MLB Pennant Race 2024: Do You Believe in Magic?
While many were enjoying the first of 18 NFL Sundays in the regular season, Major League Baseball's home stretch marched on. The first week of September came to a close, and after Sunday's action, the 2024 season has just three weeks--21 days remaining. Nothing really changed; of course, none of MLB's 12 postseason berths were taken, and only two eliminations commenced. Per usual in September's opening week, the eliminations were expected: the Colorado Rockies and the Miami Marlins were both eliminated on September 3. Both teams are in their 32nd seasons, and in that time, the Rockies only reached the postseason five times--including their pennant win in 2007. The Marlins have only four postseasons in their history, with the first two resulting in championships, and they reached the postseason last year.

Kirk Cousins Finds Kyle Pitts for First Falcons TD, Overcomes Early Turnovers
Kirk Cousins’ first game with the Atlanta Falcons didn’t start the way many had hoped, but the veteran quarterback showed resilience and poise in his debut. After a shaky start that included an interception and a few errant passes, Cousins found his footing, leading the Falcons to a 10-6 lead at halftime against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The highlight of the first half came on a beautifully executed 12-yard touchdown pass to tight end Kyle Pitts, a connection that demonstrated the growing chemistry between the two players.

A Look at the 1986 New York Mets
Say what you want to about the New York Mets (and many baseball fans do), but one thing is for sure, when they show out, they show out in grand fashion. In 1969, the team's eighth season in play, the team was down big in the newly formed National League East, but they came back, finished first, and won the whole thing. Four years later, they were down big again, but they rallied their way to another pennant; that was their famous "Ya Gotta Believe!" season. Now, it had been tough for the Mets after that, but 1986 saw everything click for the franchise.

A Look at the 1985 Kansas City Royals
Kansas City. The largest city in the Show Me State. A population of just over half of a million people, almost double that of St. Louis. Yet when it comes to sports, KC has often been the little brother to St. Louis. In the NFL, Kansas City did win the battle of Missouri, but only because St. Louis lost two franchises while the Chiefs went on to become a dynasty. St. Louis did have the Hawks in the NBA before the team moved to Atlanta, and the NHL's Blues serve as the state's lone team, and won a Stanley Cup in 2019.
