| Good morning! Today is Thursday, July 2. I'm Tim G. and I'm ready to get this holiday weekend started. But first, the NFL shorted its preseason to just two games, an MLS team was hit with positive COVID-19 tests inside its Orlando 'bubble' and we've launched Episode 4 of our Changing the Game podcast with the amazing Doris Burke. Scroll down to see the day's biggest sports headlines, but first: |
| We asked why you fell in love with sports. These are those stories. |
| Today's memory is from reader Doug Kelly of Sacramento |
| I fell in love with two sports in the same year, thanks to my Dad. In the spring of 1957, we lived outside of Washington D.C., and he took me to a Boston Red Sox-Washington Senators game. He was very specific, telling me to watch everything that Number 9 of the Red Sox did. That was Ted Williams and he later said, "That man was the best player on the field today." |
| Later that year, we went to a Cleveland Browns-Washington Redskins game. He told me the same thing he told me about Williams. "Watch everything that Number 32 of the Browns does." That was Jim Brown, "the best player on the field that day." |
