Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:22:27 GMT

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The manager of the suburban Philadelphia Little League team that needed just one hit — a walk-off, two-run home run — to advance to the Little League World Series had the same question on his mind as anyone who has stepped foot in the home of WAWA convenience stores and wooder ice: Is the Little League World Series ready for Delco?“I don’t think they know what’s coming,” said a laughing Tom Bradley, who leads the team from Media, Pennsylvania. “Delco is like it’s own little world. I don’t think they’re ready for this accent.”The Media team, from about 20 miles southwest of Philly, defeated the team from Northwest Washington D.C., 2–0 on Friday in the Mid-Atlantic Regional championship game in Bristol, Connecticut. Trevor Skowronek’s two-run homer in the seventh inning was the only hit for Media in the game.“It was a pretty darn big hit,” Bradley said.Maybe somewhere actress Kate Winslet — who needed months to master the m...

King Felix to receive coronation as Hernández enters Seattle Mariners Hall of Fame

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:22:27 GMT

SEATTLE (AP) — Félix Hernández will stand in the middle of T-Mobile Park on Saturday in front of a sellout crowd again and the only certainty about this trip to the mound is that there will be tears.“Probably when I walk to the field,” Hernández said of when the crying will start.Hernández will become the 11th member of the Seattle Mariners Hall of Fame when he’s inducted Saturday night. He may not talk for long, but it will be emotional. Which will be fitting because that’s the way Hernández pitched on the same field for the entirety of his career.For a stretch, Hernández was arguably the most dominant right-hander in the game, evolving from a chubby-faced 19-year-old who made his debut in 2005 into an overpowering ace aptly nicknamed King Felix who was responsible for some of the biggest moments in franchise history.“I don’t watch my highlights all the time. But I watch them sometimes,” Hernández said Friday. “And I was pretty good.”Hernández pitched 15 seasons for the Mariners, o...

Survivors of Maui's wildfires return home to ruins as death toll rises to 67

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:22:27 GMT

LAHAINA, Hawaii (AP) — Blackened hulks of burned-out cars, the pavement streaked with melted and then rehardened chrome. Block after block of flattened homes and businesses. Incinerated telephone poles, and elevator shafts rising from ashy lots where apartment buildings once stood. A truck bed full of glass bottles, warped into surreal shapes by the furious heat. Anthony Garcia assessed the devastation as he stood under historic Lahaina’s iconic banyan tree, now charred, and swept twisted branches into neat piles next to another heap filled with dead animals — cats, roosters and other birds killed by the smoke and flames. Somehow it made sense in a world turned upside-down. “If I don’t do something, I’ll go nuts,” said Garcia, who lost everything he owned. “I’m losing my faith in God.”That was the scene residents found when they were allowed back home to take stock of their shattered homes and lives Friday as the toll rose to 67 confirmed dead in this week's wildfires, which tore th...
