ESPN signs Dick Vitale to multi-year extension, creates annual event in his honor
ESPN signs Dick Vitale to multi-year extension, creates annual event in his honor Show Caption Hide Caption Dick Vitale talks cancer awareness and Clemson vs Duke basketball game Dick Vitale ESPN tv personality talks cancer awareness and Clemson vs Duke basketball game On his 86th birthday, Dick Vitale got a pair of gifts he won't soon forget. The legendary ESPN college basketball analyst has signed a multi-year contract extension through the 2027-28 season, the network announced on June 9. Additionally, ESPN unveiled the creation of the Dick Vitale Invitational, an annual men's college basketball event that will honor the color commentator and former coach. The inaugural Dick Vitale Invitational will feature Duke against Texas on Nov. 4 at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. REQUIRED READING: The 2025 NBA draft deadline has passed. Who are the college basketball winners and losers? 'I couldn't believe it when I got the call from ESPN,' Vitale said to ESPN. 'They said, 'we want to have a big game called the Dick Vitale Invitational.' I said, 'are you serious?!' All of the people at ESPN, starting with (ESPN chairman) Jimmy Pitaro, and all of my friends and colleagues have been so great to me especially with my recent battles with cancer. They've been by my side from day one and to do this is unbelievable. Long after I'm gone, to still have a game out there with my name attached to it? Wow, that is truly unbelievable!' Vitale has been with ESPN since 1979, joining as a college basketball analyst shortly after the network went on the air. During that time, he has called over 1,000 games and become synonymous with ESPN's college basketball coverage with his high energy, colorful personality and famous catchphrases. His latest contract will stretch his ESPN tenure to nearly 50 years. Vitale's on-air work has earned him induction into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and the Sports Broadcasting Hall of Fame. In April, he received the Dean Smith Award, which is given out annually by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association to 'an individual in college basketball who embodies the spirit and values' of the iconic former North Carolina coach. Vitale has been a more infrequent presence on ESPN over the past several years as he has undergone treatment for various forms of cancer. He called his first game in nearly two years in February, when Clemson upset No. 2 Duke. 'Dick is the heart of college basketball, and his kindness, generosity and courage are a constant inspiration to us all,' Pitaro said in a statement. 'Through the creation of the Dick Vitale Invitational, we will celebrate him and his profound impact on the sport. We are also thrilled that Dick will remain a signature voice on ESPN through the 2027-28 season.'

Cardinals Can End 39-Year Drought, and You Can Help
Cardinals Can End 39-Year Drought, and You Can Help originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Fan voting for this year's MLB All-Star Game is underway. Phase 1 of voting began yesterday and will run through noon ET on Thursday, June 26. Advertisement After Ryan Helsley was the lone Cardinals' all star in 2024, this year's team has a few players with strong cases for the All-Star Game, which will take place in Atlanta on Tuesday, July 15. Among the Cardinals' possible All-Star candidates are shortstop Masyn Winn and designated hitter Iván Herrera, but it's second baseman Brendan Donovan who appears most likely to represent the team in Atlanta. Donovan is off to an incredible start in 2025, slashing .321/.384/.462 through 57 games. He leads all qualified NL primary second basemen in batting average, on-base percentage, slugging perecentage, wRC+ and WAR, among other statistics. Advertisement If selected as the NL's starting second baseman for the All-Star Game, Donovan would be the first Cardinal to do so since Tom Herr in 1985, ending a 39-year drought. Donovan finished third in rookie of the year voting in 2022 and was named a Gold Glover that same year, but is yet to play in an All-Star Game. Cardinals second baseman Brendan DonovanTim Heitman-Imagn Images In order to be named this year's starter at second base, Donovan will first need to finish inside the top two at his position in Phase 1 of fan voting. During Phase 1 of voting, fans can cast five ballots every 24 hours on the MLB website. The results of Phase 1 will be announced on Thursday, June 26. The top two vote-getters at each position (and top six outfliders) will then move on to Phase 2 of fan voting to determine who starts in the All-Star Game. Phase 2 runs from noon ET on Monday to noon ET on Wednesday, July 2, and fans are only allowed to vote once every 24 hours. Advertisement Finally, the starters at each position will be announced at 7 p.m. ET on July 2, with the pitchers and reserves being announced at 5 p.m. ET on Sunday, July 6.
