Pennsylvania family celebrates rare baseball double — sons in College World Series, Little League World Series
It's been a dream summer of baseball for the Mihos family, who live in Chester Springs, Pennsylvania, and one they say they'll never forget. In June, their middle son, Dean Mihos, played in the College World Series for Coastal Carolina. Now, just weeks later, their youngest son, Theo, is preparing to take the field in Williamsport for the Little League World Series, representing Glenmoore. "My husband put a baseball bat and a glove in their hands and said, 'Go play.' And this is where it's led us to," said Sabrina Mihos, the boys' mom. Back in June, Dean Mihos' run to Omaha with Coastal Carolina was a milestone moment for the family. "Alex and I and Theo, we made it there, and that was an incredible experience," said Ari Mihos, their father. But just when they thought the excitement had ended, the Mihos family was once again packing bags for another once-in-a-lifetime trip, this time to Williamsport. "I thought it was over back in June with the men's College World Series in Omaha," Sabrina Mihos said. "But here we are again, going to Williamsport." Theo, 11, plays second base and will suit up for Glenmoore in Thursday's opening game. "He's excited, but like any 11-year-old, he's also a little bit homesick," Ari Mihos said. "I was an average athlete. I think all my kids' athletic ability come from my wife, more than me, so I'll give her the credit for that." Theo isn't on this journey alone. His two older brothers have been both inspiration and support. "It's a testament to the work they put in. They fell in love with the game," Sabrina Mihos said. "I gave up a couple of journeys to the beach, holidays, because we have a batting cage in the back." Their oldest son, Alex Mihos, just graduated from Widener University, where he pitched for the baseball team. "Theo is becoming a great young man, and Dean is an exceptional leader," Alex Mihos said. "I tried hard," Alex Mihos said. "But watching them accomplish basically my dreams ... is just surreal. It's surreal for me, and I know it's surreal for my parents, too." While the Mihos family is certainly proud of their sons' baseball achievements, they say the lessons go far beyond the field. "We've all been on this journey together, and I'm just so proud of them," Sabrina Mihos said. No matter what happens on the field in Williamsport this week, the Mihos family says they've already won, together.

Ryan Williams ditched nail polish this summer, but will it return for Alabama football season?
Wide receiver Ryan Williams brought a tradition of his own to Alabama football last season. "Hollywood" went viral week after week for what color his fingernails were painted, donning purple, yellow and green ahead of LSU and even going as far inking an NIL deal with polish brand Sally Hansen. However, the sophomore star's nails were noticeably bare at media day. Williams was willing to offer an explanation for the absence, and whether his iconic manicures will make another appearance this season. MORE FROM MEDIA DAY! Who wins in an Alabama football footrace: Ryan Williams or Rico Scott? 'He ain't faster than me' WHAT RYAN WILLIAMS SAID: Why Alabama football quarterback Ty Simpson 'knows he deserves to talk' this season "It's just been, you know, fall camp, and even this summer I don't think I have really," Williams said. Instead, Williams says his offseason has "just been focused on ball." Will Ryan Williams' painted nails be making a comeback for Alabama football 2025 season? As the season heats up with the first kickoff of the fall on August 30 at Florida State, is there time for the painted nails to make a comeback? "1,000 percent," Williams said. He knew exactly what question was coming next. What color is up first? Will it be the Florida State's Garnet and Gold? Could he switch it up with FSU's Seminole Heritage turquoise? Or will Williams start his second season with a traditional Crimson and White? Just like last year, it's not going to be up to him. "I've got to ask my little sister first," Williams said.
