Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue organization in Massachusetts, has recently introduced a dog named Blazer who is looking for his forever home. According to the nonprofit rescue organization, Blazer has had quite a journey. “Blazer was one of 7 dogs ‘saved’ by another rescue down in Texas and when he was just a young puppy. Then, he was abandoned by this ‘rescue’ and left in a boarding kennel for 9 months. He is now a little over a year old, and 55lbs.” Thanks to Sandy Paws Rescue Inc. for stepping in to help Blazer, he is now on the path to finding a family to love him.

Philadelphia Phillies designated hitter Kyle Schwarber is having a statistically interesting season. Schwarber is the most discussed leadoff hitter in baseball. Even with Schwarber missing time due to injury this season has been different at the plate. On August 7, Schwarber made Phillies history. No other Phillies player in their first three seasons in Philadelphia has hit at least 25 home runs. Schwarber also hit three home runs during that August 7 game. Earlier this season, Bryce Harper had a three-home run game. The 2024 season joins the 1936 season as the two seasons in Phillies history where multiple players had three home run games.

But the ones that succeed end up helping teams — sometimes helping them reach the postseason, other times helping them win the World Series. That success could be short-term in a rental or long-term over multiple seasons.
