Despite the outcome for the Yankees this season, we have been lucky as fans to watch Mariano Rivera during his farewell to baseball tour. As he visited each ball park, and was honored by each team, you really understood just what he meant to the sport.
Tonight, before Game 2 of the World Series, Mo will once again be honored. Bud Selig will be presenting him with the Commissioner's Historic Achievement Award, and Mo will be honored on the field as part of the pre-game ceremonies. The award was created to recognize contributions of historical significance in the MLB. Mo's career as a whole has played a historical role in baseball. The all-times save leader spent 19 years in pinstripes, appeared in 1,115 games, had a 2.21 ERA, and 652 career saves. Ken Griffey Jr was the last person to receive this award in 2011.
Mo was also honored on Monday at MetLife stadium by the New York Giants. Before kick-off, a Mo highlight video was played, and Mo trotted out through the end-zone tunnels to "Enter Sandman." A sign that he is not only admired by baseball, but sports professionals across the board.
I don't think there are enough words to express the gratitude that we as Yankees fans feel towards Mo. He has been the shining example of what we except from Yankees. Humble even through all his achievements. He is the role model that every young man looking to pursue a career in sports should attempt to exemplify. And this award that he will receive tonight is just further proof of how incredibly honored we are, not just as Yankees fans, but as baseball fans to have been able to witness his career.

Star Trek Continues is a non-profit, fan produced webseries that was launched in May 2013 with its first episode, “Pilgrim of Eternity.” The show is being produced to complete the final two years of the original 5-year mission. Our inaugural episode brings back original series guest star, Michael Forest as Apollo. The accuracy of the sets, lighting, filming and the quality acting and characterization brought great praise and support from Star Trek TOS fans all over the world.

For many of us, Star Trek has shaped who we've become. It is our passion, our love and even our moral compass. Most importantly, it binds fans together from across the planet into a spirited discourse on the many dimensions of our fictional universe. Carl Sagan said it best, "We are all connected . . .", and indeed, Star Trek connects each of us to one another.
We would have many more adventures with Kirk and crew over the years, but never again in the style of the original series or with the original actors. Our particular passion is a certain time and place in the Star Trek Universe, and that's what we'd like to share with you. This is the beginning of our vision of how a little show that became a worldwide phenomenon could have evolved had it never ended.
We invite you to join us as STAR TREK CONTINUES.
Gotta Love the Original Style Series!

Guest starring Evan Fowler and introducing Bobby Rice a Ensign Peter Kirk, nephew of the Captain. Written and Directed by David Gerrold. Teleplay by Carlos Pedraza. This episode was filmed in June of 2007.
Carolina Panthers wideout Steve Smith is listed on the injury report with an ankle injury, although he is officially designated as probable for tonight’s game. Smith reportedly injured his ankle in practice on Tuesday when a teammate stepped on his ankle. Smith was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday, but is expected to play.
Injury Outlook: Looks like a minor ankle sprain for Smith, who appears to have just gotten a bit of rest on a short week in an important game for the Panthers’ playoff chances. Smith has been relatively healthy all season and this doesn’t appear to be anything that will limit or hinder him. Expect him to receive plenty of rest after tonight’s game, taking advantage of more time in between Week 8 and 9. But for this week, should be all systems go for Smith.
