“First of all, I want to thank God for giving a second opportunity in my life to be able to be here with all of you,” Ortiz said after throwing a pitch to former teammate Jason Varitek. “I want to thank the Red Sox, my real family. They have always been there for me, supporting me. Thank you very much, Red Sox family.” Members of the Red Sox stood in front of their dugout while Ortiz was on the field, while the Yankees stood on the top step of their dugout and applauded....

According to December 21 release from US-Bookies, Perdue has a 58.8 percent chance of winning the election, followed by incumbent Governor Brian Kemp, who was given 40 percent odds. Stacey Abrams, the only Democrat who has officially declared a run for the office, is in third in US-Bookies’ list with 25 percent odds to win the election. “Stacey Abrams seems to have a lot of support from Democrats, as this will be her second time running for governor of the state,” a US-Bookies spokesperson said in a statement....

The law allows for specific elected officials, including the governor, to create “leadership committees,” allowing them to raise an unlimited amount of money for campaign funds, bypassing the state’s limits. Georgia law does not allow candidates running for state offices to accept more than $7,600 from one donor in a primary or general election and no more than $4,500 in a runoff election. “When he thought no one was watching, Kemp gave himself power to raise unlimited campaign funds, while challengers have to play by different rules,” Perdue tweeted on Friday....

After giving up an RBI single to Alex Gordon and thus allowing a career-worst 13 hits, the Tigers’ ace stepped on a discarded bat while attempting to back up a throw to the plate and injured his hamstring. He still expects to make his next start, though, and the team diagnosed it as a mild strain.

Baseball has often played host to some truly bizarre injuries — just this season, a player lost teeth due to a an unfortunate exercise band incident — and a new player has etched his name into some painful and embarrassing baseball history. David Robertson is not on the Phillies NLDS roster after hurting himself in the saddest way during a truly euphoric moment in the NL wild card series: The reliever injured his calf jumping to celebrate Bryce Harper’s Game 2 home run....

Schoen is listed in documents as being signed on to represent Bannon as the Trump ally is set to surrender to a court after criminal charges were filed against him last week. Reuters reporter Jan Wolfe and Ryan Barber, justice reporter for Insider, tweeted out the court listing with Schoen’s signature. The Department of Justice (DoJ) announced on November 12 that a federal grand jury indicted Bannon on two counts of contempt of Congress after he failed to comply with a subpoena issued to him by the House Select Committee investigating the January 6 attack of the Capitol....

Is Zlatan the greatest 30-something striker of all time? Silva joined City from Valencia in 2010 and has become a key figure at the Etihad Stadium, with two Premier League titles, a pair of EFL Cups and an FA Cup triumph among his accomplishments. The 31-year-old made his 300th appearance for the club in the 3-1 win over Hull City on Saturday and Zabaleta emphasised his importance. “I could keep talking about David all day because I love him so much....

Coming off a season in which the Big 3 of Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick and Martin Truex Jr. seemingly won every race (and yet none came away with the championship as Joey Logano earned his first Cup Series title), this season is once again shaping up to be a good one as familiar faces (including Truex) take over new rides.

