πππΊπΈπ" Team USA outlasted Switzerland 1-0 ! the first ice hockey world championship for USA since 1933
"STOCKHOLM -- Buffalo Sabres star forward Tage Thompson scored the winner 2:02 into overtime, and Team USA outlasted Switzerland 1-0 in the final of the ice hockey world championship at Avicii Arena on Sunday.
It is the first on-ice trophy for USA Hockey in this tournament in 92 years, after the Americans brought it home back in 1933. And it was an emotional one. As Team USA posed for its championship photo at center ice, players held up a No. 13 jersey of Johnny Gaudreau, the former NHL and USA Hockey star forward who died tragically last August when he and his brother, Matthew, were hit by an allegedly drunken and enraged driver as they cycled at night in New Jersey..."

Alex Palou wins his first Indianapolis 500, holding off Marcus Ericsson in the final laps. This marks his fifth win in six races to start the NTT INDYCAR SERIES season.
Palou finally gets the one piece missing from his IndyCar resume: an Indianapolis 500 win. The three-time IndyCar Series champion passed Marcus Ericsson with 14 laps remaining and held off the 2022 Indy 500 winner and 2023 runner-up to win the "Greatest Spectacle in Racing..."
"MLB Announcers Stunned to Learn About a Baseball Rule During Live Broadcast: Dodgers vs Mets
"The Apple TV+'s rules analyst, former MLB umpire Ben Gorman, explained that a baserunner doesn't have to wait until the ball is caught and called an out. The rule dictates a baserunner can tag up once the opposing team simply makes contact with the baseball.
"The reason behind the touch, as opposed to when he eventually catches the ball, is that an outfielder can actually juggle the ball all the way in and prevent the guy from advancing," Gorman explained. "As soon as the ball hits the glove, he can take off."

The Colorado Rockies now have the worst 50-game record in Major League Baseball's modern era
The Colorado Rockies have experienced a historically bad start to the 2025 season, falling to 8-42, which is the worst 50-game record in Major League Baseball's modern era. This record surpasses the previous worst, held by the 1904 Washington Senators (9-41), and the 1895 Louisville Colonels (7-43). The Rockies' struggles are evident in their low OPS (.648, third-lowest in baseball) and high ERA (5.92, highest in the league). "
As of 5.24.25 , there are 10 active NBA teams that have NEVER won a championship (3 of 4 still in playoffs)
of the current date, there are 10 active NBA teams that have never won a championship:
* Brooklyn Nets

* Los Angeles Clippers

* Minnesota Timberwolves
* New Orleans Pelicans
* Orlando Magic
* Phoenix Suns
* Utah Jazz
*Oklahoma Thunder have never won a championship in Oklahoma, but they did win a championship in 1979 when they were the Seattle SuperSonics

Fun fact: Why are they called the pacers
"
The "Pacers" name for the Indianapolis (or rather, Indiana) Pacers basketball team is a combination of two significant aspects of Indiana's racing heritage:
* Harness Racing Pacers: Indiana has a long history of harness racing, which involves horses called "pacers." These horses have a specific gait where they move their legs in lateral pairs (both right legs, then both left legs).
* Indianapolis 500 Pace Car: The state is also famous for the Indianapolis 500 automobile race, and the "pace car" that leads the field at the beginning of the race is a prominent symbol.
So, the name "Pacers" was chosen to honor both the state's connection to horse racing and the iconic Indianapolis 500."
