Caitlin Clark didn't get to explore Boston much, but it's safe to say she likes the Celtics' style
'I think, for myself, the Celtics [are] one of the premier organizations of the NBA. You always grow up knowing what the Celtics are about, and obviously, having won a championship two years ago now, it's kind of cool to just be in this building and … surround yourself with the greatness that has played in this arena.'

Clark shouted out a few players — Jayson Tatum, Derrick White, and Jaylen Brown, the latter of whom was among the sold-out crowd of 19,156.

'They shoot a lot of threes, which, maybe people make an argument against, but for myself, I think that's fun,' she said. (Sounds like Joe Mazzulla would be a Clark fan.)
'I enjoy that, I think it's a great style of basketball. So, I think anytime you come into an arena and there's just so much history hanging from the rafters, you certainly look up and soak it in.'
Clark and the Fever flew into Boston after their win Sunday over the Wings in Dallas, so she didn't have much time to explore the city before preparing for Indiana's eventual 85-77 win over Connecticut. She and teammate Lexi Hull ate at Earl's Kitchen + Bar near their hotel in the Back Bay, but Clark 'didn't really get to do a ton.'

Clark checked the Red Sox schedule to see if they were in town and she struck out. MLB is on its All-Star break.

'I would have loved to go to a Red Sox game and seen Fenway. I guess I could have gone to Fenway and looked at it with no people in it, but I didn't do that,' she joked.
She said she'd like to come back and explore Boston's history.
'I honestly was on TikTok, [searching] the best things to do in Boston, just so I can see even though I'm not going to do them. And I think that's what's fun about going to these new places in these new cities, you get to experience the culture and the people that are here too.'

WNBA All-Stars dazzle fans with stunning fashion on the Orange Carpet
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The WNBA All-Stars tipped off the weekend by showing off their best fashion fits Thursday, turning the orange carpet into their own catwalk. They walked across a stage at the Indianapolis convention center with hundreds of adoring fans cheering them. It was a fun new wrinkle to the WNBA All-Star weekend, showing off for the fans on stage. 'This was definitely a lot of fun,' said Los Angeles Sparks guard Kelsey Plum, who wore a shiny long-sleeved red dress and heels. Indiana Fever star Aliyah Boston, who wore a long, dark gown and heels, agreed. 'I think it just kind of gets the fans a little bit more excited about seeing all the outfits,' she said. WNBA players have been amping up their clothes game over the past few seasons, garnering attention off the court for their pregame fashion choices. Tunnel Fits — as the players arrival to the arena is called — is not new to the league, but it has risen to a whole new level of fashion. Angel Reese of the Chicago Sky wowed the crowd in a leopard print coat and stylish sunglasses. 'I missed this last year because of flight issues, but was so glad to be here this year for it,' Reese said. Reigning league MVP A'ja Wilson, of the Las Vegas Aces, wore a Di Petsa-designed maroon sleeveless gown that exposed her left leg from the hip and sported stunning gold Saint Laurent earrings. The New York Liberty's Natasha Cloud, who will compete in the skills competition on Friday night, admitted she was a little intimidated walking across the stage. 'It took me out of my comfort zone,' she said, sticking with pants and shirt. Napheesa Collier of the Minnesota Lynx loved the chance to walk across the stage, but as a mom of a young daughter, wished she knew that there was going to be kids in the audience, as she might have chosen a different, less revealing outfit, she said. ___

