The Fighting Irish football team as a whole prides itself on giving back to the community in South Bend throughout the year.
"It feels great," Love said. "I love interacting with kids and just people in general. So, whenever I get an opportunity to do something like this, I'm all for it. I'm ready to go.
"It means a lot to be able to come out and just be here with the kids. I'm not necessarily teaching them how to do things because there's so many kids here, but I'm around talking with them and just introducing myself. Just trying to be cool with them. But yeah, it means a lot."
The Irish kick off the new season at Miami on August 31.

Phoenix Suns Legend Earns Strong All-Time Ranking Despite 'Late Bloomer' Prime
Phoenix Suns Legend Earns Strong All-Time Ranking Despite 'Late Bloomer' Prime originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Phoenix Suns have had many legends play for their franchise and they are also watching one of their franchise's best players continue to play for them now in Devin Booker, who is the franchise's all-time leading scorer. Advertisement While Booker still has many years left in his career, likely to all come in Phoenix due to him wanting to play his entire career with one franchise, other legends have also worn the orange and purple. Steve Nash addresses the crowd before the NBA All-Star Game.© Bob Donnan-Imagn Images One of those players was Steve Nash who dominated the 2000s with the Suns and he was recognized as one of the NBA's top 100 players on Bleacher Report's list. Bleacher Report ranked Nash No. 37 on their all-time list and mentioned that he could have been higher on it if he did not enter his prime later in his career. 'After leading some of the top era-adjusted offenses of all time with the Dallas Mavericks in 2002 and 2003, Nash landed in Phoenix and enjoyed one of the great late-bloomer primes in league history,' Bleacher Report's NBA staff wrote. 'He captained the 'Seven Seconds or Less' Phoenix Suns to elite scoring marks, winning back-to-back MVPs in his age-30 and age-31 campaigns. Nash's four 50/40/90 seasons are the most in NBA history. Not bad for a guy who also ranks fifth in total assists.' Advertisement Of course, Nash had a successful six seasons with the Dallas Mavericks but after returning to the Suns in 2004, he became one of the league's best players during his time. In Phoenix, Nash won back-to-back MVP awards, though many will debate if he deserved them, and he also led the way for Mike D'Antoni's offense.

Rebilas-Imagn Images During his career, Nash was a two-time MVP, eight-time All-Star and seven-time All-NBA selection. There is no doubt that Nash is one of the greatest point guards in league history thanks to his assist numbers and shooting efficiency but if he had entered his prime earlier in his career, he may be much higher on Bleacher Report's list.

