Yankees' Paul Goldschmidt breaks silence on emotional Cardinals return
Yankees' Paul Goldschmidt breaks silence on emotional Cardinals return originally appeared on The Sporting News The St. Louis Cardinals have seen a lot of veterans leave over the past several years, and following the 2024 season, Paul Goldschmidt departed in free agency, signing a deal with the New York Yankees. For the first time since joining the Yankees, Goldschmidt returned to St. Louis. In a piece from Jeff Jones of Goldschmidt's comments on his emotional return to a city he called home for six years. "Driving in today, this was my drive every day for six years; it's pretty cool," Goldschmidt said. "Probably just a lot of positive memories to try to block out the bad ones. Just all great memories, the great games, the relationships I have with all the guys over there." After spending more than half a decade with the Cardinals, it's no surprise that his return as a former player was an emotional one. There are a lot of his former teammates in the Cardinals' dugout, and that is something that Goldschmidt emphasized. "I have so many fond memories," Goldschmidt said, "so many lifelong friends over there in that dugout." But, even though the reunion is touching, Goldschmidt will do everything in his power to make sure he beats his former team. "That's going to be fun, but once the game starts," Goldschmidt said, "you know how serious I am. I want to always go out there and, number one, try to win. I'll say hi to people before or after the games, but I've got a job to do." MORE: Cardinals' pair of left-handed-hitting outfielders could be dealt in offseason During his six-year Cardinals tenure, aside from his 2022 MVP award, he had 874 hits, 495 runs scored, 179 doubles, 153 home runs, 477 RBIs, and had an .843 OPS across six years and 836 games played. He's spent eight seasons with the Arizona Diamondbacks and six with the Cardinals, and now, he's in the American League with the Yankees. He's having a solid year and is a big contributor to the Yankees' success in 2025. His return to St. Louis isn't the first time he's experienced returning to his former team's stadium, as he's done so plenty of times with the Diamondbacks. But it's his first return to the Cardinals. In the first game of the series, he didn't get an at-bat as he's nursing a mild sprain in his knee. But, he did come in as a defensive replacement late in the game, and helped the Yankees win 4-3 over the Cardinals. Amid his return to St. Louis, Goldschmidt was retrospective and looked back on his time with the Cardinals fondly. While they came up short in the postseason, his six seasons in St. Louis were a big success and well worth the trade and contract the Cardinals spent to bring him to St. Louis.

Formula D Car Taken Out by New Jersey Storm
The latest car news, reviews, and features. A nasty storm tore through parts of New Jersey Thursday afternoon, causing chaos at the Formula Drift event at Englishtown. It was particularly gnarly for Jeff Jones, who returned to the paddock to find a tree had fallen on his Z, puncturing the windshield and crushing the roof. Nobody was hurt in the incident, but the damage to the car was enough for Jones to rule out its participation in this weekend's event. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Formula DRIFT (@formulad) Jones shared photos and videos of the damage on Instagram, and even took over the official Formula D live stream to let fans know he was unharmed ( Warning: the clip above contains some colorful language ). He even jokingly asks if anybody has a spare drift car that he can enter into the event on Saturday. From the up-close pics, it appears that the culprit was a mature but diseased oak tree. It crushed much of the roof over the Z's passenger compartment and blew out the windshield entirely. Enough of it was resting on the car to completely bottom out its suspension. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jeff Jones (@jeffjonesracing) The good news is that the entire front clip of the car appears relatively undamaged, so everything under hood should have survived relatively unscathed. Even the driver-side door still opens. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jeff Jones (@jeffjonesracing) According to local weather forecasters have ruled out the likelihood that the damage was caused by a tornado, suggesting instead that it was caused by simple (but no less dangerous) straight-line winds. Local observers reported gusts exceeding 60 mph between 4:00 and 4:30 PM Thursday as the system moved through. Got flora crashing through your drift car's windshield?

Survey: Almost 1 in 10 American adults say they are LGBTQ+
The share of American adults who say they are part of the LGBTQ+ community continues to rise, according to new Gallup polling released Thursday. The big picture: LGBTQ+ people — who today are estimated to make up some 9.3% of U.S. adults according to the Gallup poll — have been rocked by the Trump administration's unprecedented barrage of executive actions, threatening access to health care, military service and federal recognition. By the numbers: Between Gallup's polling in 2020 and 2024, the percentage of LGBTQ+ American adults has nearly doubled, with identification leaping as younger generations enter adulthood. More than one in five Gen Z adults (23.1%), which Gallup considers those born between 1997 and 2006, said they are LGBTQ+. Democrats and independents are also far more likely than Republicans to consider themselves to be LGBTQ+, as are people who live in cities and suburbs compared to those in rural areas. Flashback: In 2012, when Gallup first started tracking LGBTQ+ identification, 3.5% of respondents considered themselves to be lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender. That number has nearly tripled in the ensuing 22 years. Between 2021 and 2023, the percentage inched from 7.1% to 7.6% — but 2024 saw the estimate hop more than a percentage point. The latest: Despite making up only 1.3% of U.S. adults in Gallup's 2024 survey, transgender people in particular have recently been entangled in deeply personal political discourse, with lawmakers from outside the community weighing policies with widespread repercussions. Gallup's poll was conducted in 2024, before Trump began his second presidential term. State of play: However, Trump's White House return has seen dozens of federal webpages and datasets wiped of references to transgender issues in accordance with the president's executive orders. Language that once addressed LGBTQI+ people now reads"LGB," including on the National Park Services' Stonewall monument website. Pages that a federal judge ordered to be restored feature a notice that the administration "rejects gender ideology" and that any information promoting it is "extremely inaccurate." Yes, but: Attacks on the trans community, notably on access to gender-affirming care, preceded Trump's return to the White House. Zoom in: Among the almost 900 LGBTQ+ people Gallup interviewed in 2024, more than half (56%) considered themselves to be bisexual. Again, younger generations of adults were far more likely to identify as bisexual than older people: According to Gallup's findings, more than half of Gen Z (59%) and millennial (52%) LGBTQ+ people are bisexual. What's next: Jeff Jones, a senior editor at Gallup, told NBC News a notable milestone — one in 10 Americans identifying as LGBTQ+ — seems to be only a "few years away," where before he expected it "could have been a couple decades or so." Methodology: Results for the Gallup poll are based on telephone interviews conducted in 2024, with combined random samples totaling 14,162 adults, aged 18 and older, living in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. For results based on the total sample of national adults, the margin of sampling error is ±1 percentage point at the 95% confidence level.
