Congrats to Sidney Crosby on passing Mario Lemieux for most points in Pittsburgh Penguins history. Lemieux held the record since 1989 when he broke the record held by Penguins Hall of Famer Rick Kehoe.

Here’s video of Mario congratulating Crosby who lived with the Lemieux family when Sidney began his pro career as an 18 year old when he was the overall No. 1 draft pick.

With 1,724 career points, Crosby is now 8th on the NHLs all-time list. Which Penguins player ranks second on the NHLs all-time points list, trailing only Wayne Gretzky?

Lots of debate on the internet as to whether Cal Raleigh should’ve edged out Aaron Judge for AL MVP because in addition to his offensive prowess he also was outstanding playing the demanding position of catcher where he didn’t have one passed ball all season long.

Dave Parker and Gary Carter

Willie Stargell and Keith Hernandez

Steve Garvey and George Foster

Ralph Kramden and Ed Norton

The NBA season is underway and 20-year old rookie V.J. Edgecombe had an Opening Night that wowed fans with 34 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists as the 76ers beat the Celtics in Boston, 117-116.
