MLB Notes: Giants Close Book on Benitez, Trade Him Page 1 of 1 6/1 Page 1 of 1 MLB notes: Giants close book on Benitez, trade him Associated Press Inside SOCAL Article Last Updated:05/31/2007 11:01:10 PM PDT The San Francisco Giants traded struggling closer Armando Benitez to the Florida Marlins for reliever Randy Messenger on Thursday night. Benitez was not in the clubhouse after the Giants' 4-2 loss and his locker was completely cleaned out. "Maybe Elvis has left the building," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. Benitez was 0-3 with nine saves in 11 chances and a 4.67 ERA. His final game for the Giants was Tuesday night, when he balked twice in the 12th inning of a 5-4 loss to the New York Mets. On his last pitch for San Francisco, he gave up a game-ending home run to Carlos Delgado. Benitez is owed $5,066,666 from the remainder of his $7.6 million salary this year, of which Florida will pay $333,333 and San Francisco will pay $4,733,333. The 34-year-old Benitez returns to Florida, where he set a team record with a career-high 47saves in 2004. Weaver rejects rehab assignment: Injured Seattle starter Jeff Weaver (Simi Valley) and the Mariners are downplaying the veteran avoiding a trip to the minor leagues to rehabilitate his tired shoulder. Seattle wanted to send its No. 5 starter to perhaps two minor league outings to finish a stint on the disabled list that began May 11. But Weaver said he didn't need the trip. Weaver, 0-6 with a 14.32 ERA, said having a bullpen session Thursday and an 85-pitch simulated game Sunday instead is not a disagreement with his sixth team in six years. "No, there's no disagreement," Weaver said. "It was always something we were going to discuss." Restraining order against Dukes: Tampa Bay rookie Elijah Dukes is not allowed to contact his estranged wife, NiShea Gilbert, for a year under terms of a restraining order she sought after being threatened by the 22-year-old outfielder. Gilbert sought a restraining order after receiving a threatening message on her cell phone, as well as a text message containing a picture of a handgun. She also said Dukes threatened her at the middle school where she's a teacher. Also: New York Yankees designated hitter Jason Giambi will be sidelined at least three weeks and possibly far longer after tearing tissue in the arch of his left foot while rounding the bases on a home run. ... Houston Astros owner Drayton McLane voiced support for manager Phil Garner and general manager Tim Purpura amid the team's longest losing streak in 12 years. Entering Thursday, the Astros had lost 10 in a row, their longest skid since they dropped 11 straight games in August 1995.... Arizona signed Max Scherzer, its 2006 top draft pick and a former University of Missouri ace, to a four-year, $4.3 million contract - minutes before the Diamondbacks would have lost his rights, which would have made him eligible for the 2007 draft. ... A state investigation found no evidence workers at Mike Shannon's restaurant in St.Louis knew Josh Hancock was drunk when they served the Cardinals pitcher alcohol in the hours prior to his fatal accident. ... Left-hander Bobby Paschal (Cal State Northridge) signed to play with the Colorado organization.

    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES FRIDAY, JULY 28, 2017 BLACKMON WORKING TOWARD HISTORIC SEASON On Sunday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Coors Field, Colorado Rockies All-Star outfi elder Charlie Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and his 24th home run of the season. With the round-tripper, Blackmon recorded his 57th extra-base hit on the season, which include 20 doubles, 13 triples and his aforementioned 24 home runs. Pacing the Majors in triples, Blackmon trails only his teammate, All-Star Nolan Arenado for the most extra-base hits (60) in the Majors. Blackmon is looking to become the fi rst Major League player to log at least 20 doubles, 20 triples and 20 home runs in a single season since Curtis Granderson (38-23-23) and Jimmy Rollins (38-20-30) both accomplished the feat during the 2007 season. Since 1901, there have only been seven 20-20-20 players, including Granderson, Rollins, Hall of Famers George Brett (1979) and Willie Mays (1957), Jeff Heath (1941), Hall of Famer Jim Bottomley (1928) and Frank Schulte, who did so during his MVP-winning 1911 season. Charlie would become the fi rst Rockies player in franchise history to post such a season. If the season were to end today, Blackmon’s extra-base hit line (20-13-24) has only been replicated by 34 diff erent players in MLB history with Rollins’ 2007 season being the most recent. It is the fi rst stat line of its kind in Rockies franchise history. Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig is the only player in history to post such a line in four seasons (1927-28, 30-31).

    Central Michigan University From the SelectedWorks of Adam Epstein 2011 Teaching Torts with Sports Adam Epstein, Central Michigan University Available at: http://works.bepress.com/adam_epstein/4/ Journal of Legal Studies Education Volume 28, Issue 1, 117–142, Winter/Spring 2011 Teaching Torts with Sports Adam Epsteinn I. INTRODUCTION One of the most enjoyable and interesting subjects for students taking a business law or legal environment course is the study of torts. Whether a course only allows this discussion for a week or longer, seasoned professors realize that they can capture the attention of students by covering torts topics such as slip-and-fall litigation, defective products that cause injuries, and fisticuffs among neighbors. The purpose of this article is to offer a roadmap for engaging students through sports-related tort issues and litigation. This article encourages the use of sports torts because they are of particular interest to many students and also because they facilitate an active learning environment.1 The article discusses tort issues that can be examined using sports cases and cites numerous examples. Sports torts present a natural opportunity to use video clips in the class- room. Videos are an invaluable technological tool to demonstrate various torts to the students, and sportsvideosareubiquitous.2 Usually, students are quite eager to watch videos with action. Therefore, throughout the entire semester, videos showing late hits, athletes kicking cameramen, fighting among fans, misbehavior by athletes or mascots, and attacks on sports reporters are effec- tive and energizing both in and out of the classroom environment.3 The nProfessor, Department of Finance and Law, Central Michigan University.
