🔼 Mad Max. After being away for three months, it usually takes some adjustment time to get back in the swing of things.

Well, like we’ve learned before Max Muncy isn’t normal.

Returning to the Dodgers lineup this week for the first time since May 19th, Muncy is 4-for-10 with two HRs and six RBI to help Los Angeles to three wins and the best record in all of Major League Baseball.

🎥 BAYLOR+: COMING SOON….

In celebration of the 50th anniversary of one of the most inspiring underdog stories in college football history, Baylor+ announced today the upcoming premiere of a new original documentary, The Miracle on the Brazos. 

The film tells the complete story of the 1974 Baylor Bears football team under legendary head coach Grant Teaff, who defied all odds to capture their first undisputed conference title in 50 years.  

Predicted to finish last in the Southwest Conference, Baylor dropped its first two games of the 1974 season before the Bears won 8 of their next 9 – including the iconic comeback victory against Texas – en route to an appearance in the Cotton Bowl.
