In Case of Emergency, Use Stairs: A Tribute to Baseball's Greatest Unknown Slugger
By Ryan Dahn
They called him the “Professional Hitter.” A backhanded complement, yes — but they were not wrong about his bat. When he connected with a fastball or a hanging slider with that gawky swing of his, boy, that ball would soar off his bat like no other.
Generously listed at five-foot-nine, 200 pounds, he never tried to hide his sole goal at the plate. “I’m not going to lie,” he once said, the night he hit his most famous bomb. “I try to hit home runs and that’s it.”

Why Can't Lionel Messi Do It on a Wet, Windy Night in Buenos Aires?
by Kunle Demuren
This is a feature article exploring the differences in football players’ performance when playing for their countries, as opposed to playing for their club teams.
Lionel Messi is the two-time reigning World Player of the Year, mostly on the back of his transcendent performances in FC Barcelona’s incredible dominance of European football. Despite his numerous exploits for Barcelona, however, he has not replicated that form while playing for Argentina. Any review of the top players in European club football suggests that this is not an isolated phenomenon. Players such as Steven Gerrard and Cristiano Ronaldo produce transcendent form for their club sides, yet struggle to play as well at the international level. Meanwhile, the famous Polish-born German strikers, Lukas Podolski and Miroslav Klose, continue to bang in the goals for die Mannschaft, while struggling mightily to get goals and even playing time at club level.
