The stars were plentiful, and in the aftermath of the lunacy, one of them stood in the Dodgers' clubhouse, still trying to process what happened. Will Klein, the last man out of the Dodgers' bullpen, a reliever who had topped out this year at two innings and 36 pitches, threw four innings of one-hit ball and struck out five on 72 pitches. The last of them, an 86 mph curveball, induced a swing-and-miss from Tyler Heineman and a scream from Klein, who understood what had been asked of him and knew he'd delivered. Games don't become classics without efforts like Klein's -- and he had an admirer who wanted to acknowledge that. Into the Dodgers' clubhouse strode Sandy Koufax, his eminence of Dodgers pitching, who, at 89 years old, looked no worse for the wear at 12:48 a.m. Koufax walked up to Klein, stuck out his hand, looked him in the eyes and said: "Nice going."

The WNBA Is at a Breaking Point Napheesa Collier went scorched earth on Cathy Engelbert for a reason. The players are fed up—and the firestorm is here.

I wrote about Napheesa Collier's power play, Cathy Engelbert's puppet leadership, a changing ownership landscape and how the next commissioner should take a collaborative approach to the WNBA entering its player empowerment era:

“ABC and CBS are making a serious miscalculation. Their servility to Trump will not earn them peace, only greater pressure.”
