Column: Chicago White Sox defend decision to continue play after shooting at Guaranteed Rate Field. Was it the right call?

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:07:19 GMT

The unthinkable happened Friday night at Guaranteed Rate Field when two women were hit by gunfire in the left-field bleachers during the fourth inning of the Chicago White Sox’s loss to the Oakland A’s.One day after the shooting, a Chicago Police Department investigation still had no answers as to how the incident occurred or where the shots came from.A shooting inside a major-league ballpark obviously would seem serious enough to stop the game and clear the ballpark. But play continued as if nothing had happened, and Sox security simply moved fans to a different area while searching the stands for casings.The Sox on Saturday defended the decision to keep playing, saying there was no “active threat” to anyone in the park.“Initially it was presented as just a fan who needed first aid,” vice president of communications Scott Reifert said before Saturday’s game. “It was a wound. No one understood it was a bullet or gunshot. So there was t...

Mets Notebook: Shohei Ohtani turned down MRI earlier in season

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:07:19 GMT

The best player in baseball got hurt on the Angels’ watch and the club is feeling the heat. One day after revealing that no imaging was done on Shohei Ohtani after he complained of arm fatigue earlier in the season, Los Angeles general manager Perry Minasian clarified the comments.Ohtani was diagnosed with a torn right ulnar collateral ligament Wednesday and earlier imaging might have shown strain or damage in the elbow. The Angels could have shut him down to treat the injury and possibly prevent a tear, which is the worst-case scenario.“The imaging was offered earlier in the year and him and his representation turned it down,” Minasian said.The Angels suggested Ohtani undergo imaging because of a cramp in a finger on his right pitching hand. Ohtani and his agent, Nez Balelo of CAA, did not feel an MRI was necessary for a finger cramp. Minasian said the 29-year-old two-way star had not complained of any elbow soreness until earlier this week.The finger issues start...

Ex-Dodgers Turner, Verdugo lift Red Sox to 8-5 victory over LA

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:07:19 GMT

Winning the breakup is a big part of baseball; when given the chance, make your former team regret letting you go.That’s exactly what Alex Verdugo and Justin Turner did on Saturday, lifting the Red Sox to a 8-5 victory over the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers.Since Day 1, Verdugo has wanted to be more than the guy from the Mookie Betts trade.Trades are a part of the baseball business, but it’s quite an unfair position in which to find oneself, dealt to one of the game’s most historic franchises in exchange for one of its most decorated homegrown stars. The pile of money Harry Frazee received from the New York Yankees in exchange for Babe Ruth never had to face repeated questions and commentary about the transaction, but Verdugo has been dissected, discussed, and compared to Betts ever since.So when the two finally got to square off at Fenway Park this weekend, the spotlight got even brighter. Especially since both were in the leadoff spot on Friday and Saturday and starting in right fi...

White man fatally shoots 3 Black people at a Florida store in hate crime

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:07:19 GMT

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — A masked white man fatally shot three people inside a Jacksonville, Florida, Dollar General store in a predominately Black neighbourhood on Saturday in an attack after leaving behind racist writings, officials said. The shooter then killed himself.“He hated Black people,” Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters told a news conference. “There is absolutely no evidence the shooter is part of any larger group.”Waters said the shooter, who was in his 20s, used a Glock handgun and an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle with at least one of the firearms painted with a swastika. He was wearing a bullet-resistant vest.Officials didn’t immediately release the names of the victims or the shooter.The sheriff said the gunman had left behind writings that led investigators to believe that he committed the shooting because it was the fifth anniversary of when another gunman opened fire during a video game tournament in Jacksonville, killing two people before fatally shooting himself.The...

Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa wins re-election after troubled vote, officials say

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:07:19 GMT

HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) — Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa was re-elected for a second and final five-year term late Saturday in results announced much earlier than expected following another troubled vote in the southern African country with a history of violent and disputed elections.An opposition party spokesperson said within minutes of Mnangagwa being declared the winner that they would reject the results as “hastily assembled without proper verification.”Mnangagwa’s victory meant the ZANU-PF party retained the governmental leadership it has held for all 43 years of Zimbabwe’s history since the nation was re-named following independence from white minority rule in 1980. Zimbabwe has had just two leaders in that time, long-ruling autocrat Robert Mugabe and Mnangagwa.The 80-year-old Mnangagwa, who has the nickname “the crocodile” from his days as a guerrilla fighter, won 52.6% of the votes in the midweek election, the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission said in a late-...
