Going Long for Jesus "Today, more pro athletes than ever are using their respective fields of play as pulpits to express, and promote, their faith. Unknown to many fans, though, there's often a 'coach' behind the post-game prayers and testimonies. ...

Young Suspended 50 games This kid has tons of talent but apparently has an anger problem. Maybe this will wake him up before he destroys his career.

young should probably be sent to the pit of despair...he threw a bat, for gods sake...hit an umpire square...course the ump wasnt injured at all...im sure his ego was damaged...sure, he stayed in the game, but...but young could have put an eye out...or raised a nasty welt... yourmother,fat you got pretty confident in knocking down punctuation after getting repeatedly shot down...you got something better than commas to comment on (correctly)...

Minor league team challenges the Royals Talk about a back hand slap across the face. If I'm the Royals, I accept and tack this article to the club house wall. What a great motivator. Ofcourse, they will probably lose the bet, but still!

Babe Ruth did not "revolutionize" the game. uh huh...neither did henry ford (didnt invent the wheel)...or archimedes (didnt invent math or physics)...or sir humphrey davy (didnt invent light) yeah, i guess hitting more homers than every other team in the league isn't very revolutionary
