Certain benchmarks are helpful in evaluating players’ cases. Traditionally, there are the round numbers, like 500 home runs or 3,000 hits. There also is the Jaffe War Score system (JAWS) , created by Jay Jaffe to measure the peaks of players’ careers within eras. What about comparing within eras? Most people would agree that if you are the best player in baseball for 10 years, you probably belong in Cooperstown....

The Basketball Federation of India has banned 122 basketballers, players and coaches from competition in India and abroad, under the allegation that they were playing for “unauthorized” leagues. This is alleged to be targeted at a number of basketballers who are currently in the UBA or United Basketball Alliance, an independent basketball league. The UBA, launched a year ago, has a significant following, but is not authorized by the BFI, which itself is affiliated to FIBA, the international governing body of the sport....
Scientists tracking basking shark numbers off California have found that between the 1960s and 1990s, around 4,000 sharks appeared there every year. But then all of a sudden, sightings stopped. Since the 1990s, there have been less than 60 sightings per year. Why these sharks left California is a mystery. Basking sharks are the second-largest shark species on the planet, growing to over 26 feet long and weighing over 11,000 pounds....

Shortly after a quick-strike drive by the Bengals put the Seahawks in a 7-0 hole and signaled the potential for a long day, Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson rallied his offense on a 4:30 drive, including 46 total yards from the Seahawks running game (still missing star back Marshawn Lynch) on the ground. The runs set up a perfect 30-yard toss from Wilson to wide-open receiver Jermaine Kearse. MORE: Scoreboard | Worst moments of Week 5 | Rodgers’ streak ends...
Britain’s book business is getting bigger, in every way. The Henley Center, a London-based consultancy, recently reported that Brits are buying more books than ever (more than 3 billion worth in 1998) and spending more time reading. A record number of titles are being published–more than 100,000 last year. The boom can be attributed partly to the Internet, which has made book-buying easier, and mostly to book prices, which have tumbled dramatically in Britain....
Footage from Battlefield 2042’s open beta depicting cheaters using traditional hacks including wallkhacks, aimbots, player location data, radar data, and more have been widely shared within the Battlefield community. Despite the Battlefield 2042 open beta having been available for just over a day, it appears that traditional hacks from common hacking sources work without issue. The hacks are notably rudimentary, of course, though that’s perhaps in part due to the Battlefield franchise being less of a target for hack makers than the Call of Duty franchise....
Battlefield 2042, the latest iteration of EA’s flagship military first-person shooter, had a lot of hype surrounding it. After the World War era detours in Battlefield 1 and Battlefield V, Battlefield 2042 brought the series back to its glory days of near-future settings, where the series thrived during the Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4 era. However, aside from the missing single-player campaign and the lackluster Hazard Zone, the title was plagued with many issues, including a massive amount of bugs....
When playing a video game in the safety and comfort of your home, using digital recreations of real-world weaponry to lay waste to perceived enemies, it becomes easy to do unrealistic things, make unnatural decisions. In Grand Theft Auto, players kill police officers and steal their cars because it’s fun. In first person shooters, if civilians are around, some will shoot them to be “naughty” and this is something DICE does not want to be a part of Battlefield 3....
David Goldfarb, lead designer of both Battlefield 3 and Bad Company 2, recently took to Twitter to criticize how Battlefield 2042 turned out.

The teasers started last week in a video uploaded by Battlefield YouTuber JackFrags. The video was mostly just about Battlefield 5, but it ends with the camera zooming in on a pocket watch. This bizarre ending was acknowledged by Niklas Astrand of DICE, who responded, “tick tick tick…” This seems to suggest that the pocket watch is part of some kind of official Battlefield series tease, with some fans convinced that it is pointing to a Battlefield 6 announcement....
As seen in the tweet below from the official Battlefield V Twitter account, DICE and Electronic Arts plan to have Conquest “return to its roots”, which presumably means it will operate similarly to how it worked with its introduction in Battlefield 1942. This would mean that players will have to drain opponents’ number of tickets to zero or have more tickets than the enemy by the end of the round....
PS4 players report that they have seen a Battlefield V event notification, reminding them of the announcement that’s taking place on May 23.

Players with this much experience, let alone former Cy Young winners, generally are exempted from such trips, allowed to get work in on the back fields instead of taking a bus from the Atlantic Coast to the Gulf shore.
