Houston Astros Tickets Vivid Seats Shop Now Before the seventh inning of the Astros’ 8-2 victory, Oliver was picked to go on the field and “steal a base.” The promotion involves a child racing against the clock to run to a base temporarily set up on the warning track in the outfield. Oliver wasn’t having anything to do with that temporary base. Instead, he went for a real one. The boy, who lives about 30 miles east of Minute Maid Park, raced to second base and tried to pull it up from the ground. Astros second baseman Jose Altuve and shortstop Mauricio Dubon even came over to help him, but those bags are secured pretty solidly in the ground. “We thought it would be funny to give him the bag, … [Read more...] about Watch 6-year-old Oliver try to ‘steal’ second base at Astros game

Shipping companies are transforming rust buckets into gold mines in a modern-day alchemy that could fuel already rampant inflation for years to come. The disruption to world trade caused by pandemic lockdowns and a shortage of new cargo vessels has pushed freight rates for ageing container ships to record highs. Cashing in on the boom, shipping firms are locking in long-term leases lasting three to four years, which means consumers could carry on paying the price for the surge in costs until hundreds of new ships on order come into service. Take the Synergy Oakland, a mid-sized vessel flagged in Cyprus that can carry more than 4,200 20-foot steel containers. Greek firm Euroseas bought it in 2019 for $10 million when it was already a decade old. As world trade spiralled into chaos last year, it raked in $21 million in just over 100 days at the highest daily freight rate in history for a ship of its size. It squeezed in one more short-term charter earning around $10 million in … [Read more...] about Old Is Gold: Sky-High Cost Of Ageing Ships Sounds Inflation SOS

After a difficult opening round in Portimao where he scored no points, Rast got back onto the podium last time out at the Lausitzring and then converted his first pole of the season in the opening race at Imola on Saturday to a comfortable victory over old rival Nico Muller . When reflecting on what he called "a perfect race", Rast revealed that his success had been "a bit unexpected" as "before the season I didn’t really expect to fight for wins or for podiums". Asked by Motorsport.com to clarify his comments, Rast explained: "I had to adapt to the car again, it took me a bit longer than I was hoping obviously. "I didn’t really expect to fight for wins because a GT3 car is so special, it’s made for … [Read more...] about Rast “proven wrong” by “unexpected” win in DTM comeback year

Prosecutors said she should serve between 30 years and 55 years in prison, reflecting the federal sentencing guidelines. They made their recommendations to the judge who will preside over a sentencing hearing on Tuesday in Manhattan federal court. The 60-year-old Maxwell was convicted in December of sex trafficking and other crimes after a month-long trial that featured testimony from four women who said they were abused in their teens. Defense lawyers said in a sentencing submission last week that she should spend no more than five years in prison and shouldn't pay for Epstein's crimes, since he was the mastermind … [Read more...] about Feds: Ghislaine Maxwell deserves at least 30 years in prison

It’s not uncommon for a Formula 1 driver’s future to be completely out of their hands. It’s generally the case for drivers who aren’t Lewis Hamilton or Max Verstappen. Advert | Become a Supporter & go ad-free Yet, many do get backed by teams before they reach F1, which brings the expectation they will progress through the rankings to become a senior member of the outfit, if an opportunity arises. For a driver like Pierre Gasly , that step up came arguably too soon at Red Bull in 2019. He now seems stuck at a crossroads after the team announced Sergio Perez had re-signed to remain alongside Verstappen at the senior team until the end of 2024. Red Bull’s decision is a rational one. Perez is a driver who has consistently delivered at races to gain important points in their championship fight and has accepted the occasions where he’s had to serve as ‘number two’ to Verstappen with grace. Last season Franz Tost, team principal of Red Bull’s junior F1 squad … [Read more...] about Perez’s new Red Bull deal poses questions for Gasly and his junior team successors · RaceFans

Advert | Become a Supporter & go ad-free Red Bull prevailed in a close fight with their closest rivals at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve after Verstappen withstood pressure from Carlos Sainz Jnr over the final laps. “It was a tough race,” said Verstappen after his victory on Sunday. “I expected to have a little bit more pace but we seemed to lack a little bit compared to Carlos.” “That’s of course the only one I could compare to, with the Ferrari, and it was a bit more difficult than I expected.” Verstappen started from pole position, for only the second time this year, following a rain-affected qualifying session.
