Tom PenningtonBaseball just isn't the same without Big Sexy. When the man known to friends, family and the DMV as Bartolo Colón retired last year, he left a bowling ball-shaped void in the heart of baseball. The skies wept, the hot dogs went cold and “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” suddenly rang hollow. But fear not, fans of girth and gas (the fastball kind, not the other…though probably that too), because Big Sexy is officially back!
Well, sort of.
On Wednesday, Colón officially announced his new memoir, which promises to tell the story of Colón's rise from a humble coffee picker in the Dominican Republic to one of the most beloved names in baseball. The literary game-changer, titled 'Big Sexy' for obvious reasons, is co-written by Bartolo himself and Michael Stahl, a Queens native with bylines for Rolling Stone, Vice, and more, and will feature over 100 color photographs chronicling the 21-year career of the winningest latin American pitcher in MLB history.

“They're trying. They're trying,” Durant said. “It's hard to get the best players to play here. It's hard … I think a lot of fans look at the Knicks as a brand and expect these younger players who, in their lifetime, don't remember the Knicks being good. I didn't grow up with the Knicks. I've seen the Knicks in the Finals, but kids coming up after me didn't see that. So that whole brand of the Knicks to them is not as cool as, let's say, the Golden State Wa..

Depending on the location, golf at the high school level is considered a spring or fall sport. Or, in the case of Montana, winter.
At least that's what these scenes conveyed in Great Falls, Mont., during the state championship earlier this week.

Weather—406mtsports.com reports that snow fell for four consecutive hours—that wreaked havoc on the scores, right? Not quite: According to the Montana High School Association, the competitors were a combined 240 strokes better on the snow-plagued round than the day before. Because clearly Montana kids are tougher than all of us.
