Ohtani spoiled a first-pitch curveball and went on draw a rare walk from Cobb.Those, however, won’t amount to Cobb’s biggest pitches to Ohtani, set to hit free agency this winter, when he could command a contract of $500 million or more.“I’m already campaigning for him,” Cobb said after his inning of work, escaping without allowing a run.Careful to avoid tampering charges, Cobb began his answer by saying, “I don’t know how to answer that question appropriately, honestly.”But the 35-year-old veteran went on to explain — as if it needed any explanation — what the addition of Ohtani, who was voted into the All-Star Game as a hitt...

Bay Area native found dead in Yosemite after 7-day search Yriarte said a nurse practitioner who was also on the tour saved her by putting a tourniquet on her leg and calling for help. After an hourlong journey to the hospital, doctors took one look at her mangled leg and confirmed it was in fact a shark bite."I was probably a meter-and-a-half to two meters from the shore," she told KRON4. "When I felt a little push, I didn't think much of it. I just thought it was weird. I kept paddling. And then I felt my leg a little numb, or that a little weird. And then I paddle again and then I felt like my leg wasn't responding."She now has more than 100 stitches in her leg and five tendon repairs. After one, five-hour surgery ...

(KRON) -- An Oakland A's fan group planned a protest at the MLB All-Star Game in Seattle Tuesday night. During the fifth inning of the game, "Sell the Team" chants rang out at T-Mobile Park. The group, called Oakland 68s, passed out cards that said "Sell the Athletics" and outlined the plan for the protest. You can hear the chants in the video above. The chants were hardly audible during FOX's broadcast of the game, as the telecast cut to an interview with Los Angeles Angels star Shohei Ohtani while fans chanted. When A's All-Star outfielder Brent Rooker came up to the plate in the sixth inning, the chants started again. Rooker roped a ground-rule double to right field. It is the latest protest organized by Oakland fans after news broke in the spring that the team's ownership intended to relocate the franchise to Las Vegas. On June 13, A's fans drew national attention by packing the Oakland Coliseum for a "reverse boycott." Oakland Athletics start the process of applying to MLB fo...
