Mariners' Victor Robles throws bat at pitcher during minor league game
Seattle Mariners outfielder Victor Robles threw his bat toward the mound in a heated incident during a minor league baseball game as he competed for the Tacoma Rainiers. The incident occurred in the top of the third inning against the Las Vegas Aviators in a Pacific Coast League game. Joey Estes was on the mound for Las Vegas when he threw high and inside at Robles. The outfielder swung and it appeared the ball hit the barrel of the bat. Robles tried to get out of the way but to no avail. Instead, he walked around the catcher, took his bat and threw it at Estes. Robles was immediately ejected from the game and was held back from charging the mound. The broadcast showed Robles also tossing a water cooler from the dugout onto the field as his meltdown continued. The Aviators won the game, 12-7. Victor Labrada, who came into the game for Robles, finished 2-for-3 with three RBI. Robles, who won a World Series title with the Washington Nationals in 2019, signed with the Mariners in the 2024 season after he was released in the middle of the year. He played for Seattle in 10 games this season, hitting .273 with an OPS of .624. He was with the Rainiers on a rehab assignment after he missed some significant time due to an injury. He was hitting .357 in Tacoma going into the game against the Aviators.

Philadelphia boxing gym owner overcame heavyweight battles before he was able to give back to the community
Maleek Jackson was born and raised in South Philadelphia and fell in love with boxing at an early age. "Once we get to that point where you can feel the mistakes and the errors, and you can self-correct. Then we start learning," Jackson said. But after witnessing the death of his older brother, boxing was on the ropes as he was absorbed into a life of crime. "By the time I turned 16, I was a different kid, involved in different things," Jackson said. He landed a dangerous combination, being sentenced to 10 years in prison until he was 26. Three of those years, he was in solitary confinement. "I had to put myself in the fight of life and say, 'Yo, round 1 through 5 not gonna be fair. You know that, but you got to survive,'" said Jackson. Survival became hard when he lost two more brothers to gun violence while incarcerated, including his younger brother, Azzim. "The pain that I felt was unlike any other pain, and that one was younger than me, and I felt more responsibility to him as a protector," he said. Through his inconsolable pain, Jackson rediscovered his love for boxing, which helped him get through his long sentence. "I was able to practice it again in a hopeless situation and extract the mentality of a boxer," he said. That mentality helped Jackson to fight, and after serving his sentence, he shadowed the business workings at a local gym. "I had this light about overcoming and moving forward with my life," Jackson said. Before you know it, he opened his own gym, Maleek Jackson Boxing, in Northern Liberties. He trains everyone from beginners to professionals. "The last part you get is a sweat. That's the icing on the cake," he said. "What you really taking is how to use the gift of boxing when you're out there in your life ... and life is getting tough. Close to his heart is his nonprofit named after his younger brother, the Azzim Dukes Initiative, which offers free year-round training for children. "It gives kids a gift, just like boxing has given to me ... and ultimately … learn to separate your emotions between your actions. That's what boxing does," he said. Jackson's story proves that new beginnings are possible with hard work, dedication and of course, a good one-two punch.
