CLEARWATER, Fla. — Aramis Garcia will never forget the sound he heard on July 28, 2023. It was a loud pop, almost like a gunshot. He turned toward the field and saw his Lehigh Valley teammate, Nick Podkul, flat on the ground. Blood was seeping into the dirt. Podkul, an infielder for the triple-A IronPigs, remembers it well. He remembers the pitcher — Syracuse Mets right-hander Jeff Brigham — and the pitch — a 92-mph fastball. Brigham is best known for his slider. It looks like it’s coming straight at you, until it breaks at the very last moment. That was what Podkul was expecting. As he watche...

The excitement for spring planting is building at a feverish pitch and many are wondering what they can do to add more pop to the landscape. The answer just may be ColorBlaze coleus, and I am not just talking a dab. A dab is precisely how many of you have looked at coleus. One little coleus here should do just fine.

The history of this nation is regrettably rife withstories of children being exploited, exhausted, injured and robbed of their educational potential by employers who saw them as little more than commodities. For all too brief a time, Florida leaders viewed that as a bad thing. They voted, often overwhelmingly, for laws that were even stronger than federal protections. Now, however, this state’s lawmakers appear eager to join other states that are abandoning those safeguards one by one. At the start of the 2024 legislative session, a quartet of bills that would tear gaping holes in Florida’s ch...

CLEARWATER, Fla. — Admit it: You think you can manage the Phillies. It’s OK. You’re not alone. Wannabe skippers are the fuel for sports-talk radio. Among the more popular items in the Phillies’ annual charity auction is a chance to assist with managing a spring-training game. Who among us hasn’t scribbled a lineup or two, or 100, or 1,000? For two years, the discourse about the Phillies’ batting order centered on Rob Thomson’s choice of leadoff hitter. But whatever you might think of Kyle Schwarber — and no, he doesn’t run well or make enough contact — he gets on base and sees as many pitches ...

NEW YORK — Mayor Eric Adams called off a plan Wednesday to cut all city agency budgets by 5% this spring — but also announced he’s going to slash nearly $600 million in projected spending on housing and services for newly arrived migrants. Under a plan first rolled out by City Hall in fall 2023, all agencies were supposed to face 5% budget reductions in April — on top of two previous rounds of 5% cuts in November and January — in order to offset costs associated with caring for the migrants. But in a statement Wednesday afternoon, the mayor said he’s canceling the April cuts thanks to “better-...

Wendy Williams’ family has spoken out on the health issues the former talk show host has reportedly faced behind the scenes in recent years — including alcoholism and Graves’ disease. The former talk show host’s loved ones spoke to People ahead of the Feb. 24 premiere of the two-night Lifetime special “Where Is Wendy Williams?” The project, executive produced by Williams, 54, was filmed from summer 2022 until last spring. It was then that the New Jersey native entered a facility to address the “cognitive issues” linked to alcohol use, as her son Kevin Hunter Jr. notes in the film. “The people ...

A previous victim of the man accused of killing a Queens mom sex worker in a SoHo hotel believes that if authorities in Florida had heeded her warnings, the slain woman would be alive today. Leah Palian, 26, first met Raad Almansoori last year when the two were working at an Orlando, Fla. restaurant, she told the Daily News. Months after she says he attacked her, on the day of the SoHo hotel slaying he called her, breaking an order of protection, to ask why she had treated him so badly, she says. He would eventually commit a horrifying sexual assault against her and come close to taking her li...

The Beatles are getting the film treatment as Oscar winner Sam Mendes gears up to helm four films from each of the Fab Four’s perspectives — for which there will be “nothing off limits.” The Academy Award-winning director of “American Beauty” told Deadline that he went to Hollywood late last year to pitch the films about John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. The projects, which are set to rock theaters in 2027, mark the first time the group’s full life story and music rights have been granted for a scripted film by the surviving Beatles and families of Lennon and Harris...

You’ve swiped right, had the first dates and are now “together” with a person. Great! Or is it? A client recently reached out to me and said, “I’ve been seeing this guy for about a month from Hinge. I’ve met his family already, mine know about him. We’ve met each other’s friends. When is it OK to define the relationship? Do I just assume we’re together?” Meetups with each other’s family and friends are definitely significant milestones that veer into “exclusive” or “couple” territory. For other people, this may be spending an important holiday together, exchanging thoughtful gifts or taking a ...
