The 3 plays in sports everybody will be talking about today
Good morning! Here are the plays everybody will be talking about on Thursday:
Addison Russell did an amazing thing with his glove. It is turning into quite the year for Russell. His team is headed to the playoffs and he is probably going to win the Gold Glove for shortstops in the National League. If he does win the award, they should just show this play on loop. According to Major League Baseball, he ran 107 feet to make the catch and reached a top speed of 19.3 mph. The catch saved a run and the Cubs eventually won 6-5.
Andrew Toles completes huge comeback with a grand slam. The Dodgers lost the first game of their double-header against the Rockies 7-0 and they trailed 8-2 in the 8th inning of Game 2. With the Giants winning, the Dodgers were in danger of seeing their 2-game lead fall to a half-game. They scored 3 runs in the eighth inning and one run in the ninth inning to make it 8-5. The Dodgers then loaded the bases with two outs when Andrew Toles came to the plate. Toles was playing in just his 25th game and was not even in professional baseball a year ago. None of that stopped him from hitting a grand slam to give the Dodgers the huge win.
Drake keeps taking - and making - half-court shots from his back. A week ago, Drake was at the Atlanta Hawks practice facility and he drained a half-court shot while lying down on his back. There were many questions: 1) why was he at the facility?; 2) why was he taking half-court shots from his back?; and 3) how many takes were there before he made it? Well, on Wednesday, Drake was at the Miami Heat practice facility and he was again filmed making a half-court shot from his back. It turns out he just likes to warm up for his concerts at NBA practice facilities, this one supposedly took just one attempt, and the Heat even claim he called bank.
This is how you warm up for Night 2 of the #SummerSixteenTour in Miami.
