Howard fastest in history to 100 homers It soared over the roughly 35-foot-high batter's eye in center field, bouncing into the Wall of Fame area on Ashburn Alley, a distance estimated to be 505 feet by the Phillies. That was Ryan Howard's 100th career home run, coming in his 325th game, breaking Ralph Kiner's 59-year-old record (385th game).

The Canadian sports television network "The Score" has started a massive undertaking to determine the greatest sports highlight of all time. They've put together their list of the top 64 plays into a playoff bracket system. They reveal a new match-up each weeknight.

More than 50 years after he pitched the only perfect game in World Series history, Don Larsen finally got to see the game in it's entirety courtesy an Illinois sports collector.

Totally cool. Any chance that MLB will let anyone else see it?

Who's the Daddy? Eighty-five times he's pushed his disabled son, Rick, 26.2 miles in Marathons. Eight times he's not only pushed him 26.2 miles in a wheelchair but also towed him 2.4 miles in a dinghy while swimming and pedaled him 112 miles in a seat on the handlebars - all in the same day. [I can't seem to get the original of this from SI, but this one includes an embedded YouTube link at the end]

Dad intervenes during his son's wrestling match. While the match is going, a father perceives his son to be in trouble and jumps in to help out. He launches his son's opponent about five feet into the air. Unbelievable.

How young does wrestling start?

Do you like lists?
Lists about baseball things you always wondered about (extra inning games!) and didn't even consider (teammates of father/son players!).
All from the free historical database of Retrosheet.

Teen with cerebral palsy completes marathon swim 15-year-old Jenna Lambert of Kingston, Ontario, an athlete in ultra-marathoner Vicki Keith's swimming program, swam 32km across Lake Ontario yesterday. Oh yeah, because of her CP, she did it without the use of her legs.

Lindros Over/Under: Reading this discussion got me thinking...how long will it be before Lindros' next campaign is ended by a concussion-causing sneeze, a melonballing accident, or a bathtub fall? Do you feel lucky, punk? Well...do ya?

Barbaro fighting for his life His condition is listed as "poor" and it doesn't look like it'll be long before they have to put him down, baring a miracle. Damn, damn shame.

Maybe Barbaro needs to go live with these folks!

Something rare happened on July 15th, 2006 but unlike other occurences that happen once every 30 years, this one went largely unnoticed.

Bad pitching is better than none! "We feel that Weaver is someone who can come in and lend immediate help and depth to our rotation," Cardinals general manager Walt Jocketty said after St. Louis' 14-4 loss at Atlanta.

Goodbye Steve -- you made hockey more fun to watch and follow. Happy days for us Duck fans (or as one broadcaster said they dropped mighty from the name and put it on the ice!)
