The Little League World Series put Mo'ne Davis on the cover of Sports Illustrated seven years ago. Now she's hoping to become famous again.

The cruise, slated for next week, stirred memories of the 2005 "Love Boat" fiasco that became a notorious off-the-field part of team history.

It was a quiet and harmless three at-bats for Josh Donaldson on his way to an 0-for-5 night, which included the final out of the game. Here's how it was reported by the New York media.

Minnehaha Academy teammates Jalen Suggs and Chet Holmgren packed gyms and made videos go viral. Now, Holmgren is replacing Suggs as the incoming college freshman everyone is talking about.

Giancarlo Stanton went a month without hitting a home run and had only five hits. Then he came to Target Field and started banging the ball.

Randy Dobnak had never allowed four homers. Nor had he ever issued three walks or so many runs in a start. The problems may have been caused in part by a pregame decision he made.

The 15-month sentence given Tuesday for Brett J. Stimac, 41, by U.S. District Judge Susan Nelson also included a year of supervised release and a $9,500 fine.

The Yankees belted four home runs off starter Twins Randy Dobnak, who visited a nail salon earlier in the day in hopes of finding a quick cure to a nagging blister.

The Twins won't rush Byron Buxton's return to the majors, which suffered a delay Wednesday when rain made the field too slick for him to play in center field as planned.
