By Mitch Chortkoff Sports Editor Last season 23-year-old Corey Seager was the National League Rookie of the Year. This season 21-year-old Cody Bellinger is well on his way to being the second straight Dodger to win that award. It’s easy to see that the Dodgers have the heart of their batting lineup for what appears to be many seasons. The other half of the story is that these kids are carrying the team’s offense already. Bellinger has hit 24 home runs and has 55 RBI in 57 games. Don’t forge...

I am just sick and more than a little angry when I found out Ole Miss imposed a bowl ban for 2017 on herself. Just because the Rebels might be facing more penalties when the NCAA says their program committed more than 20 rules violations over the past several years. For the ninth year in a row Sea Islands (near Brunswick, Georgia) has received four stars from Forbes Travel Guide making it the only location in the world with that distinction. Need a vacation then take a rest in Savannah,...
