Ortiz not happy Red Sox offered his autograph for A-Rod's 660th HR ball without asking

On Friday night, Aex Rodriguez belted the 660th home run of his career, tying Willie Mays for fourth place on the all-time list. Rodriguez's solo home run came in the eighth inning of a 2-2 game aginst the Red Sox at Fenway Park, sweetening the pot of an already historic accomplishment. But the Red Sox fan who caught the ball was not exactly keen on giving to the Yankees and Rodriguez for safe keeping.  MORE: Will Yankees pay A-Rod his bonus? | A-Rod's image rehab worth every penny Mike Shuster, Sox fan who caught A-Rod's 660th homer, tells Post he won't give ball back to Rodriguez. — Dan Martin (@DanMartin_Post) May 2, 2015 In order to get the ball back, a member of Red Sox security tried to offer Shuster a David Ortiz autograph in exchange.

Hawks start petition to ban the use of backboards on game-winners

The Hawks are hurting in a big way. After rallying back from a large deficit in Game 3, Paul Pierce had the final say when he banked-in a jump shot over three defenders. It didn't matter that he didn't call glass — it all counts the same, and the Wizards now hold a 2-1 series lead.

Just the night before, Bulls guard Derrick Rose did much of the same to LeBron James' crew by kissing a 3-pointer off the backboard over Tristan Thompson's large reach to give them the victory. That weird sequence of events has led to this: A petition started by the Hawks to outlaw backboard usage on game-winning shot attempts.

With Puig on DL, Zack Grienke carries the bat-flipping load for Dodgers

Image
With Dodgers outfielder and prolific bat-flipper Yasiel Puig on the disabled list, someone needs to step up and provide post-hit theatrics. Nobody expected pitcher Zack Greinke to be that guy, not only because pitchers typically don't appreciate bat flips, but also because pitchers don't typically get hits.  You may have noticed we said "hit" and not "home run." That's because Greinke did a bat flip on a double. Bless you, Zack Greinke. Bless your bat-flipping heart. (Source: @ChadMoriyama) View the original article here
