Cron, 24, responded by going 3-for-5 with a double and two RBIs as the DH and No. 5 hitter in his major league debut Saturday against the Rangers. That earned him another start Sunday, when he went 2-for-4 with one of his two singles coming off Yu Darvish. Your browser does not support iframes. The inital assumption was that Cron's playing time would be sparse as he plays the righthanded half of a DH platoon with Raul Ibanez....
Nigeria, Senegal, Morocco, Egypt and Tunisia have been confirmed as the five teams to represent the continent in Russia next year. Africa’s best position since debuting in 1934 has been quarter-final berths achieved by Cameroon, Senegal and Ghana in 1990, 2002 and 2010 respectively. “My native Ghana did not get into the final part,” Desailly told Sport Express Russia. “This is my spiritual wound.

Speaking on Fox News, Rivera said: “I had an idea, with the world so divided and everybody, you know, telling him he’s got to give up, time to leave, it’s time to transition, and all the rest of it… Why not name the vaccine ‘The Trump’?” Rivera went onto suggest that not only should the COVID-19 vaccine be named after the president, but that the word “Trump” becomes known as a generic way to say vaccine....
One scholar’s blurb on the jacket of Eric A. Johnson’s Nazi Terror: The Gestapo, Jews and Ordinary Germans (636 pages. Basic. $35) says the book makes “a complete hash of Goldhagen’s thesis.” Johnson himself, a historian at Central Michigan University, disagrees with Goldhagen more respectfully, though just as firmly, on the prevalence and uniqueness of German anti-Semitism, and actually credits him (and Browning) for emphasizing that hundreds of thousands of “ordinary” Germans participated in the Holocaust–and were free to opt out....

He said the European Union needs to look at how to prevent a repeat of the violence in the future, beyond just ending the current conflict....
The star right-hander, now a free agent, was not in a good mood afterward in ways that perhaps went beyond losing a championship decider. Held out by manager A.J. Hinch in the 6-2 defeat — apparently because he was being saved for a closer’s role that never materialized — he did not want to speak with reporters. When he did, he began on an odd note. “I’m not an employee of the team,” Cole told an Astros spokesperson before continuing to reporters, “I guess as a representative of myself …”...
