Game on! Yankees Old-Timers' Day 2025 features return of traditional alumni baseball game
In honoring the 25th anniversary of their 2000 World Series championship team on Aug. 9, the Yankees are also planning to host the traditional Old-Timers' Day baseball game.
They haven't played one of those at Yankee Stadium since 2019, opting last year for an on-field Q&A session that included Hall of Fame manager Joe Torre.
The manager of that 2000 World Series championship team that defeated the Mets in the Subway Series, Torre is scheduled to attend the 77th Old-Timers' Day.
He'll be joined by nine Monument Park inductees, seven players who've had their numbers retired by the Yankees, and a few first-time invitees.

Venus Williams Has Some Smashing News About Her Personal Life
A post-match interview with Venus Williams on Tuesday revealed that the 7-time Grand Slam singles winner is engaged to Andrea Preti, an actor and former model who was seeing her play in person for the first time. The juicy tidbit emerged as the former world No. 1 celebrated her victory over Peyton Stearns at the DC Open, making Williams, 45, the oldest player to win a tour-level singles match since Martina Navratilova did at age 47 in 2004. Williams had not played a match in well over a year. An on-court chat with interviewer Rennae Stubbs took a sweet gossipy turn when she said to Williams, 'You're now an engaged woman. So, how much has Andrea helped you in this comeback? You're happy, the smile on your face. I mean, how much has he made a difference in your life?' 'Yes, my fiancé is here,' Williams answered, prompting a spectator chorus of 'wooooo!' 'He really encouraged me to keep playing,' she added. 'There were so many times where I just wanted to coast and kind of chill. Do you know how hard it is to play tennis? You guys don't know how much work goes into this, like it's 9 to 5 except you're running the whole time. Lifting weights and just like dying and then you repeat it the next day. So he encouraged me to get through this and it's wonderful to be here. He's never seen me play.' Venus Williams on her fiancées support after getting 1st singles win since 2023'My fiancée is here. He really encouraged me to keep playing. Do you know how hard it is to play tennis? It's 9 to 5 except you're running the whole time' 😭😭😭😭 — The Tennis Letter (@TheTennisLetter) July 23, 2025 Here's Preti, 37, watching her post-match press conference: And here's the couple during Milan Fashion Week in February when the two fueled engagement whispers because Williams wore a diamond ring, according to People. Their relationship dates back to at least July 2024 when they were photographed on a boat off the Amalfi Coast, the outlet reported previously.

Former Marlins manager Jim Leyland is having a moment. See the big one in 1997
Florida Marlins Manager Jim Leyland left a legacy in South Florida, leading the team to its first World Series championship in 1997. With a lineup that included Moises Alou, Gary Sheffield and Bobby Bonilla, the Marlins won a seven-game series against the then-Cleveland Indians to become MLB champions. The Florida Marlins, which also won the World Series in 2003, became the Miami Marlins in 2012, when the team moved to the new loanDepot Park. In July 2025, Leyland was enshrined into the Marlins Legends Hall of Fame. He was inducted into the MLB Hall of Fame in 2024. Here is a look back at Leyland's World Series victory with the Marlins in 1997:

How to watch the 2025 3M Open, the PGA Tour's summer stopover in Minnesota
Golf's major season is in the books, bound and laminated by Scottie Scheffler's Dunluce dominance. There's still much to play for, though. This weekend's 3M Open teases out a prize pot of FedEx Cup points, possible Ryder Cup recognition and more than $8 million in cash. The PGA Tour heads up north to Arnold Palmer's Deacon's Walk, with first-round action starting Thursday morning. Early coverage of each round is available on ESPN+. CBS broadcasts can also be streamed on Paramount+. The course was designed by Palmer and fellow luminary Tom Lehman back in 2000. TPC Twin Cities boasts four par-5 holes (Nos. 3, 6, 12 and the fateful 18th at 596 yards), and it carries a 145 slope rating (by comparison, the Royal Portrush Golf Club at Dunluce comes in at 140). Last year's winner was Venezuelan veteran Jhonattan Vegas, who finished 17 under par and edged Max Greyserman by a single stroke. Advertisement As we approach opening tee-offs, this year's favorites are Americans Chris Gotterup and Sam Burns, each at +1800 outright on BetMGM. The latter has four top-10 placements this PGA season, most notably a second-place finish at the Canadian Open and then tying for No. 7 at the U.S. Open. Burns' hot June has been partially washed out by an underwhelming July; he tied for 45th at The Open Championship last weekend. The 28-year-old Louisianan scored a 70-65-69-69 at the 2024 3M Open, which was good for 12th. He hits the weekend 15th in Ryder Cup standings; the top six golfers make that national team, captained by Keegan Bradley. Gotterup, meanwhile, arrives in Minnesota on a career-defining run. He raised the Scottish quaich on July 13 at The Renaissance Club, beating out Rory McIlroy off the strength of a magnificent second-round score of 61. He followed that up with a third-place mark at The Open last weekend, recovering from an underwhelming first round to net north of a million dollars. Gotterup, who was born in Maryland and played collegiately at Oklahoma, is the hottest player in the field. He'll need another improbable showing to improve his No. 22 spot on the Ryder Cup table. Gotterup tied for 59th at last year's 3M. Maverick McNealy is third in odds at +2000. He's 11th in Ryder and FedEx Cup points. Scottie Scheffler doesn't need to explain himself. The answer is in the beginning Dustin Johnson ponders his future Matt Fitzpatrick can now say his struggles are behind him Oakmont suspends Wyndham Clark for damaging lockers after missing U.S. Open cut Courtesy of The Athletic's sports betting editor Vik Chokshi: My outright bets are usually based on a couple of models I follow, and I take into account course history and form. I also love betting on long shots, so you'll usually see a bunch of golfers in the +2000 or longer range on my card every week. Here are a couple of guys worth sprinkling pizza money on this week: Outright winner picks (odds via BetMGM) Max Greyserman +3300 Emiliano Grillo +4500 Austin Eckroat +9000 (Photo of Sam Burns: Alex Goodlett / Getty Images)
