Livvy Dunne's ‘holy crap' reaction to Oneil Cruz's Home Run Derby bombs
The social media sensation and former LSU gymnast was on hand, along with her boyfriend, Pirates star pitcher Paul Skenes, for the All-Star Game festivities.
In the video she posted, Dunne wrote 'holy cr@p' to accompany the video and could also be heard saying 'oh my god' as she recorded one of Cruz's 21 home runs and then turned the camera back to her to show her shocked expression.

The baseball power couple arrived in Atlanta on Sunday night after flying down on a private jet and, according to TMZ, Cruz had been on the flight with them.
Cruz hit 21 homers in the first round to advance to the semifinals and he crushed a 513-foot home run to tie Yankees slugger Aaron Judge for the longest homer in derby history – outside of Coors Field – since Statcast started tracking them in 2016.

Cooper Kupp congratulates Cal Raleigh on his Home Run Derby victory
For the first time in the history of baseball, a catcher has won the Home Run Derby... and he is a Seattle Mariner! On Monday night, Cal Raleigh's historic season just became a little more iconic with the Big Dumper earning a Home Run Derby championship, becoming the first Mariner since Ken Griffey Jr. did so three times during the 1990's. Raleigh barely - and quite literally - inched out Brent Rooker in round one, having hit tiebreaking ball 0.08 inches further than the Athletics' star. Raleigh then created insurmountable leads in the semifinal and championship round against Oneil Cruz of the Pirates and Junior Caminero of the Rays to win it all. Of course, Raleigh's neighbors to the north, the Seattle Seahawks, certainly noticed his historic performance. However, the Seahawks franchise was not the only ones to celebrate the Big Dumper's achievement. Fellow Seattle sports figure Cooper Kupp took to Twitter as well to praise the American League MVP contender. Cal Raleigh, and the Mariners, will be back in action this coming Friday night for a crucial divisional series against the loathsome Houston Astros. Seattle (51-45) is five games back of Houston for first place in the AL West, and are holding a 1.5 lead over the Tampa Bay Rays for the final Wild Card spot. The Mariners have an opportunity to make up some serious ground on the Astros, and will need every home run Raleigh can deliver this weekend.

Major League Baseball, union could let big leaguers in 2028 Olympics during extended All-Star break
Associated Press ATLANTA (AP) — Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred and players' union head Tony Clark say plans are moving ahead exploring the possibility of using major leaguers in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, a tournament that could be played on an extended All-Star break. 'I think it is a opportunity to market the game on a really global stage,' Manfred told the Baseball Writers' Association of America on Tuesday. 'Obviously the clubs are going to have to endorse this. I mean, this it's a big deal.' MLB met with Los Angeles organizers Monday in Atlanta ahead of the All-Star Game and Manfred said the Olympic officials were meeting with the Major League Baseball Players Association. 'There's a lot of work that still needs to be done,' Clark told the BBWAA in a separate session. "We do know players are interested in playing, whether it's for the Team USA or any number of other teams around the world. ... There's just a lot of conversation that needs to be had sooner rather than later to see how viable this is, but we're hopeful that we can figure our way through it for the benefit of the game." The World Baseball Softball Confederation said Monday the baseball tournament will be played from July 15-20 at Dodger Stadium. MLB is considering whether it can interrupt its 2028 season to allow major leaguers to participate, which could necessitate changes to the sport's national television contracts. 'They put out a schedule. They tell you it's not going to move. We'll see whether there's any movement on that,' Manfred said. 'It is possible to take it, to play the All-Star Game in its normal spot, have a single break that would be longer, obviously, but still play 162 games without bleeding into the middle of November. That is possible, OK? It would require significant accommodations, but it's possible.' MLB did not allow players on 40-man rosters to participate in the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, when Nippon Professional Baseball interrupted its season and Japan beat the U.S. 2-0 in the gold medal game. 'In the event that major league players are going to play, what does that mean and what does that look like?" Clark said. "And perhaps just as importantly, what does it mean for those players who aren't participating? What type of scheduling adjustments need to be made? What type travel considerations and support need to considered? What does that means in regards to insurance?' ___ AP MLB: recommended Item 1 of 3

How much are the cheapest Chris Stapleton concert tickets?
Vivid Seats is the New York Post's official ticketing partner. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. Grab yer Stetson, pardner. Chris Stapleton is midway through his annual 'All-American Roadshow Tour' and has another 17 shows and festival dates remaining on his 2025-26 calendar. That includes three (!) in New York State. First up, the 11-time Grammy winner gallops into Belmont Park's UBS Arena on Wednesday, July 23 with special guests Margo Price and Nikki Lane. Soon after, he'll lasso his crew and trot into New York City's Madison Square Garden for a pair of concerts. They'll take place on Friday, July 25 and Saturday, July 26. Grace Potter joins him at both shows. If you want to be there to see the powerfully-voiced singer croon along with his wife Morgane and backing band live, tickets are available for all of his upcoming concerts. At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on tickets for any one show was $87 including fees on Vivid Seats. Other non-festival headlining shows have tickets starting anywhere from $89 to $397 including fees. Based on our findings at Set List FM, the 47-year-old country superstar has been performing roughly 25-26 songs at concerts with little variation. Stapleton staples like 'Outlaw Song,' 'Traveller,' 'Tennessee Whiskey,' 'It Takes a Woman' and 'Bad As I Used To Be' (from the recently-released summer blockbuster 'F1') always make the cut; occasionally a fan request sneaks in too. 'While playing, Stapleton appeared reserved, with a right-to-work demeanor when it came to each song,' On Milwaukee wrote about his recent set at the Harley-Davidson Homecoming. That is, of course, while still being able to casually deliver proficient guitar work whenever he felt like he needed to, and carrying vocals along with his wife, Morgane, by his side. The duo would harmonize with one another with an intimacy about it that felt like you were a guest in their living room, with about 50,000 other houseguests.'

'Outlaw State of Mind' Chris Stapleton New York special guests At all 'All-American Road Show Tour' concerts, Stapleton will bring a talented friend or two along for the ride. To make sure you're familiar with their respective sounds for his New York shows, our team found each act's most streamed song on Spotify. Margo Price: 'Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die' (with Willie Nelson) Nikki Lane: 'Breaking Up Slowly' Grace Potter: 'Love Is Love' Chris Stapleton new music Stapleton dropped his fifth studio album 'Higher' in November 2023. Made up of 14 soulful tracks, the record features all the classic elements that make Stapleton records special. That's to say, 'Higher' is gritty, lo-fi and painfully vulnerable. We were particularly moved by the tearful sing-a-long 'What Am I Gonna Do,' hard-edged 'South Dakota' and stripped down, intimate 'It Takes A Woman.' Bluesy 'Think I'm In Love With You,' laid-back 'Loving You On My Mind' and low-key 'Higher' are also worthy of repeat plays. Still, the must-listen here is the anthemic, hard-charging 'White Horse' that Stapleton absolutely wails on for nearly 4.5 minutes. The country-fried 'Crosswind' ain't half bad either. To listen to the heartfelt 'Higher' in its entirety, you can find the classic rock-like album here.
