One of the wildest stories you may read today ⬇️ A couple accidentally showed up to a game with tickets to the next night's game So they bought 2 more tickets and ended up catching Willy Adames' home run ball Then they came back the next night with their original tickets, sitting nearly in the exact same spot as the night before ... Then Adames hit another home run and they caught it AGAIN 🤯

His mom came home from deployment and surprised him at a baseball game 🥹

Honoring the men and women who proudly serve our country home and abroad. #ArmedForcesDay

Jinx? What jinx? Since Pete Crow-Armstrong's cover on our May-June 2026 issue went on sale Monday at all Barnes and Noble outlets, the Cubs posted 3 straight walk-off wins against the Reds--most against the same team since 1943--and increased their win steak at home to 14 games.

@AmoreCourant No. He never even acknowledged they were swing in front of his face. It was like it never happened.

@BaseballDigest In fact, the way I heard it, he kept swatting the oxygen mask out of his way.

BD Editor Rick Cerrone: One of my favorite memories of John was him reading a book across the aisle from me on a Yankees flight. When the plane hit severe turbulence, all the oxgen masks dropped. John never flinched. He just kept reading, the mask swinging in front of him.
