There had been 347 cycles hit in MLB history before Thursday. If you were asked before the game to choose a Philadelphia Phillies player to hit for the cycle — a single, double, triple and home run — you likely wouldn't have ended up on Weston Wilson. That's why baseball is the best. Seemingly, anything can happen at any given time, and it did on Thursday.

In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

Hollywood child stardom has taken its toll on many actors through the decades. Lani O'Grady, for one, found fame in the 1970s on the TV family series, Eight is Enough. O'Grady followed in the footsteps of her brother, actor Don Grady, an original Mouseketeer and member of another popular TV family show: My Three Sons. Their mother, Mary B. Grady, was a talent agent who represented several child actors. But Lani, who would also eventually become an agent, died in 2001 just one week before what would have been her 47th birthday.

I wasn't expecting much when I set up the Hisense U8K in my office/game room. But as I ran the TV through my usual gauntlet of tests, the U8K impressed me in every way that matters. With bright, vibrant images, and crisp audio, as well as customizable refresh rates and contrast calibration, the Hisense U8K is well worth the money, especially if you're a console gamer.

After speeding up games by instituting the pitch clock, MLB might make a move to require starting pitchers to pitch at least six innings. According to ESPN, MLB is “interested in increasing the amount of action in the game, restoring the prominence of the starting pitcher, and reducing the prevalence of pitching injuries.” A few years ago, the league looked at making a tweak to the rules surrounding the designated hitter. They used the Atlantic League to beta-test the double-hook DH rule during the 2022 season. Starting in 2023, a team could keep its DH should a starting pitcher complete five innings. While the DH theoretically adds more offensive production to ballgames, there are baseball purists who would prefer to see games without the DH. It’s quite possible that MLB sets a pitching staff limit while bringing the double-hook DH rule to the major league level.

This year’s area of low oxygen in the Gulf of Mexico is larger than average, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced on Thursday. The “dead zone” is approximately 6,705 square miles , as measured last week. Within NOAA’s 38 years of measuring the dead zone, this year’s assessment marks the 12th-largest area of low to no oxygen, which can kill fish and marine life.

Major League Baseball is reportedly mulling a six-inning requirement for starting pitchers. 

ESPN’s Jesse Rogers reported Thursday that the league is exploring the rule change as it aims to “restore the prestige of the starting pitcher,” among other on-field goals. 

League officials floated a set of exceptions to the proposed rule, per Rogers, including the pitcher suffering an injury, throwing more than 100 pitches or allowing four or more earned runs.

In addition to reestablishing the starter as a given game’s main character, an anonymous MLB official told Rogers that the league...
