Danny Hernandez was riding on a bus with his summer baseball team, the Brazos Valley Bombers, a couple of weeks ago when he got a call from Cincinnati Reds scout Jerry Flowers.
According to 2007 Temple High School graduate and former Wildcats standout Hernandez, their conversation went like this:
BELTON - Chad Lancaster and Cullen Pickett might be snickering a little today.
The co-owners of Lancaster and Pickett Pro Rodeo Company watched as their stock dominated the competition Thursday night on the first day of the 85th annual Belton Fourth of July PRCA Rodeo at Bell County Expo Center.
WIMBLEDON, England - Richard Williams refuses to watch his daughters Venus and Serena play each other. He says he simply can´t bear to see it, no matter the setting, no matter the stage.
So once again, the patriarch of the greatest sister act in tennis history is heading home to the United States before the Wimbledon final. That´s because the women´s singles championship at the All England Club is Venus Williams vs. Serena Williams for the second year in a row and fourth time overall.
WIMBLEDON, England - The current edition of Wimbledon is the 23rd Grand Slam tournament since Andy Roddick won his lone major championship at the 2003 U.S. Open.
He badly wants to win a second.
MONACO - For all of Lance Armstrong´s Tour de France victories, he still hasn´t won the hearts of the French. That may be about to change.
“A lot has been made about that relationship between them and myself,” he told The by phone this week. “The comments are not necessarily in line with reality.”
SAN DIEGO - It was the kind of late-inning buzz that none of the players had experienced before.
The Houston Astros - who once had the “Killer Bs” - beat the San Diego Padres 7-2 on Thursday, but only after waiting out a 52-minute delay in the top of the ninth inning caused when a swarm of bees took over left field at Petco Park.
HOUSTON (AP) - The Houston Rockets and NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers are swapping valuable pieces.
Ron Artest is leaving the Rockets to join Kobe Bryant and the Lakers, while Trevor Ariza is leaving Los Angeles for Houston.
BETHESDA, Md. - Anthony Kim is regaining a lot of his strength and a little of his swagger. He can only hope his record start Thursday at the AT&T National will allow him to get rid of some frustration built up from a year of not winning.
Kim ran off eight birdies over his final 13 holes and set the course record at Congressional with an 8-under-par 62, giving him a two-shot lead over tournament host Tiger Woods and two others.
