Hardest Baseball Positions
Every position on a baseball diamond is harder than it looks, but they are not created equal.

Wimbledon’s Electronic Line Calling Explained: The End of Line Judges
For 147 years, from the first championship in 1877 through 2024, every “out” at Wimbledon was called by a human being in a Ralph Lauren uniform. In 2025, that ended: the All England Club switched to full electronic line calling, retiring around 300 line judges in one stroke, abolishing the player challenge system entirely, and…

2026 World Cup Final Halftime Show: Everything We Know
For the first time in the World Cup’s 96-year history, the final will have a halftime show, and FIFA is not easing into the concept.

MLB Trade Deadline Explained: Rules, Dates & How It Works
At 6 p.m. ET on July 31, Major League Baseball’s trade market slams shut, completely. Since 2019 there is no August escape hatch, no waiver-trade workaround, no second deadline: the July date is the only one, which is precisely why the final 48 hours have become baseball’s frantic midseason holiday, complete with all-night front-office phone…

Tennis Scoring Explained: Why 15, 30, 40 and Love
Tennis is the only major sport where the score goes 15, 30, 40, where zero is called “love,” where a tie at 40 is called “deuce,” and where nobody alive can tell you with certainty why. The scoring system is a 600-year-old inheritance from medieval France, so old that its original logic is genuinely lost,…

The Open Playoff Format Explained: The 4-Hole Aggregate
If the Open Championship ends in a tie on Sunday, there’s no Monday round, no sudden-death coin flip, and no shootout at a single hole. The Open settles its ties with a format unique among golf’s majors: a four-hole aggregate playoff, played immediately, over a set stretch of the host course, lowest total score over…

Open Championship Prize Money by Year: What the Champion Earns
The winner of the 2025 Open Championship earned $3.1 million from a total purse of $17 million, numbers worth holding against the championship’s origin: the first Open, in 1860, paid its winner nothing at all.

Why Is It Called The Open? The Name, Explained
Golf’s oldest championship has a naming problem that flares up every July: is it “The Open,” “The Open Championship,” or “the British Open”? The organizers are emphatic, it is The Open Championship, “The Open” for short, and the definite article is doing real work: this was the first, the original, the one all other “opens”…

What Is a Links Course? Golf’s Original Terrain, Explained
Every July, golf broadcasts fill with a word that most casual fans nod along to without ever quite defining: links. The Open Championship is played exclusively on links courses, it’s a requirement, not a preference, and the word describes something far more specific than “a course near the ocean.” True linksland is a particular kind…

Open Championship Winners by Year: Every Champion Golfer Since 1860
The Open Championship has crowned a Champion Golfer of the Year since 1860, making its winners list the oldest continuous record in major championship golf, older than the sport’s other three majors combined at the time of its founding.
