HOUSTON (AP) — Carlos Correa hit a leadoff home run in the 11th inning and the Houston Astros won a battle of the bullpens, beating the New York Yankees 3-2 Sunday night to tie the AL Championship Series at one game apiece.

The slumping Correa, who earlier hit an RBI double and made a sensational play at shortstop, connected for an opposite-field shot to right off J.A. Happ.

Correa watched the ball sail, then held up one finger as he rounded the bases. As he approached home plate, he tossed his helmet as if shooting a basketball at the crowd of teammates waiting for him... Read More

NEW YORK CITY, NY (CNN) — An artist’s doodles on the
walls of a New York City bar could be worth a fortune! Japanese artist Yoshitomo
Nara made them 10 years ago — with a felt-tip pen — on the walls of a Manhattan
bar named “Niagara.”

The drawings are getting fresh attention after one of Nara’s
paintings sold at auction for nearly $25 million.

The bar’s management declined
to comment, but a bartender told CNN the artwork, quote: “has been a part
of the bar for a long time and will stay that way.” The drawings are
protected by a thin layer of plastic installed by the bar’s ownership.

A Sotheby’s Auction House representative estimates they could be
worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, but Nara’s rep says the artist does not
want to see the drawings sold. The rep said it was done in the spirit of the
moment and Nara isn’t interested in monetizing them, even though they’re
certainly worth some money... Read More

LAS VEGAS
(KLAS) — A local veteran is taking home thousands of dollars worth of
brand-new furniture for free. It’s all thanks to an organization, with the
mission to help those who have served our country, succeed in life.

For Navy veteran Chris
Bridgeforth, it’s the gift of a lifetime.

“I’m a very, very
blessed lucky man right now,” Bridgeforth said.

Bridgeforth, along with his
son and pregnant wife, have a $4,000 credit to get whatever they want.

It’s all thanks to the Armed
Forces Chamber and Sleep Well Las Vegas through a program called, “Honoring
Veterans on Military Birthdays.” On the birthday of each military branch, a
veteran from that branch will be honored.

Bridgeforth served in the
navy for about a decade. Now, he’s a life insurance agent and recently moved to
Summerlin. He was honored Sunday, because it’s the Navy’s 244th birthday... Read More
