Shohei Ohtani continues to prove that he’s rewriting the history books, and this time his latest milestone has nothing to do with his pitching. The Los Angeles Dodgers superstar has done something that hasn’t been accomplished in nearly a century, becoming the first player since 1932 to record at least 120 runs, 90 walks, and 45 home runs before the calendar flips to September. The only other name in that category? Hall of Famer Jimmie Foxx. Foxx was one of the most feared sluggers of his era, standing just behind Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig in the pantheon of hitters.…

The bats were alive again at Citi Field, but the New York Mets couldn’t complete another rally, falling 11-8 to the Miami Marlins in the second game of the series Saturday night.

Erykah Badu took her scent and turned it into a business move that smells like cash and her crotch. During a sit-down on Drink Champs, the soul icon said she created her incense line based on what guys say her lady parts smell like. “Most guys say that my v##### smells like strawberries and gunpowder. So I tried to duplicate that,” she said. “That’s what they say. So I tried to duplicate the smell of strawberries and gunpowder and I hope that I’m doing that.” The incense, cheekily named Badu P#### (sometimes styled Badu’s Pu$$y), was first released on February…
The worlds of hip hop and high-stakes gambling are closely related, and surprisingly, they share the same philosophy of taking risks, ambition, and seeking destiny. Nothing is certain in either arena; it is a high-stakes game where the combination of raw ability, calculated tactics, and a stroke of pure luck determines the outcome.
