Ian Happ absolutely DESTROYED a baseball in the ninth inning, but the insane Wrigley Field wind knocked it down a record-breaking 113 feet.

Dubbed as "The Game at Radio City", the WNBA hosted an exhibition game between the U.S. Olympic team and a group of WNBA stars. Some of the biggest names in the history of the sport, like Lisa Leslie, Diana Taurasi and Sue Bird took the court in one of the most iconic entertainment venues ever. The game was set up as a way to excite fans for the upcoming Summer Olympic Games in Athens.

The story is about a little boy (inspired by my son, Leo!) who gets surprised with a trip to his very first Cubs game. And it follows his journey from getting the tickets, to being stuck in traffic on the way downtown, to reaching his seats, experiencing "the troughs" for the first time, making friends in the bleachers, getting nervous about the game, eating snacks, throwing the other team's home run balls back on the field, singing Go, Cubs, Go! (spoiler alert), and so much more!

You see, back when 5G was still in its infancy, we were sold two big promises about 5G -- speed and capacity. For speed, the biggest example we were given was "You can download an entire movie while you sit on the tarmac waiting to take off! Well, concerns surrounding 5G and airport safety quickly quashed those dreams. Also: The best 5G phones in 2025: Where does the iPhone 17 rank? The other promise was capacity. The promise was "you can go to a concert and still stream to your friends back home" and yadda yadda. So far, in my experience, that has very much not been the case. Any time I find myself in an amusement park or a ballgame, my phone becomes a nice camera, as long as I don't try to send photos to anyone. It's been a while since I've run into that situation, so I wanted to take the temperature these days.

Anthony Rizzo made Moises Ballesteros' first major league home run extra special. The longtime Chicago Cubs first baseman was at Wrigley Field on Saturday for a retirement ceremony, where he was officially named an ambassador for the team. After the ceremony, Rizzo took in the game from the left-field bleachers. That's where the rookie Ballesteros launched his first-ever MLB dinger -- and Rizzo nearly caught it.

The seating at Wrigley Field stands out as a major improvement, with every seat providing ample width and legroom, accommodating larger individuals comfortably.

"The basket's kind of annoying. If the basket isn't there, it's not a homer," said Edman, giving chase from center field. "Just kind of a weird quirk of the ballpark. I thought I had a fairly good bead on it. Unfortunately it barely made it out."