DAZNはブンデスリーガの放映権を取得している。なお、DFBポカールやブンデスリーガ2部も放送されている。 ブンデスリーガとは？ ブンデスリーガは1963年に発足された。近年ではヨーロッパの四大リーグの一つとして知られている。四大リーグとはヨーロッパで人気・実力共に抜きん出ている4つのリーグのことだ。スペインのリーガ・エスパニョーラ、ドイツのブンデスリーガ、イングランドのプレミアリーグそして、イタリアのセリエAである。 過去にはリーガ・エスパニョーラ、プレミアリーグ、セリエAが三大リーグと呼ばれ、ブンデスリーガは第4の存在だったが、近年はセリエAを追い越し、トップへ迫る勢いを見せている。 全18チームで争われ、バイエルンやドルトムントといった強豪クラブが名を連ねる。多くの日本人選手が活躍するリーグとしてもおなじみで、香川真司や長谷部誠がマイスターシャーレを掲げたことでも知られている。 リーグの特徴としては、体格のガッチリとした選手が多いため、フィジカルが問われる。もっとも、大柄な選手の対処に慣れれば、技術のある日本人選手にとって戦いやすいリーグであるとも言える。 ブンデスリーガの注目選手 スター軍団、バイエルンには世界的に有名なプレーヤーが何人も在籍している。リーグ得点王のロベルト・レバンドフスキ、スピードとテクニックを兼ね揃えて両サイドをえぐるアルイェン・ロッベンとフランク・リベリー、ディフェンスラインにはフィジカルと知性を併せ持つマッツ・フンメルスがいて、ゴールマウスには世界最高の守護神として名高いマヌエル・ノイアーが控えている。 ドルトムントにも注目プレーヤーは多い。ピエール・エメリク・オーバメヤンはレバンドフスキに並ぶスターストライカーの一人で、マルコ・ロイスは高度なテクニックに加えて甘いルックスから女性にも人気がある。 ブンデスリーガの日本人選手 すでに書いたとおり、ブンデスリーガで活躍している日本人選手は多い。まず注目したいのは2010/11シーズン、2011/12シーズンにドルトムントのリーグ連覇に貢献した兵庫県出身の香川真司だ。 次に注目したいのはシャルケ所属の内田篤人。静岡県出身で、長くシャルケに所属している。故障の影響でなかなかピッチに立つ機会は少ないが、復活に向けて調整を続けている。再び輝きを放つ日が待たれるところだ。 2008年からブンデスリーガでプレーするベテラン長谷部誠は静岡県出身でフランクフルト在籍、ベテランらしく落ち着いたプレーが見どころだ。 鹿児島県出身の大迫勇也はケルン所属。2016−17シーズンはレギュラーとして活躍し、チームの躍進に大きく貢献した。東京都出身の武藤嘉紀はマインツ所属。持ち前のスピードを活かした突破やディフェンスライン裏への抜け出しが魅力だ。 酒井高徳はハンブルガーSVの所属、新潟県出身で、両サイドでプレーできる器用さを持つ。2016−17シーズンの途中から主将に抜擢され、チームをけん引する存在として活躍した。 埼玉県出身の原口元気はヘルタ・ベルリンで奮闘中。宇佐美貴史は2011年にバイエルンへ入団したが、2013年にガンバ大阪へ復帰。しかし、再び海外でプレーすることを望み、ブンデスリーガのアウクスブルクへ加入した。 DAZNのブンデスリーガ番組表 DAZNでブンデスリーガの試合を視聴するには？ DAZNを利用してブンデスリーガを視聴するには、最初にDAZNへの登録が必要となってくる。そのためには、日本国内で発行されたクレジットカードを準備する必要がある。既にクレジットカードをお持ちの場合は、DAZN公式サイトの「1ヶ月間の無料体験を始める」をクリックして登録を進めよう。 DAZNへの登録が完了すれば、ブンデスリーガの試合をすぐに楽しむことが出来る。サッカーカテゴリーへ進み、ブンデスリーガを選択してブンデスリーガの試合を視聴しよう。なお、視聴環境しては、「標準画質（720p）で楽しむなら5.0Mbps以上の回線速度、HD画質（1080p）で楽しみたいなら9.0Mbps以上の回線速度」が必要とDAZN公式には記されている。 自身のインターネット環境が該当するかどうかは事前に確認しておこう。 DAZNにはブンデスリーガ以外の試合も多数放送 ブンデスリーガに限らず、JリーグやセリエA、リーガ・エスパニョーラ、リーグ・アンも放送するDAZN。サッカー以外にも目を向ければ野球、テニス、バスケ、F1など、幅広いスポーツ配信を行っている。 だが、見たいと思うコンテンツがあっても、今後も見続けるのか、月額1750円を払う価値があるか不安な方もいるだろう。そういう方は、1ヶ月の無料トライアル期間を利用して、一度DAZNでスポーツを視聴してみて、続けられそうか試してみるのが良いだろう。 ▶ブンデスリーガのライブを観るならDAZNで！1ヶ月間無料のトライアルを今すぐ始めよう 【関連記事】 ●DAZN(ダゾーン)を使うなら必ず知っておきたい9つのポイント ●DAZN（ダゾーン）に登録・視聴する方法とは？加入・契約の仕方をまとめてみた ●「見逃し配信はいつまで？」DAZNに関する4つの疑問にCEOらが回答 ●DAZNの月額料金は？Jリーグやラ・リーガを放送、お得に見る方法も？ ●DAZNの番組表は？サッカーの放送予定やスケジュールを紹介

The problem is Hollywood. This winter sees the opening of “Blood Diamond,” starring Leonardo DiCaprio as a smuggler attempting to smuggle a rare pink stone out of war-torn Sierra Leone. And like other industry leaders, Oppenheimer fears the film will taint the industry’s reputation, renewing controversy over the use of so-called “conflict diamonds” to fund some of Africa’s bloodiest civil wars. What the trade fears most is the impression that the film may leave: that consumers can no longer buy diamonds with an easy conscience....

Having entered the international break pointless and without a goal, the Eagles were hoping for a reversal in fortune when they returned to top-flight action at Burnley. It was, however, to be a case of the same old story for the capital club as they suffered a 1-0 defeat at Turf Moor. Saints 7/5 to win at Selhurst Park Palace are now the first team in the Premier League era to open a season without collecting a point or troubling their scorers, with 93 years having passed since that last happened in the top tier....

The chance to visit or volunteer at wildlife sanctuaries in Africa so they can pet, bottle feed or walk with orphaned lion cubs is a tempting one for most animal lovers. But sadly, many well-intentioned visitors and volunteers are under the illusion that they are contributing to real conservation efforts, that they are hand-rearing cubs that will eventually be released into the wild. But animal lovers should beware. According to the South Africa-based Blood Lions organization, in South Africa the vast majority of ostensibly orphaned baby lions in facilities posing as sanctuaries are actually torn from their mothers at birth and are being bred for the canned hunting industry, a perfectly legal and highly lucrative industry in South Africa....

These examples would almost be funny were they not a microcosm of all the bad edicts that emanated from Washington. Those decisions were made by a small cadre—Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Condoleeza Rice and the president, all of whom declined to be interviewed for the film—that had no military experience, ignored all the advance planning by the State Department, failed to listen to those on the ground in Iraq and valued loyalty to their ideology above all else....

While there is debate over why the numbers seem to be rising, there’s also concern that colleges aren’t dealing with the problem adequately. In January 2004 the Crimson, Harvard’s student newspaper, published a widely discussed five-part series which concluded that “an overwhelming majority” of Harvard undergraduates experience mental-health problems, and that the university’s shortcomings in helping them were creating “a pervasive mental-health crisis” on the campus. Given that kind of assessment, it’s inevitable that mental-health issues are starting to filter into admissions conversations....
