Bill Bidwill Goes Into Arizona Sports Hall Of Fame – AZCardinals.com
Bill Bidwill couldn’t make it to his induction into the Arizona Sports Hall of Fame Wednesday night, but in some ways, that was fitting for the Cardinals owner. “He’s 86, and he’s slowing down, like a lot of 86-year-olds,” his son, Cardinals president Michael Bidwill said during his acceptance for his father . “But if he was here, he’d probably send me up to do this speech anyway.” “Anyone who…
In NASCAR, It’ll Cost $25000 If The Faux Camera Setup In Your Car Isn’t The Correct Weight – Jalopnik
Photo credit: Jared C. Tilton/Getty Images Sometimes, the lesser known racing rules are some of the best. Everyone knows drivers can’t pass for position below the yellow line at Daytona and Talladega in a NASCAR race, but you can bet most people don’t know it’s a $25,000 fine if a “simulated weight” to replace an in-car television camera isn’t heavy enough. The rule is almost funny to think about at…
Another Game 7 Provides a Perfect Ending for the Astros – New York Times
The Astros’ hopes for a Game 7 blowout stalled when the Dodgers quickly lifted starter Yu Darvish, who faced just 10 batters and allowed half of them to score. After that, the pitchers on both sides took over, making for a tense finale, if not a classic, in the first World Series Game 7 ever held at Dodger Stadium, the third-oldest venue in the majors. The Astros had never even…

Houston Strong: Title-Starved Astros Deliver First Championship with World Series Game 7 Win Over Dodgers – Sports Illustrated
It was George Springer who graced the cover of the June 30, 2014 issue of Sports Illustrated that audaciously touted the Astros as 2017 World Series champions, and in Wednesday night’s Game 7 at Dodger Stadium, it was Springer who made that a reality. With his first two two trips to the plate, the 27-year-old centerfielder capped a record-setting offensive performance, chased Dodgers starter Yu Darvish and helped the Astros…

Want to See Some Curling? Ticket Sales Tepid for Pyeongchang Olympics – New York Times
Of course, the Olympics are a TV spectacle above all else, so if the ratings are high most officials will be satisfied. The broadcasters who pay dearly for the rights to show the Games can deftly minimize the glare of empty seats. Still, if a host spends billions of dollars to stage the three-week sporting extravaganza and few people show up it is a bad look. Photo Organizers of the…

Dodgers and Astros Arrive at a Newly Popular Destination: Game 7 – New York Times
For historical resonance, nothing could have topped last year, when the Chicago Cubs won their first championship since 1908 against a Cleveland Indians team that had the second-longest title drought, dating to 1948. That series went seven games, with the Cubs blowing a late lead but prevailing, after a rain delay, in the 10th inning. Now, another Series between two desperate teams has gone all the way. The Dodgers are…
