The Windsor Spitfires are one win away from advancing to the Ontario Hockey League‘s Western Conference Final after a 6-3 win in Kitchener on Monday.
Spits captain Liam Greentree had 6 points, including 5 goals. He’s the first OHL-er to score 5 goals in a playoff game since Connor McDavid in 2015.
Game 4 is Wednesday in Kitchener. If a game 5 is necessary, it will be played in Windsor on Friday.
When you tune in to the Tigers or Blue Jays tonight, you might have a tough time identifying your favourite player.
They’ll all be wearing the same number: 42.
That’s in honour of Jackie Robinson. 78 years ago today, in 1947, Jackie Robinson became the first African-American to play in a regular season Major League baseball game.
Fifty years later, in 1997, the Number 42 was permanently retired throughout all of Major League Baseball. That was Jackie’s number when he was with the Brooklyn Dodgers.
The last guy to wear it was Yankees pitcher Mariano Rivera. He retired in 2013, the same year Chadwick Boseman played Jackie in 42.
Katy Perry, Gayle King, and Jeff Bezos’ fiancé Lauren Sanchez successfully completed their space flight yesterday.
It was an all-female flight that also included a filmmaker, a former NASA scientist, and a research scientist. They spent a brief time being weightless and floating around the cabin. It was about 10 minutes long and they flew to an altitude of 62 miles/100 kms, just above what’s called the Karman Line which is the edge of the Earth’s atmosphere.
Katy and Gayle kissed the ground upon landing.
