvick), and just got to racing the 5 (Kyle Larson) and the 22 (Logano). And 22 did a good job of getting another Ford contract, helping a Ford win. “Just all in all an incredible weekend. Appreciate my team. Wished we could have got Toyota in the Victory Lane. Wish we got (sponsor) McDonald’s back in victory lane. She was fast all week, man. Just I’ll wear this one on my heart for a while. I failed everybody.” Denny Hamlin finished third in arguably the fastest car in the race. On his final pit stop under caution on Lap 160, Hamlin incurred a penalty for too many men over the wall when his crew corralled a runaway tire from an adjacent pit stall.Hamlin restarted 22nd and charged to third, 3.910 seconds behind the race winner. Logano came home fourth, followed by Team Penske teammate Ryan Blaney. Martin Truex Jr., Larson, Erik Jones, Alex Bowman and Ty Gibbs (subbing for injured Kurt Busch) completed the top 10. The race was delayed just over an hour due to inclement weather. That didn’t deter the fans in the grandstands, the largest crowd at Michigan International Speedway since 2016. In addition, infield camping was sold out for the weekend for the first time since 2012. Blaney now leads Truex by 19 points for the final Playoff berth, which will be determined on points if there are no additional unique winners in the next three races. An early nine-car accident in Turn 2 eliminated two of the top five qualifiers—Kyle Busch and Austin Cindric. Moments after a restart on Lap 25, J.J. Yeley’s No. 15 Ford got loose, checked up and turned sideways in the middle of the pack. In the ensuing melee, Cindric’s No. 2 Ford crashed nosefirst into the outside wall and Buch’s No. 18 Toyota also sustained terminal damage. The cars of Yeley, Almirola, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and rookie Harrison Burton also were knocked out of the race. “Just chaos ensued on the restart there, and I don’t know what started it, but the 10 (Almirola) got spun in front of me, and then I got wedged between him and the wall,” said Busch, who had elected to pit on Lap 22 under a competition called because of a rainstorm that delayed the start of the race. “When you get back there, things happen on restarts, especially when you have guys that stayed out and don’t have tires versus those that have four tires. Was not really in a hurry and knew we were coming to stage points in another 40 laps or so and it was going to be a long run to get there—and then we all just crashed.”
