That Hall of Famer is Ken Griffey Jr. Back in June 1987, 30 years ago last week, the two were linked. Both were star high school outfielders and considered among the top prospects available in the MLB Draft. Seattle and Pittsburgh agreed. The Mariners made Griffey the top overall pick and the Pirates chose Merchant at No. 2. Griffey’s story is well known. He would go on to hit 630 home runs and earn 10 gold gloves in 22 seasons in the majors....

Daily fantasy sports sites normally bring in between 10 and 20 percent of a contest’s entry fees as a “rake,” paying out the rest to the contestants as winnings. Instead, DraftKings will be donating a day’s rake to an as-of-yet unannounced charity. At this time, it is unclear whether the NBA and WNBA will be returning to action Friday or Saturday. The ballpark estimate for the donation, according to Darren Rovell, is around $500,000....

RELATED: Dragon Age Companions: The D&D Moral Alignments Of The Main Characters Her character, next to Sera and Solas, is one of the more disliked companions of the game. This is because many players tend to side with mages over templars, and Vivienne can come across as power hungry and snooty. Despite this though, many still recognize her as a good character. She is well-written. Some fans wish she had more one-on-one scenes so that players could understand her better....

One of the biggest questions about this title is obviously why it is named Dragon Age: Dreadwolf but Solas is known as The Dread Wolf—why one is one word but the other is two. This explanation could dive deeper into Solas’ psyche and the meaning of his name to more poetic nuances. For example, Solas often speaks in rhymes and one of his personal quests “All New, Faded for Her” is an anagram for Dread Wolf Fen’harel, and one fan recently pointed out that Dreadwolf is an anagram for Fade World....

The obvious emotional reaction from fans aside, Iron Bull’s betrayal in Trespasser is worth examining. Betrayal is a major theme in Dragon Age: Inquisition, but no one pulls it off as cold and calculating as Iron Bull. Compared to even the dread wolf himself, Iron Bull’s behavior up until the Trespasser betrayal is perfect for a spy. For fans who got to see this dark side of Bull, it proves how the qunari’s Ben-Hassrath spies are the best of the best....

“We have several other big projects in the works,” Hudson starts, before clarifying that “they’re super-secret right now.” He goes on to say how BioWare Edmonton has a “large and growing team” tied to one of those projects. Edmonton is now working this project through pre-production. Finally, Casey clarifies that, “based on the progress I’m seeing, I can confirm that indeed the Dread Wolf rises.” RELATED: Dragon Age 4 Lead Producer Leaves BioWare...

Now, Dragon Ball FighterZ publisher Bandai Namco has throw gas on the fire of season 3 speculation by revealing black silhouettes with colored backdrops when purchasing characters related to season 3. These colors are almost certainly related to the character that will be added, as Kefla’s color matches the color of her shirt, and the second one is a silver color, not unlike that of Ultra Instinct Goku.

Shueisha editor Akio Iyoku stated in a video interview that “there’s also a chance that something other than the movie will be coming this year too,” when discussing the upcoming Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero film. RELATED: New Dragon Ball Super Super Hero Trailer Reveals April 22 Premier This vague hint left many fans wondering if the Super anime series would be making a surprise comeback at some point during the year....

RELATED: Dragon Ball Z: Strongest Original Movie Villains, Ranked The game has gone through some evolution, and it spotlights all eras of Dragon Ball–from the original series to Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT, the movies, Xenoverse games, and, of course, the titular Dragon Ball Super series. This means players can have heroes and villains from all eras cooperating or fighting in the CCG realm. Some of these cards have become incredibly valuable as players try to get their hands on them and one inevitably become the most expensive Dragon Ball Super card....

Trunks - The Warrior of Hope is the third and final DLC for Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, and it pits the titular warrior against the two mighty androids. There are several story encounters that include these two adversaries as enemies, but they also appear as random encounters and a new training module as well. Since Future Trunks doesn’t have any allies to fight alongside him, these battles usually wind up being two against one as well, so there’s a lot to consider when taking them on....

Fans of the console have been waiting for a confirmation on whether or not Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot will be playable on it. Sadly, Bandai Namco has confirmed that the game will not be making its way over to the Nintendo Switch. Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot will only be playable on the PC, PS4, and Xbox One. RELATED: Rumor: Dragon Ball Z Kakarot is Getting New Box Art The news comes from an inquiry handled by AltChar....

Every loading screen in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot comes with a story recap along with some art relating to the current conflict. These recaps not only help to remind players of what is currently happening in the story, but also occasionally fill in some of the missing details the game might have glossed over. Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot has recently added a time machine which allows players to travel back in time to various points of the story and replay completed story missions or intermissions, and these story recaps have been more helpful than ever before for players....

Unfortunately for English speakers who were hoping it gave a glimpse into Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot’s story, it’s worth mentioning that this trailer is only available in Japanese for now. It’s clear, though, that the time period of the trailer is after the Frieza Saga and likely close to the Trunks arc, as Vegeta is shown running around in his pink Badman shirt on Earth. It does highlight a few locations such as Capsule Corp, the main city, and the area surrounding it, so the trailer does provide a time period for story-concerned fans, at least....

The Square Enix and Dragon Quest Twitter accounts have both confirmed that Dragon Quest Treasures has received a Nintendo Switch demo a mere month after release. Because Dragon Quest Treasures is only a month old, many potential owners have yet to go through with clicking the buy button, but the demo may help them make a decision. Like with the recently released One Piece Odyssey which had a demo ahead of launch, any gameplay that a player works through while playing the portion of the game in the Dragon Quest Treasures trial will carry forward in a save file in the full version of the game....

The Philadelphia Stretcher wrote that he had a great plan and added that SmackDown might have lost the “battle of the brands” at Survivor Series but there was no performance as shortsighted and embarrassing as the one that Mustafa Ali had. Ali was part of the men’s SmackDown team for their traditional 5-on-5-on-5 elimination tag match against RAW and NXT. Team captain Roman Reigns solely led the Blue Brand to victory but an altercation with King Corbin led to Ali’s elimination from the match courtesy of the Stomp from RAW team captain Seth Rollins....

Butch made his main roster debut in March, joining forces with Sheamus & Ridge Holland. The trio are collectively known as The Brawling Brutes and were recently embroiled in a feud with Xavier Woods & Kofi Kingston. Speaking about The Bruiserweight on WWE’s The Bump, Drew said he loves Butch’s aggression and eagerness to fight. The former champion added that it’s only a matter of time before the former NXT star takes the fight to Sheamus:...

The PS4 exclusive racer - really the only new racer for PS4 this year - was first hit by major delays after it was initially unveiled as a next-gen launch title for Sony’s latest home console. Amidst confusion over whether DriveClub wasgoing to actually be free for PlayStation Plus subscribers (it’s not, they just get a demo), the game launched this week. We had the chance to play it before launch day and scored the game rather favorably in our DriveClub review....
