Cardinals Bringing in Good Luck Charm Jon Gruden For Critical Cubs Series
Cardinals Bringing in Good Luck Charm Jon Gruden For Critical Cubs Series originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Fresh off an unexpected surge in local popularity during the St. Louis Blues' recent playoff run, Jon Gruden is set to throw out the ceremonial first pitch at Wednesday's Cardinals-Cubs showdown at Busch Stadium. Advertisement Gruden — a longtime NFL coach and fiery football personality who's kept his trademark intensity long after leaving the sidelines — now works as a sports personality for Barstool Sports. Gruden frequently gets sent large packages filled with gear and memorabilia from college and pro teams, which he unboxes on camera with his signature enthusiasm. His videos often include energetic shoutouts, nostalgic nods to team legends, and heartfelt appreciation for the gifts. Buccaneers head coach Jon Gruden holds up the Vince Lombardi Trophy after winning Super Bowl XXXVIII against the Oakland Raiders© ROBERT HANASHIRO / USA TODAY NETWORK Before the Blues' crucial Game 3 showdown against the Winnipeg Jets — trailing 0-2 in the series — Gruden appeared in a video on social media platform X, unboxing a package of team gear and delivering a jolt of energy. The clip quickly went viral, and Gruden leaned fully into his newfound bond with the Blues. Although the Blues were not able to pull away the series victory, losing the series 4-3 in shocking fashion, Gruden's love for St. Louis teams didn't slow down. On Wednesday, Gruden will be back in the city for a rivalry matchup between the St. Louis Cardinals (42-36) and the Chicago Cubs. The teams sit 3.5 games apart in the division with the Cubs holding a lead in the NL Central. The Cardinals sit one game behind the Milwaukee Brewers and will look to cut the Cubs lead by winning their four-game series. Advertisement The Cardinals exploded in Game 1 of the series on Monday, knocking four two-run homers en route to an 8-2 victory in St. Louis. Lars Nootbar hit his second home run in four games after going 16 games without one, and Willson Contreras went 3-for-4 in the batter's box to continue his hot start to the season. If Gruden's recent track record as a hype man is any indication, the Cardinals are hoping his presence at Busch Stadium can help spark another electric performance — and maybe even a little more magic in their push up the standings.

Australian teenager Gout Gout lowers his national record in the 200 in his first pro race in Europe
Associated Press OSTRAVA, Czech Republic (AP) — Gout Gout is 17, he's being compared with Usain Bolt and he has lowered his national record in his first professional race in Europe. The Australian high school senior improved his own national record when he won the 200 meters at the Golden Spike meet in Ostrava in 20.02 seconds. It's not the fastest he's ever run over the half-lap sprint, but it's gaining him more attention. Gout posted two wind-assisted times under 20 seconds, clocking 19.84 and 19.98 at the national championship at Perth in April, but neither was considered legal because the wind was above allowable threshholds. Even without those two sub-20 times, he's still in the top seven all-time for Under-20s, a list that includes Bolt, the great Jamaica sprinter who dominated the 2008 and 2012 Olympics. At age 16 last December, Gout ran 20.04 seconds to win the 200 at the national high school championships and break a 56-year-old national record over that distance set by 1968 Olympic silver medalist Peter Norman. Running in Lane 6 at Ostrava on Tuesday — the timing made it perfect for Wednesday morning TV news shows back in Australia — Gout finished powerfully to surge past Cuba's Reynier Mena on his inside over the last 30 meters. 'Another national record! Pretty happy with that. It's not a bad first-up in Europe," he said. 'I've felt stronger in training these last couple of months and I've felt good since I got to Europe last Thursday.' Gout was born in Ipswich, near Brisbane, in Queensland state. His parents are South Sudanese immigrants who moved to Australia in 2005. Gout will race again in Europe next month before returning to Australia for some school work and preparation for the world championships in Tokyo in September. ___ AP sports: in this topic
