Saturday’s only coaching experience  came at a Georgia high school. He’s served as a team consultant and an ESPN  commentator most recently.

MLB – Fans celebrate Houston Astros’ World Series win  with parade

  An estimated more than 1 million fans celebrated the  Houston Astros’ World Series win with a downtown parade. The parade Monday  afternoon took place without any serious incidents, except for the arrest of a  33-year-old man. He was accused by Houston police of throwing a beer can at  U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, who was riding in the back of a truck that was part of the  parade. The Astros clinched their second World Series title in six seasons  Saturday, beating the Philadelphia Phillies 4-1 in Game 6. Officials say the  number of people at the parade was expected to surpass the 1 million  individuals who attended the parade held after the Astros won their first World  Series in 2017.

He was the  starting shortstop for the American League in the All-Star Game in July.  Harrison is owed a $1.5 million buyout and becomes a free agent.

FIFA  – World Cup ’22 – Qatar’s promise of ‘carbon-neutral’ World Cup raises doubts

  Qatar  has been on a ferocious construction spree that has few recent parallels in the  long run-up to hosting the 2022 men’s World Cup soccer tournament. It built  seven of its eight stadiums, a new metro system, highways, high-rises and  Lusail, a futuristic city that ten years ago was mostly dust and sand. Qatar  promised something else to distinguish this World Cup from others in the past:  It would be ‘carbon-neutral,’ meaning it would have no impact on the climate.  But outside experts say Qatar and FIFA’s plan rests on convenient accounting  and projects that won’t counteract the event’s carbon footprint.

Swimming  – Ledecky posts world record in 800 free at World Cup meet

The 25-year-old Ledecky won by nearly  10 seconds over silver medalist Summer McIntosh, a 16-year-old Canadian.
