Livvy Dunne buys rare Paul Skenes rookie card
Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes and his partner, influencer and former gymnast Livvy Dunne, have become a baseball power couple since Skenes' rapid ascent to superstardom dating back to his rookie season last year. Skenes' dominant play and subsequent National League Rookie of the Year win further propelled the frenzy when baseball fans and card collectors went on a mission to find the one-of-a-kind Paul Skenes Rookie Debut Patch Autograph card. That card was discovered by an 11-year-old California native and eventually went to auction, where it would ultimately sell for $1.11 million to, at the time, an anonymous bidder. Just hours after its sale was finalized, DICK'S Sporting Goods announced they were the ones to pony up the more than $1 million. Now, another rare Skenes rookie card has come to light. Except this time, the card didn't end up in the hands of a collector or sporting goods store. Skenes' partner, Dunne, has paid $2,850 for the rare Skenes card. The card in question is a 2024 Bowman's Best anime card depicting the former No. 1 overall pick. Dunne scooped the card while attending Fanatics Fest in New York City. Only five such cards were produced, with the one that Dunne purchased receiving a perfect PSA grade of 10, according to the vendor in the video. Skenes sees card exhibit for first time Skenes on Friday was at DICK'S House of Sport at Ross Park Mall, where he viewed the exhibit housing his one-of-one card for the first time. "Keep it in Pittsburgh, it's cool," Skenes said of the card and the exhibit. Appearing at a trading card event, Skenes also met with some young Pirates fans who were thrilled to see the Pirates' ace. Skenes owns a 4-7 record with a 2.12 ERA and 110 strikeouts so far through the 2025 season.

Can DICK'S Sporting's Digital Push Power the Next Leg of Growth?
DICK'S Sporting Goods, Inc. 's DKS digital strategy has been a key growth driver. The company is making bold strides in digital transformation, firmly positioning itself as a leading omnichannel player in the sports industry. DKS' GameChanger platform and the Dick's Media Network are significant pillars fueling its long-term digital revenue streams. While GameChanger serves as a high-margin growth engine, Dick's Media Network is a retail media platform that capitalizes on the growing scorecard loyalty program and customer data ecosystem. Through GameChanger, the company engages with athletes beyond the traditional shopping experience, further reinforcing its dominance in sports. In first-quarter fiscal 2025, DKS recorded more than 6.5 million unique active users, with an average of approximately 2.2 million daily active users, reflecting 28% growth. DKS witnessed robust e-commerce results in first-quarter fiscal 2025, outpacing its overall growth. It achieved the largest Diamond Sports launches to date, complemented by an elevated, diversified assortment positioning DKS as the go-to destination for the new product. DICK'S Sporting's in-app capabilities have played a vital role in driving the success of its product launches across categories. The company is rapidly scaling its multi-billion dollar e-commerce business by fortifying its online presence and capturing market share from both online only and omnichannel retailers. DKS is making significant investments in technology to offer a seamless omnichannel experience to athletes and drive greater engagement across its digital platforms, including Its access to top-tier products from national and emerging brands, paired with premium in-store and digital experiences, will continue to bolster demand and solid sell-through on launches.

In the whirlwind of technological advancements, Amazon has emerged as a leading example of shaping digital infrastructure to build customer satisfaction. The company strategically leverages its AI-based technologies in sync with its broader digital-transformation actions. Amazon's renowned subscription service, Prime, started as a free two-day shipping and has evolved into a comprehensive platform offering streaming media, exclusive deals and other member benefits. Amazon's digital marketing strategy, including quick delivery options and adaptability to meet customer evolving needs, is a key catalyst of its revenue driver. As a global sports leader, NIKE continues to make substantial investments in its digital platform in a bid to drive customer engagements and higher revenues. NIKE transitioned to a push marketing approach at the start of fiscal 2025, and its digital platforms reflect an approximately equal balance between full-price and promotional sales. NIKE prioritizes a direct-to-consumer approach, with platforms like the Nike App, SNKRS App and other social media channels to boost direct consumer engagements and offer top personalized experiences. lululemon prioritizes e-commerce as a vital growth pillar, boosting digital investments to capture the increasing online demand. lululemon's initiatives aim at site development, enhanced omnichannel functionality and expanded fulfillment capabilities. The company is scaling services such as curbside pickup, same-day delivery, and buy online, pick up in-store while upgrading its mobile app to support these offerings.
