“I just talked to Mike; he just got out of surgery. He feels great,” manager Phil Nevin said before the Angels finished a series against the San Diego Padres. “The surgery went well. We spoke to the doctor a minute ago, but it sounds like everything went great.”

After a couple years of uncertainty, Travis Rudolph, former New York Giants wide receiver, was found not guilty of first-degree murder. The WR, who played in the NFL during season 2017, was also facing three charges of attempted murder, but after a few hours of deliberation the jury in West Palm Beach determined he wasn't guilty of any.

Travis Rudolph's nightmare started on April 7, 2021. The former wide receiver reportedly shot at a car with four men on board outside his home in Lake Park, Florida. Those men, allegedly, confronted him after a dispute he had with Dominique Jones, who according to reports was his girlfriend. After the shooting, Travis killed a man named Sebastien Jean-Jacques and also got another injured.

Nevada lawmakers questioned whether a proposal to subsidize a new MLB stadium with tax credits and bonds would further boost Las Vegas’ economy, or serve as a handout for a big business that could strain government resources.

In a committee hearing on Monday — likely the only before a vote on the proposal to help fund the Oakland A’s potential stadium on the Las Vegas Strip — the Republican governor’s chief of staff and the Democratic treasurer both said it would provide tax revenue and well-paying jobs while further aiding Las Vegas’ transformation into a sports city.

Mike Shannon, a two-time World Series winner and longtime St. Louis Cardinals broadcaster, has died. He was 83.

The Cardinals said he died Saturday night in St. Louis. The team did not cite the cause of death.

“Mike’s unique connection to Cardinals fans and his teammates was reflected in his unbridled passion for the game, the Cardinals and the St. Louis community," Cardinals owner Bill DeWitt Jr. said in a statement Sunday.

Shannon spent 50 years in the broadcast booth, starting in 1972. That followed a short stint in the front office and a nine-year playing career with his hometown team, the first two seasons with future Hall of Famer Stan Musial.

Joe Buck, a longtime friend of Shannon's and onetime radio partner, said Shannon was a big influence on his career.
