You're locked in to Sports Desk, let's get after it.
Jacob Misiorowski put the baseball world on notice Friday night in Milwaukee. The Brewers phenom faced the Yankees and threw thirty-six pitches at one hundred miles per hour or faster, topping out at a staggering one hundred and three point six — the hardest pitch ever tracked from a starter in MLB history. That is not a typo, folks. That is a twenty-four-year-old rewriting the record books in real time.
Meanwhile, the golf world continues its slow thaw. Rory McIlroy said Friday he is no longer opposed to LIV players returning to the PGA Tour, a significant shift from one of the tour's most vocal critics. McIlroy's tone was measured though — he made clear the door is open, but the question is whether those players actually want to walk through it.
And some genuinely wonderful news from the baseball community. Hall of Famer Wade Boggs announced he is cancer-free, two years after going public with his prostate cancer diagnosis. The five-time batting champion is eighty-seven years young and still fighting, and today that fight belongs to him.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
