The starters for the 2024 All-Star Game presented by Mastercard have been unveiled. The Midsummer Classic on July 16 (8 p.m. ET on FOX) is in Arlington, Texas at Globe Life Field.

The results of the fan vote to determine this year’s All-Star starters were announced on ESPN. The players elected alongside Yankees slugger Aaron Judge and Phillies star Bryce Harper — who had already earned automatic bids as each league’s leading vote-getter in Phase 1 of voting — include both the game’s biggest superstars, like Shohei Ohtani, and electric first-time All-Stars like Gunnar Henderson.

Ten different teams are represented in this year’s All-Star starting lineups, with the Phillies leading the way with three representatives, the Yankees, Orioles, Astros, Guardians, Brewers and Padres sending two each, and the Blue Jays, Dodgers and D-backs sending one. There are eight players who were elected starters by the fans for the first time.

NEW YORK — Hoops Cabaret in New York City (48 West 33rd Street), featuring dozens of sexy Hoops exotic dancers, and hailed as “the sexiest sports bar,” will show the DAZN matchup of IBF welterweight champion Jason Ennis against David Avanesyan on Saturday, July 13.

Ennis (31-0) will defend his title vs. Avanesyan (30-4-1). Ennis has been touted as one of the finest prospects in the sport and a future pound-for-pound star.

Avanesyan, known for his pressure style in the ring, should pose somewhat of a threat, but his best days are also behind him. The Russian was badly knocked out by Terence Crawford when he fought for a welterweight title before.

At Hoops Cabaret, fans can view the exciting bouts on the club’s giant Mega-Tron Video Wall and numerous HD TVs and flat screens, giving every seat a clear view of all the action.

Hoops girl Valerie said, “Great boxing and the after-party here with so many sexy dancers is going to be off the hook. Come make it rain. Don’t miss it!” 

Hoops Cabaret combines the  fun of a sports bar with the excitement of a gentlemen’s club. Sports and beautiful girls, it’s a win, win. And be sure to check out the club’s VIP Man Cave.

Yankees star Juan Soto has been elected to the All-Star Game, where he will be one of the starting outfielders for the American League alongside Aaron Judge.

The Yankees’ Judge was the first player to be named a starter for the AL, on the strength of him leading the league in fan voting at the conclusion of Phase 1. Soto and Cleveland Guardian Steven Kwan were elected following Phase 2 of fan voting.

Soto is having a monster season for New York after being acquired from the San Diego Padres during the off-season. He is hitting .302/.436/.564 with 20 homers, 61 RBI, and 69 runs scored in 84 games.

This is the fourth All-Star Game nod of Soto’s seven-year MLB career.

The New York Knicks are re-signing OG Anunoby to a five-year, $212.5 million contract that will make him the highest-paid player in franchise history.

Anunoby, 26, carried heavy leverage into the negotiations and clearly flexed it before agreeing to the biggest contract in franchise history. 

The total sum and average salaries destroyed the previous Knicks record, set by Carmelo Anthony and Julius Randle. 

Concern about Anunoby’s extensive injury history are real. He hasn’t reached 70 games since his rookie campaign in 2017-18.

He didn’t exceed 50 games in three of the last four seasons, missing 27 with the Knicks last season because of an elbow injury that required surgery. 

Anunoby then strained his hamstring in the playoffs and sat most of the second round, which ended with the Knicks falling in seven games to the Pacers. 

Tyrone Taylor, Pete Alonso and Jeff McNeil each homered Friday night for the red-hot New York Mets, who beat the Houston Astros 7-2 in the opener of a three-game series.

Francisco Alvarez hit a first-inning sacrifice fly and Francisco Lindor added an eighth-inning RBI double for the Mets, who improved to 16-6 this month — the best record in the majors — and moved over .500 at 40-39.

Jose Quintana muddled his way through four innings throwing 93 pitches with only 54 strikes. He was touched for a Jose Altuve HR in the first, a run the Mets got back with a Francisco Alvarez sacrifice fly in the bottom half of the inning. Astros got a single run in the third to take the lead but for them that was it. Four Met relievers shut out the Astros the rest of the way.

A 7-2 win puts the a Mets a game over .500 for the first time in nearly two months and gives them a legitimate chance to finish over .500 when the month is done.

The Jacksonville Jaguars and quarterback Trevor Lawrence have reached an agreement on a five-year, $275 million contract extension, which includes $200 million guaranteed and a $142 million signing bonus.

Lawrence’s reported extension matches Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow‘s 2023 extension as the highest-paid deal in NFL history with an average salary of $55 million.

Lawrence, 24, was selected by the Jaguars at No. 1 overall in the 2021 NFL Draft and has led Jacksonville to a 20-30 record in three seasons which included the franchise’s first playoff berth and AFC South Division title in five seasons in 2022.

Lawrence enters his fourth NFL season with 11,770 yards, 58 touchdowns and 39 interceptions on 1,116 of 1,750 passing, as well as 964 yards and 11 touchdowns on 205 rushing attempts. The Knoxville native entered the NFL after a decorated collegiate career at Clemson.

The Yankees pitching depth took a hit as right-handers Ian Hamilton and Cody Poteet went on the Injured List.

Hamilton won’t throw for 3-4 weeks after suffering a lat strain in his last appearance. And Poteet went down with a right triceps strain and will be shut down for 1-2 weeks.

To take the spots on the roster, the Yankees recalled lefty Clayton Andrews from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and signed left-hander Anthony Misiewicz to a major league contract and selected him to the active roster.

They still need to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for Misiewicz.

Hamilton has been a key piece to the bullpen each of the last two years and Poteet filled in well in the rotation after Clarke Schmidt hit the IL.

New York City — The exotic dancers who perform at Rick’s Cabaret New York, the renowned adult club known for its abundance of beautiful girls, VIP treatment, and warm hospitality, congratulate the Florida Panthers on winning the Stanley Cup, hockey’s greatest award.

The Chicago Cubs crushed the New York Mets 8-1.

The Mets had a rough first inning Saturday thanks to Tylor Megill’s worst frame of the season, and the day didn’t get any better in the second.

Starling Marte grounded out in that inning and when the Mets returned to play defense, the 35-year-old outfielder wasn’t among the nine players. 

Marte exited with right knee soreness, according to the Mets, putting a potential crimp in a lineup that has executed at a high level for the last week.

For right-hander Megill, it was his worst outing of the season, allowing six earned runs on five hits and three walks with six strikeouts over three innings.

Overall, it was an afternoon worth forgetting for the Mets, who lost 8-1 to the Cubs at Wrigley Field.
