Prior to storms developing in the region it was still hot today. The heat index still managed to get up to 110° in Peoria.
Ryno was a Hall of Famer on and off the field whose love for the game inspired baseball fans everywhere. His legacy will live on in Chicago for generations to come. May his memory be a blessing.

Incredibly sad news. Sandberg was also the Peoria Chiefs manager in 2007 and 2008. He regularly signed autographs for fans who lined up for an hour before the first pitch of games.
We are deeply saddened by the passing of Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg. The beloved Cubs second baseman was a five-tool model of consistency in the 1980s and early ’90s, making 10 consecutive All-Star teams and winning 9 straight Gold Glove awards. On June 23, 1984, a national TV…

Cal Raleigh is only the 7th catcher EVER to have a 40 home run season ... it's only July 🤯
CRUSHED 💥 Cal Raleigh evaporated this baseball 416 feet for his 40th home run of the season!

Get ready for some HEAVY rain. These storms are packing some wind too. Remember not to drive on any flooded roads if you're out and about tonight. More storms are in the forecast Saturday too Heavy Rain

Brian Wardle and BU agree to another contract extension. He last received one in 2023 after the Braves went to the MVC title game and won the regular season championship for the first time in 27 years.
Bradley Athletics is proud to announce a contract extension for Bradley Basketball Head Coach Brian Wardle, reaffirming our commitment to long-term success and stability within the men’s basketball program.
Trading for him instead of Eugenio Suarez is certainly a choice.
