Grateful Dead guitarist Jerry Garcia has childhood street named for him in San Francisco
A few hundred people gathered Friday to name a tiny San Francisco street after legendary Grateful Dead guitarist Jerry Garcia on what would have been his 83rd birthday and as part of a citywide celebration to mark the band's 60th anniversary. Harrington Street, which is one block long, will also be called 'Jerry Garcia Street." He died in 1995, but the band's popularity has only grown as younger generations discover the Dead's improvisational music, which blended rock, blues, folk and other styles. Garcia spent part of his childhood in a modest home in the city's diverse Excelsior neighborhood. He lived with his grandparents after the death of his father, Jose Ramon 'Joe' Garcia. 'I hope that you all get a chance to enjoy the music, dance, hug, smile,' said daughter Trixie Garcia, growing emotional during her brief remarks. 'Cherish what's valuable, what's significant in life.' Tens of thousands of fans are in San Francisco to commemorate the Grateful Dead's 60th anniversary with concerts and other activities throughout the city. The latest iteration of the band, Dead & Company, with original Grateful Dead members Bob Weir and Mickey Hart, will play Golden Gate Park's Polo Field for three days starting Friday. An estimated 60,000 attendees are expected each day. Formed in 1965, the Grateful Dead played often and for free in their early years while living in a cheap Victorian home in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood. The band later became a significant part of 1967's Summer of Love, and the Grateful Dead has become synonymous with San Francisco and its bohemian counterculture. On Friday, fans in rainbow tie-dye and Grateful Dead T-shirts whooped and cheered as the sign was unveiled. Nonfans with shopping bags and some using walking canes maneuvered around the crowd on what was for them just another foggy day in the working-class neighborhood. Afterward, devotees peeled off to pose for photos in front of Garcia's childhood home. Jared Yankee, 23, got the crowd to join him in singing "Happy Birthday." Yankee said he flew in from Rhode Island for the shows. He got into the music about a decade ago. 'It's a human thing,' he said of his impromptu singing. 'I figure everyone knows the words to 'Happy Birthday.'"

Cubs make quick work of Orioles in 1-0 victory
August 1 - Cade Horton allowed two hits over five shutout innings to help the Chicago Cubs to an efficient 1-0 win against the visiting Baltimore Orioles in the opener of their three-game series on Friday afternoon. The game time of 1 hour, 49 minutes tied the fastest in the major leagues this season. Horton (5-3) struck out three and walked three while extending his shutout streak to 17 2/3 innings over his past three starts. Orioles left-hander Trevor Rogers (4-2) took the loss despite delivering his best start of the season, allowing one run and four hits in eight innings. He struck out a season-high eight and didn't walk a batter while throwing just 88 pitches. Rogers was coming off a solid month of July when he went 3-1 in four starts with a 1.03 ERA, most recently throwing seven shutout innings in an 18-0 win against the Rockies last Saturday. Rogers had a clean first inning before Carson Kelly singled to lead off the Cubs' second and Pete Crow-Armstrong followed with a double to center. Rogers struck out Dansby Swanson and Ian Happ gave Chicago a 1-0 lead with a sacrifice fly to right. Rogers settled in and retired the next 12 in a row before Matt Shaw doubled to lead off the sixth. He bounced back and retired the next three batters, two by strikeout. Horton walked two of the first three batters he faced before settling in and retiring 11 of the next 12. He walked the leadoff batter again in the fifth, but got Dylan Carlson to ground into a double play. Caleb Thielbar took over for Horton and pitched a 1-2-3 sixth, Andrew Kittredge did the same in the seventh, Brad Keller pitched around a one-out walk in the eighth, and Daniel Palencia stranded the tying run on second in the ninth for his 15th save. Baltimore traded several players leading up to Thursday's trade deadline, including center fielder Cedric Mullins, designated hitter Ryan O'Hearn, outfielder Ramon Laureano, infielder Ramon Urias and veteran right-hander Charlie Morton. --Field Level Media

Missouri couple claim their newborn baby's name has NOTHING to do with Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift after 'attention-seeking' backlash
Robert Dillon and Haley Richardson naming their newborn baby Kelce Taylor-Grace Dillion caused a stir online, with the parents claiming their choice had nothing to do with going viral. On Friday, Liberty Hospital at the University of Kansas revealed a sweet photo of a newborn on its Facebook page. The tyke was swaddled in a white blanket with a big yellow bow on her head, lying next to a red Kansas City Chiefs jersey with the name Kelce on it. A sign just above the infant's head featured a cartoon of Swift in cowboy boots and announced her name would be Kelce Taylor. Being in the heart of Chiefs Kingdom with a name like that was sure to get attention. Yet, the new parents insist it was the right fit for them and nothing having to do with public perception. 'We felt like the name was appropriate because we would like her to grow up to have his spirit of helping others and making sure his community is better off when he leaves than when he got there,' Dillon said per TODAY. 'Give her some really great people to kind of emulate as she gets older, if she wants to,' Richardson added. The post from Liberty Hospital has garnered more than 12k likes since it was posted. Plenty of reaction came in about the name. 'Send this to the podcast. I'm sure Travis would be honored,' suggested one commenter. 'Gosh I hope Travis and Taylor never break up,' wrote one cautious fan. Everything Kelce and Swift has had plenty of attention behind it since they became a public item in September 2023. Travis is about to enter another NFL season with plenty of speculation he could retire after his mainstream profile skyrocketed with having Swift on his arm. Swift has enjoyed more of a low-key 2025 after wrapping her worldwide 'Eras Tour' late last year. Swift nor Kelce have acknowledged the baby directly since its internet fame began.
