Three sports. Three wild plays. One giant reminder: anything can happen.
Letās dive in!
1ļøā£ Premier League Power Clash ā½
Weāve been talking English Premier League all weekend.
Yesterdayās highlight? Arsenal vs. Manchester United. Two of the most popular clubs in the world. Everyone expected fireworks.
It delivered. š„
š„ Hit play to see what happened! (Arsenal is in white.)
Arsenal jumped ahead early with a clever header from Riccardo Calafiori on a corner kick.
Manchester United fought hard and created plenty of chancesā¦ but couldnāt score, and lost 1ā0.
š§ That goal came off a set piece. Whatās that? Itās when play starts again after the ball goes out of bounds or thereās a foul. Like a corner kick, free kick, or penalty. Think of it as hitting resetā¦ with a big scoring chance built in.
2ļøā£ A Chip to Remember ā³
A week ago we learned the golf season has playoffs.
This weekend, the top 50 golfers played in the second of three tournaments called the BMW Championship.
By yesterdayās final round, Robert MacIntyre held the leadā¦ until Scottie Scheffler turned things upside down.
š„ Watch this shot that sealed the win!
Yep, that was an 82-foot chip-in from the rough on the 17th hole.
Scheffler finished at 15-under par.
But hereās the twist: even with the loss, MacIntyre stayed in the top 30, earning a spot in next weekās Tour Championship in Atlanta.
Heāll be there alongside stars like Scheffler and Rory McIlroy.
And now the history watch begins: if Scheffler wins again, heāll become the first golfer ever to win back-to-back titles since the playoffs started in 2007.
3ļøā£ A Giant Catch š«
NFL preseason is underway, so itās fair if you thought this was about the New York Giants.
Nopeā¦ this is baseball. And itās all about San Francisco Giants center fielder Jung Hoo Lee.
š„ Ready to see something youāve never seen before?
Hereās the play: In the top of the 4th inning, a Tampa Bay Rays hitter ripped a line drive into the outfield. Lee chased it down, slid across the grassā¦ and then things got wild.
The ball popped out of his glove, bounced off his thigh, slid down his calf. Then Lee somehow trapped it between his knees.
Did you hear the announcer call it the catch of the decade?
š§ He also said the ball was hit into Triples Alley. Thatās the nickname for deep right-center field in San Franciscoās park. Itās so big that balls often turn into triplesā¦ unless Jung Hoo Lee is out there.
Okay, okay. We didnāt hit head, shoulders, knees, and toes today.
But we did start with a header and finish with a knee-catchā¦ so close enough. š
See you tomorrow, Smallballers!
