UFC 100 was held this past weekend. It was being hailed as the biggest event in UFC history. Reigning heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar was defending his belt against a tough opponent in Frank Mir. These two guys don’t like each other and it was quite apparent following the fight. Lesnar beat Mir down in round 2 then taunted him, the fans, and the UFC following the fight. UFC President was not happy with Lesnar’s post-game act.

The 2009 MLB All-Star Rosters were announced the other day. For the most part there weren’t any snubs. One thing I love about the MLB All-Star voting is that the mangers of each team will select five players from their league who were not initially selected… then put them up for the “Final Vote.” Fans rally around a player and send them to the All-Star Game. This year, four of the AL Final Vote nominees are on my fantasy team: Chone Figgins, Adam Lind, Carlos Pena and Brandon Inge.

Roger Federer defeated Andy Roddick in the Wimbledon Finals yesterday to pick up his record 15th Grand Slam title. Federer passed Pete Sampras’ mark of 14 titles and now stands alone in tennis history with the most career Grand Slams. Yesterday match went a record 30 games in the final set. Roddick fought hard and came within one point of knocking out the No. 1 seed. Federer will once again reclaim the World No. 1 spot following his win.

July 4th is a time we celebrate our nation’s independence. It’s a time for family gatherings, outdoor activities and BBQs. With the 4th landing on a Saturday this year, we are also blessed with plenty of sporting events to attend of watch on TV. Let’s take a look at what’s going on.

Not since Ted Williams hit .406 in 1941 has any Major League Baseball player hit .400 or above. There have been several players to get close, but hitting over .400 for an entire season is a remarkable feat. A batter would need to get on an incredible hot streak and continue it for months. Today, I tried to “Stump Zeke” with the question: Since Ted Williams hit over .400 in 1941, who has come the closest?” Check the video below for his response.

So I’m watching the ESPN bottom line this morning as I’m getting ready for work and saw a mention of Albert Pujols jacking his 29th and 30th homerun of the season last night. That’s 30 homeruns and we haven’t even hit the midway point of the season. He’s on pace for about 62 homeruns, which would be an incredible feat since the steroid eruption a few years ago. No one has hit over 60 homeruns since Barry Bonds and Sammy Sosa did it in 2001.

The LSU Tigers are 2009 College World Series Champions. The Texas Longhorns took the series to 3 games, but the Tigers offense was just too much. LSU got off to a quick start putting up 3 runs in the first inning. A 5-run sixth inning virtually put the game out of reach. This is the sixth national title for the Tigers.

The 2009 NBA Draft is coming up on June 25 at the WaMu Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The Los Angeles Clippers have the first selection and all the experts have them selecting Blake Griffin. All this talk about the NBA Draft got me thinking… what year had the best draft class? In my opinion it comes down to two years: 1984 and 1996.
