Tebow Cut From Jags, Travis Kelce Draws Beard, Steve Cohen’s Criticizes Mets, Ohtani’s New Milestone
FOOTBALL
The Jacksonville Jaguars released Tim Tebow in its first round of roster cuts. Tebow, the 2007 Heisman Trophy winner and former NFL quarterback, also attempted to play professional baseball when he joined the minor league team for the NY Mets in 2016. In his four years with the Mets, he moved up from the instructional league to Triple-A but never made it to the big leagues.
Travis Kelce had fun with the press after deciding to shave his iconic beard. After his fans expressed their disappointment, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end drew a beard on his Twitter picture to ease his fans’ pain.
BASEBALL
Speaking of the Mets, new owner Steve Cohen took to social media to criticize the players’ “unproductive hitting”. The team responded by beating the San Francisco Giants and ending a five-game losing streak.
The Los Angeles Angels Shohei Ohtani continues to stun the sports world. He recorded another milestone against the Tigers on Wednesday night by hitting his 40th home run while pitching at least 15 games. Babe Ruth held the previous record of 29 in 1919. His 40 home runs are also the highest hit by a pitcher in a single season (with Babe Ruth taking the second and third slots with 34 hits in 1933 and 20 hits in 1921).
