Baseball is an old-folks sport. Old folks play it. Old folks watch it. Old folks love to talk to you about why sabermetrics are the devil at social functions and not stop until you drown yourself in the punch bowl. The Pittsburgh Pirates are looking to change all that, however, with their newest mid-inning entertainment offering—a Mario-themed coin contest designed to bring out the '90s kid in all of us. Behold the unbridled genius.

Despite being based on a 36-year-old sidescroller, this fun little diversion looks positively modern by ballpark standards, beating out a race of turn-of-the-century presidents, kettle corn with fake tattoos hidden in it, and a song by some old guy named Neil Diamond. At this rate, we might even see seventh-inning-stretch Guitar Hero battles by 2050.

Look on the bright side, downtrodden people of earth: At least you're not Arturo Vidal right now. On Tuesday night, Barcelona cruised into Liverpool leading 3-0 after the first-leg of the Champions League semi-final. With Liverpool needing to score four, victory for the Catalan Club—still riding the wave of Leo Messi's science-bending free kick in the reverse fixture—seemed all but assured…

Kevin Na has been walking in putts early for some time now, but it hasn't quite become the stuff of legend until 2019. It helps when Tiger Woods joins the movement … at the Players Championship … on the 17th hole's Island Green … while playing with Na himself:
Unfortunately, Na won't yucking it up again with Tiger this week at the AT&T Byron Nelson, but he may have found the next-best partner on Tuesday at Trinity Forest Golf Club. Na was joined for a practice round by Tony Romo, who is making his third start in a PGA Tour event this week at his home club in Dallas via a sponsor's exemption.