MLB Home Run Derby 2025: Cal Raleigh's Derby performance puts the finishing touches on his ascent to MLB stardom
ATLANTA — When Stephanie Raleigh entered her hotel room on Monday morning, she was surprised to find a fresh, navy blue uniform sprawled on the bed. As she approached the jersey, she realized that a note had been scrawled in black pen inside the uniform's crisp, white lettering. 'Mom, I love you so much! Thank you for all of the sacrifice!' — Cal Raleigh, 29 Advertisement Hours later, Stephanie was standing on the infield grass at Truist Park as her son, Major League Baseball's home run leader and the unlikely face of this All-Star Weekend, celebrated an emphatic victory in the 2025 Home Run Derby. The evening was a true family affair. Cal's father, Todd, a retired college coach who had a four-year stint as the head man at the University of Tennessee, played the role of Derby thrower. On the other end of the battery, Cal's behemoth of a 15-year-old brother, Todd Jr., caught all of Cal's rounds on Monday. Multiple other Raleighs donned jerseys, just like Stephanie's, replete with personalized messages. 'He had 'em laying on the bed for us at the hotel room when we got there,' she told Yahoo Sports amidst the event's revelrous aftermath. 'Yeah, we got a little misty-eyed.' Raleigh's rousing Derby performance served as a coronation of sorts, a capstone to the Mariners catcher's improbable rise from third-round draft pick to national baseball stardom. In cranking 38 first-half home runs, Raleigh undoubtedly solidified himself as the sport's best backstop, a switch-hitting dynamo delivering outrageous offensive production for the position. In three seasons, he has evolved from an unspectacular every-day catcher to a legitimate MVP candidate. Advertisement But while Raleigh has been a popular presence in the Pacific Northwest for a while — that walk-off homer to end Seattle's playoff drought made him a Mariners icon — his magnificent 2025 season has elevated him into a new stratosphere. And his evening Monday on the grand stage was the perfect encapsulation of what makes the Mariners' backstop special: steadiness, consistency, exhilarating raw power from both sides of the dish. Raleigh's performance only confirmed his new reality: He is simply one of the most recognizable characters in the sport. And yes, the nickname certainly helps. In fact, Raleigh's evening began with a genuinely flooring introduction from professional bloviator Pat McAfee. Advertisement "WITH THE FATTEST ASS IN ALL OF PROFESSIONAL SPORTS ...' the ESPN personality hollered to the sellout crowd. 'BIG DUMPER CAL RALEIGH.' With that, Raleigh was off to the races. He bopped 17 long balls in the first round, advancing on a bizarre tiebreaker with Athletics DH Brent Rooker, who also slammed 17. With the top four moving on and Raleigh and Rooker tied for fourth, the edge went to Raleigh after it was determined that his longest blast was about an inch farther than Rooker's: 470.61 feet vs. 470.53 feet. That led to some understandable frustration from Rooker but didn't take anything away from Raleigh's performance. In the semis, Raleigh was matched up against Pirates outfielder Oneil Cruz, who earlier had provided the most jaw-dropping swing of the night. During his first round, Cruz, the only participant who is not an All-Star, launched one a whopping, borderline inconceivable 513 feet. That tank ranks as the single farther home run ever tracked excluding the thin-air launch pad that is Coors Field. It was a truly flabbergasting thing to witness. From an athletic perspective, Cruz's entire performance was the most impressive part of the evening. He consistently launched balls well over the Chop House high in right field, sending souvenirs raining down on the area beyond the stadium. Eventually, though, he ran out of gas, falling to Raleigh in the semis after the man with the sturdy caboose ripped 19 homers to Cruz's 13. Advertisement That set up a showdown between Raleigh and Tampa Bay third baseman Junior Caminero, a swagged-out, 22-year-old Dominican with a supremely stylish, dangly earring. Caminero, whose bat speed ranks second in the league behind only Cruz, reached the finals after a swift dispatching of Twins outfielder Byron Buxton in the semis. All night, Caminero peppered the Hank Aaron Terrace down the left-field line, putting media members in the outdoor auxiliary press box in the line of fire. After Raleigh put up 18 in the finals, Caminero threatened to match him with sporadic bursts of power. The Ray finished the timed round needing four homers to tie the Mariners' catcher, but he ran out of steam and fell just short. Upon the final out, Raleigh high-fived his Mariners teammates in attendance — Randy Arozarena, Brian Woo and Andres Muñoz — before embracing his brother and his father. Advertisement 'I don't even know what to say,' Todd Jr. gushed. 'He's just a beast. It couldn't have gone any better.' Todd Sr., whose batting practice was on point all night, admitted that he has struggled to fully contextualize his son's unbelievable season. 'I mean, people started saying [Johnny] Bench and [Mickey] Mantle,' the longtime ballcoach said. 'It's hard for me. I'm like, 'Well, wait a minute, those guys are baseball legends and gods.' I can't really put my son with that, but the numbers are coming to that. Hard to believe.' Even though Monday was Cal's first time participating in the annual All-Star dingerfest, it wasn't his first Derby title. In the summer of 2005, an 8-year-old Raleigh emerged victorious in a slightly less heralded home run contest. Advertisement After a travel ball game, Cal went to a picnic at a friend's house. In the yard, a competition materialized as he and his buddies dreamed big-league dreams. The fences were objects out there somewhere — shrubs, trees, other markers in their world of make-believe. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the large kid who would one day be known as Big Dumper clocked the most home runs. And in what is now-uncharacteristic fashion, Cal Raleigh did a little gloating. 'I'm the home run derby champ,' he blabbered in a delightfully juvenile, sing-songy voice. 'Say it in the pamp, in the wamp, I'm the champ. I'm the home run derby champ.' Advertisement It was true then, and it's still true now.
