Bo Jackson turns 52 years old today and MLB’s Twitter account just passed along this video of the legendary two-sport athlete homering three times at Yankee Stadium in July 1990 …

If you’ve never seen “You Don’t Know Bo” — ESPN’s fantastic documentary on Jackson’s life and athletic accomplishments — change that as soon as possible. I think I’ve watched it 30 times. It’s on Netflix.

PHOENIX — The Arizona Diamondbacks extended manager Torey Lovullo’s contract through the 2024 season.

The deal is the third straight one-year extension for the longest-tenured manager in team history.

Lovullo is 446-483 in seven seasons, with one playoff appearance.

Lovullo led the Diamondbacks to the 2017 National League division series his first season and a winning record the next two. Arizona general manager Mike Hazen stuck with Lovullo after an injury-filled 110-loss season in 2021 and the Diamondbacks have enjoyed a resurgence this year.

The Diamondbacks enter against Atlanta 35-24, tied with the Los Angeles Dodgers for the best record in the NL.