Williams: 4 random thoughts on Reds, Bengals stadium, Hilton Head, Camden Yards
Back from a few weeks – and more than 3,100 miles logged – on the road. Lots of thinking time driving to Baltimore, New York and Boston a few weeks ago and then to Hilton Head and back last week. Here are four summertime thoughts I had while everyone else in the car snoozed: 1. The Cincinnati Reds are boring Not necessarily boring in how they play the game. I'm a pitching-and-fielding guy, and they're decent at both. If your Reds fandom started in the 1980s, then you know how big of a deal it is that the Reds finally have pitching. Nonetheless, they're treading water. They're just another team that the logjammed wildcard standings suggest has a shot. Not good. Not bad. Stuck around .500 (like last year at the All-Star break) and no one knows what's next other than the tease of a short winning streak followed by the madness of a short losing streak. Wake me when the Reds fall out of love with some of their prospects and make a big splash for a run producer at the deadline. 2. Hilton Head is boring – and that's why I love it My family has been vacationing on the Southernmost Point of Ohio since 2010, and we've never had a bad experience. Last week was no exception. I love that place so much, the HHI Chamber of Commerce needs to put me on payroll. A buddy recently asked why I love it so much. Simple answer. No drunk college bros. No trashy beachwear shops on every corner. The beach is never overcrowded (except for the first big, we're-free-to-live-again weekend post-pandemic). And I know where everything is located (which is a big deal in a place that doesn't have street lights or big glaring road signs telling you where Kroger, Starbucks, Walmart and every store is located). Perfect. Only downside is everyone else from Ohio vacations there, and I'm tired of being asked if I'm a Buckeyes fan. 3. It's frustrating that there's not more outrage about the Bengals' Paycor Stadium deal It's such a Cincinnati mentality to say: Well, it's better than the last deal. Play nice and settle instead of fight. Take the moral victory and be fine with it. Just be happy to have an NFL team rather than hold the Bengals accountable for how they do business. So predictable. So Cincinnati. It doesn't behoove someone who writes opinion for a living to say this too often, but I told you so. I wrote last summer the commissioners 'will cave and pay way more for the stadium upgrades than local government should.' Some of us in the media like to call the county-Bengals stadium saga 'the gift that keeps on giving.' And whoa buddy, that's going to be manna from media heaven when the Bengals and county officially tell us the team wants (not needs) a new stadium. In the seventh year of this 10-year deal, the Bengals and county are going to assess whether Paycor Stadium is still functional. By putting it in the contract, it means the assessment is essentially already done. Taxpayers are going to pump $350 million more into the stadium in the coming years only to be told in 2032 – right about the time the original stadium debt is paid off – sorry, time for a new stadium. 4. Camden Yards is a baseball bucket-list visit If you could only visit one baseball stadium, my recommendation has long been Dodger Stadium. The energy in that place for a night game is unlike anywhere else in baseball. And MLB's third-oldest stadium still feels retro-new. It's so clean, you could eat a Dodger Dog off the concourse floor. If you could pick a No. 2, it should be Baltimore's Camden Yards. I covered a series there 20 years ago, but didn't walk around. This was the first stop on a three-stadium tour I did with my two sons and a close friend and his son. We're trying to visit as many ballparks as possible before the kids are grown up. History is so important to baseball, and the Orioles celebrate it right. The statues of their great players are inside the stadium gates. There's a marker for every home-run ball hit in the air onto Eutaw Street, between the right-field stands and the iconic warehouse. This offseason, they'll place a permanent baseball-sized plague in the concrete to commemorate Reds outfielder Jake Fraley's mammoth home run in April. For now, it's marked with black paint, and we got to see it. The outfield standing areas are fantastic. Great sightlines and the area in center field allows fans to practically stand in the visiting bullpen. The ballpark workers are incredibly nice and helpful. There's a gentleman who sits on a stool at a podium in front of the warehouse who'll give you the history of the Eutaw Street home-run balls and the stadium, which remains the best of the wave of retro ballparks that began popping up in the 1990s. He also gives gifts to kids who are visiting for the first time – a button badge with the game date, postcards and a City Connect compression arm sleeve (some of the 'drip' the kids wear nowadays). Meanwhile at Yankee Stadium, they tell kids to scan a QR code to download a digital certificate to mark their first time to a game there. That stadium is corporate and sterile. Want that $25 bucket of chicken strips and fries at the concession stand? You can only buy it if you have a MasterCard, something you don't learn until after you've waited in line for 20 minutes to order it.

Here's how the Reds' pitching rotation will look coming out of the MLB All-Star break
The Cincinnati Reds' rotation is set coming out of the All-Star break, and the pitchers involved received their marching orders prior to the break. On July 13, Reds manager Terry Francona and pitching coach Derek Johnson confirmed the pitchers' order to begin the second half of 2025: Reds trade deadline Wittenmyer & Williams: Sound the alarm. Here's how to wake up the sleepy Cincinnati Reds Nick Lodolo (6-6, 3.38 ERA) − Friday, July 18: Reds vs. New York Mets, Citi Field. 7:10 p.m. Nick Martinez (7-9, 4.78 ERA) − Saturday, July 19: Reds vs. New York Mets, Citi Field. 4:10 p.m. Andrew Abbott (8-1, 2.07 ERA) − Sunday, July 20: Reds vs. New York Mets, Citi Field. 1:40 p.m. Brady Singer (7-7, 4.32 ERA) − Monday, July 21: Reds vs. Washington Nationals, Nationals Park. 6:45 p.m. Chase Burns (0-1, 6.19 ERA) − Tuesday, July 22: Reds vs. Washington Nationals, Nationals Park. 6:45 p.m. The Reds begin the second half of the season with a six-game road trip against the New York Mets (55-42) and Washington Nationals (38-58). Reds walkoff Rockies Will Benson Reds stun Rockies with much-needed ninth inning comeback win Francona had previously suggested Burns would be placed toward the back end of the rotation, and that's where he landed. The organization will watch closely as the rookie pitcher with four big league starts to his name continues to rack up innings following his 13 minor league starts this spring. "We're aware. I don't know that you can map it (the innings) out," Francona said. "You can try to use logic and common sense. I think, too, you watch with your eyes. Very important. Sometimes a number can be a little bit of a cop out, so just pay attention." As for any starting pitching depth becoming available, Opening Day starter Hunter Greene was discussed. Greene returned to the Reds' Player Development Complex in Goodyear, Arizona. "He will stay in Arizona until he's ready to pitch," Francona said, "and he may even pitch once there. We'll see kind of, in coordination with him, how he feels and what everybody thinks is kind of in his best interest."
