Adam Wainwright surprises on Opening Day, sings the national anthem!

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 01:21:54 GMT

ST. LOUIS - Adam Wainwright has spent a lot of Opening Days on the mound (six to be exact). For his final one as a player, he drew an assignment he has never had for a St. Louis Cardinals home opener. Wainwright landed on the injured list last week, so he couldn't pitch in the home opener. Instead, he traded his glove for a microphone. To the surprise of the Busch Stadium crowd, he sang the National Anthem. The Cardinals had planned to honor Wainwright with some sort of gesture before the game as the 41-year-old embarks on his final MLB season. It was initially though there might be a video presentation to honor his accomplishments."A few days ago, when we were still in Jupiter, they told me, when they had planned on starting me, [there would be] a tribute today. They wanted me to pick someone special to me, so I was going to have Gary [Baker] and Greg [Barnhill] sing [the National Anthem] while I warmed up. Those are my buddies.

Did Las Vegas shooter snap over high-roller benefits?

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 01:21:54 GMT

By Rio Yamat | Associated PressLAS VEGAS — The high-stakes gambler who carried out the deadliest mass shooting in modern America, killing 60 and injuring hundreds more in Las Vegas, was apparently angry over how the casinos were treating him despite his high-roller status, according to a fellow gambler whose interview with the FBI is detailed in hundreds of pages of documents made public this week.The gambler, whose name is redacted in the new documents, said he believed the stress could have easily caused gunman Stephen Paddock “to snap.” Paddock, 64, was a video poker player who relied on gambling as his main source of income.The revelation comes years after the FBI in Las Vegas and the local police department concluded their investigations without a definitive motive, although both agencies said Paddock burned through more than $1.5 million, became obsessed with guns, and distanced himself from his girlfriend and family in the months leading up to the massacre.In a st...

OAKLAND — Two alleged members of an Oakland subset of the Norteño gang have been arrested on charges that they shot and killed two Berkeley brothers at a 2022 party, after mistaking the victims for rival gang members.Authorities say both suspects were 17 at the time of the shooting and were booked at juvenile hall. Their names have not yet been released, and detectives are expected to take the case to the Alameda County District Attorney’s office for potential filing early next week.Brothers Jazy Sotelo Garcia, 17, and Angel Sotelo Garcia, 15, were shot and killed around 10 p.m. on Oct. 1, at a party held in an Airbnb rental home on the 900 block of Apgar Street in North Oakland. The party had about 30 attendees, most of whom were Berkeley High students. Two others were injured, but survived.Then-Oakland police Chief LeRonne Armstrong said at the time the case was not gang related, but now authorities are disputing that, saying that the alleged shooters mistook at least ...

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 01:21:54 GMT

ST. LOUIS (AP) — George Springer had five hits and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. drove in three runs as the Toronto Blue Jays beat St. Louis 10-9 on Thursday despite the Cardinals’ Tyler O’Neill tying a major league record by homering on opening day George for the fourth straight season.Making his Cardinals debut, catcher Willson Contreras left after the eighth inning because of an injured knee and was sent for a scan.Springer was 5 for 6 with five singles in the fourth five-hit game of his big league career to go along with a six-game game for Houston at Oakland in May 2018. Springer set a Toronto record for hits in an opener and combined with Baltimore’s Adley Rutschman to become the first pair of players with five hits each on opening day since at least 1901.“It’s awesome, obviously you want to start off good,” Springer said. “It’s only one game. But, I’ll take all the hits I can get.”Bo Bichette had four hits and Matt Chapman three for the Blue Jays, ...

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — The majority-white and Republican-led Mississippi Legislature is taking final steps to expand the the territory of a state-run police department inside the capital city of Jackson, which is majority-Black and governed by Democrats.Critics say the proposal would stomp on local self-governance and create unequal systems of justice in different parts Jackson, which has the highest percentage of Black residents of any major U.S. city.Supporters say they are trying to reduce crime in a city of about 150,000 residents, which had more than 100 homicides for each of the past three years.Senators on Thursday passed the final version of a bill that Democratic Sen.

Las plantas no son completamente silenciosas. Hacen crujidos, según un estudio

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 01:21:54 GMT

(CNN) — Las plantas hacen sonidos que el oído humano no puede detectar, según las grabaciones realizadas en un nuevo estudio, y suenan más cuando están deshidratadas o bajo otros tipos de estrés.La investigación cuestiona radicalmente lo que la mayoría de los botánicos pensaban que sabían sobre el reino vegetal, que era considerado en gran parte silencioso. También sugiere que el mundo que nos rodea es una cacofonía de sonidos de plantas, dijo la coautora del estudio, Lilach Hadany.Hadany dijo que durante mucho tiempo fue escéptica de que las plantas fueran completamente silenciosas.“Hay tantos organismos que responden al sonido que pensé que no había una buena razón para que las plantas fueran sordas y mudas”, dijo Hadany, profesora de la Facultad de Ciencias de las Plantas y Seguridad Alimentaria y directora del programa de la Facultad George S. Wise de Ciencias de la Vida en la Universidad de Tel Aviv.Los neandertales podían escuchar y hacer los mismos sonidos q...
