Tuesday’s 6-pack:
Major league teams with the most home runs:
86— Bronx
82— Dodgers
78— Cubs
77— Angels
73— Diamondbacks
70— Mariners
Quote of the Day
“I can see when someone is getting uncomfortable. They’ll start calling for screens and they want the screener to take my head off. That’s the point where I’m like, ‘Oh yeah, I got it. He don’t like me.'”
Oklahoma City’s defensive ace Luguentz Dort
Tuesday’s quiz
In the history of the Oakland A’s (since 1968), who has the most saves?
Monday’s quiz
Since 2008, Ronald Acuna’s 73 stolen bases in 2023 are the most steals by a player in one season.
Sunday’s quiz
Baseball Hall of Famer Todd Helton was the quarterback at Tennessee before Peyton Manning.
******************************************
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 40 points, 10 rebounds, nine assists.
Thunder held Julius Randle to 7 points, on 1-5 shooting.
Oklahoma City trailed for only 36 seconds the whole game.
Thunder leads series 3-1; Game 5 is Wednesday night in Oklahoma.
— College sports have gone off the rails; 6-3 G PJ Haggerty signed on with Kansas State, and will get paid $2.5M there next season.
This has been Haggerty’s college career:
2022-23- TCU 22-13, only played in six games
2023-24- Tulsa 16-15
2024-25- Memphis 29-6, lost in first round of NCAA’s as a #5-seed
2025-26- Kansas State
I’m waiting for him to transfer during a TV timeout from one bench to the other during the game.
— Green Bay Packers’ QB Jordan Love threw out the first pitch before the Red Sox-Brewers game in Milwaukee Monday. Love is 19-17 as an NFL starter, 1-2 in playoff games. This will be his third season as Green Bay’s starting QB.
— Former New Orleans Saints’ coach Jim Mora Sr turned 90 recently; he still lifts weights twice a week, for 85 minutes at a time. They posted videos of it; pretty impressive.
— Las Vegas Raiders signed punter AJ Cole to a 4-year, $15.8M contract, making him the highest-paid punter in the NFL. Last year, Cole averaged 50.8 yards per punt, second best in the NFL, and had 27 punts downed inside the 20-yard line.
— Tampa Bay Ray hitters have gone 73 games since last time one of them got an intentional walk; Barry Bonds was once walked intentionally 73 times in a 72-game span.
— Why only 12 major league baseball games on Memorial Day? Would think that Memorial Day, 4th of July and Labor Day would be full schedules, since everyone has the day off.
— If you ever watched the TV show Duck Dynasty, the patriarch of the Robertson family, Phil Robertson, passed away this weekend, at age 79.
Phil Robertson played college football at Louisiana Tech, starting ahead of future Hall of Fame QB Terry Bradshaw in 1966 and 1967. He got really rich when he created/patented the Duck Commander duck call, a kazoo-like instrument used by duck hunters.
Duck Dynasty was on TV from 2012-17, made the family famous and a lot wealthier. It was a quirky and funny show.

It is important to be strong on defense up the middle.
Catcher. 2nd base, Shortstop. Center field.
In this day and age, I’m not sure teams value defense as much; some teams put a shaky defensive guy in the outfield, to get more offense in the lineup. I’m guessing pitchers must get steamed when balls become hits that should’ve been outs.
