Mets Hire Johnny Washington as Co-Hitting Coach
The New York Mets appoint Johnny Washington, 42, as co‑hitting coach alongside retained Troy Snitker, completing a revamp of a staff that struggled last season (tied for 23rd in OPS, 20th in runs). Washington comes from a 2026 stint as the Atlanta Braves’ minor‑league hitting coordinator and has served in hitting roles with the Angels, Cubs, Padres and Dodgers, plus a head‑hitting job in Anaheim. He previously worked with manager Andy Green in San Diego (2017‑19) and has coached current Mets Jared Young and Luis Torrens. The overhaul also adds assistant hitting coach Rafael Fernandez, assistant coach Mariano Duncan, and strategy coordinator A.J. Ellis as the team eyes the 2027 campaign.
Kamada’s Late Goal Eases Pressure on Palace Boss Sage
Daichi Kamada nets a stoppage‑time equaliser to secure a 1-1 Premier League draw for Crystal Palace at Hoffenheim, easing immediate pressure on manager Pierre Sage despite the side finishing the match with ten men after Adam Wharton’s red card. Hoffenheim led early through Alexander Prass, but Palace’s hopes rose when Kamada slipped the ball under Dean Henderson after a cross from Yeremy Pino and a Tyrick Mitchell knock‑down. The point lifts Palace from the relegation zone’s third spot, though Sage’s job remains under scrutiny, especially after dropping defender Axel Disasi from the squad. Upcoming fixtures include a packed November schedule of league and Europa League games.

Eagles’ Kelly Green, Super Chargers Highlight Week
Week 9 brings two NFL throwback looks: the Philadelphia Eagles return in their Kelly Green alternate kit against the New York Giants, while the Los Angeles Chargers debut their all‑navy “Super Chargers” uniforms versus the Houston Texans.

The spotlight isn’t tied to recent performance; the Eagles are battling a slump, and the Chargers still chase their first win. These retro uniforms highlight the league’s growing nod to heritage.
