MLB (major league baseball)
The boys of summer are back. Here's what you can expect on the diamond this season.
Food is synonymous with baseball, and this year there are some exciting treats to titillate your taste buds at the ballpark. Like the Texas Rangers' Boomburger, a two-foot burger. (It's the big brother to the Boomstick, a two-foot-long hot dog). The Seattle Mariners boast chapulines or toasted grasshoppers on the menu and cult favorite Din Tai Fung in the ballpark. The New York Mets have a fried donut chicken sandwich with glazed donuts for buns.

Short and Sweet
The Women's Elite Eight game between Iowa and Louisville drew 2.5M viewers, more than any NBA (National Basketball Association) game shown on ESPN this season.
Two groups, including a Canadian billionaire and one with Los Angeles Lakers (NBA) legend Magic Johnson, submitted $6B bids to buy the Washington Commanders (NFL - National Football League).
The list of highest-paid MLB players is in, and the Los Angeles Angels' Shohei Ohtani tops the list at $70M.
Changing their tune about sports betting, NFL owners voted to allow sportsbooks to operate in stadiums on game days, where sports betting is legal.
