LOS ANGELES — On Sept. 1, 2010, Freddie Freeman saw his name in the Braves lineup, batting sixth, and almost threw up. It was the 20-year-old’s first game as a big-leaguer, and he was sitting at his locker, staring forward, nervous as could be. Bobby Cox, who was in the last of his 29 seasons as a Hall of Fame manager, walked by with a few words to ease the […]

It took a bit of bad luck that Alex Palou couldn’t overcome, but it also took a race-winning drive by Christian Lundgaard for him to capture the victory Saturday on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course. A caution flag that came out near the end of a green-flag pit cycle had Palou pitting from the lead and restarting near the rear of the field. He never fully recovered, as he […]

There is always baseball happening — almost too much baseball for one person to follow themselves. Don't worry, we're here to help you by figuring out what you missed but shouldn't have. Here are all the best moments from last night in Major League Baseball: Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Jacob Misiorowski always brings the triple-digit heat, but what he did in the opening inning of the team's Friday night matchup against […]

All three National League divisions are chock-full of intrigue. The NL East-leading Braves are one of the surprise stories in MLB as two postseason contenders – the Mets and Phillies – stumbled out the gate. In the NL Central, all five teams are above .500, and it feels like it could be a dogfight through October. In the NL West, it's the Dodgers who rule the roost but don't sleep […]

Now that the NFL Draft is behind us, the bulk of the 2026 NFL offseason is in the books — and it was really one to remember. There were 10 new head coaches hired, the most since 2022. The Arizona Cardinals decided they no longer wanted Kyler Murray, but the Minnesota Vikings deemed him good enough to sign him and allow him to compete with J.J. McCarthy for the starting […]

New York — Time after time, leadership gets passed down. That’s especially true for those that are sponges; not only willing to learn, but eager to lead. Pete Alonso grew up in the big leagues alongside some of the greatest players who have ever stepped on a baseball field. In 2019, even as he slugged his way to 53 home runs and won the National League Rookie of the Year […]

Back in March, on the day Mauricio Pochettino named the United Sates’ penultimate roster before this summer’s FIFA World Cup, I asked the U.S. men’s national team coach how he’d weigh the more consequential decisions looming two months later: if making his 26-player World Cup squad would depend more on their form and fitness in late May, or how they’d performed for the Stars and Stripes since the former Chelsea […]

In Driver's Eye with James Hinchcliffe, the six-time INDYCAR winner will bring you inside the mind of a racer while breaking down the nuts and bolts of the sport for fans. This time of year, it’s easy to think about one thing and one thing only: the Indianapolis 500. But when you’re racing in INDYCAR, you do that at your own peril. And the reason for that is simple. There […]

In 2025, Alex Palou kicked off the Month of May with a Sonsio Grand Prix win at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course. Based on the odds, it's likely that Palou will find himself in Winner's Circle again this Saturday when INDYCAR goes back to IMS on May 9 (4:30 p.m. ET, FOX). Considering Palou has already captured the checkered flag three times this season, are there any other drivers […]
