Like everyone else in baseball, I was fired up for Stephen Strasburg's big league debut.
There was a full slate of games that day, so not many of us saw it live, but most players I know were glued to the highlights. He looked as good as advertised, too, throwing hard with movement and locating his pitches well. Just as impressive, the atmosphere in D.C. looked insane, but he kept cool in the midst of all the noise.
Leslie County (Ky.) High School's Ethan Wolfe, who has Down syndrome, checks into the game and knocks down a 3-pointer.
Eagles QB Jalen Hurts surprises a family, whose child is battling cancer, with a $30,000 donation to go toward a new home.
Washington coach Ron Rivera receives an ovation as he walks down the hospital hallway to ring the bell after his final day of cancer treatment.
