Instead, he was proclaimed good to return by Bruins coach Jim Montgomery following the morning skate. Adam Erne scored for Detroit.

The Most Memorable Sports Moments of 2021

Sports Curious

In some ways, 2021 might have felt a bit like a reboot of 2020, but there were so many moments to be excited about. Let's look back before diving headfirst into 2022.1. The college sports landscape changed forever with the July ruling that allowed athletes to be paid for their name, image and likeness (NIL). Athletes like the Cavinder twins who play women's basketball at Fresno State were the first to take advantage of the ruling. Some athletes like Michigan running back Blake Corum and Iowa lineman Tyler Linderbaum used their NIL money to benefit a good cause, not just their wallets. 2. Mental health became a dinner table topic thanks to athletes like Simone Biles (gymnastics), Naomi Osaka (tennis) and Lane Johnson (NFL). Johnson took a leave from the Philadelphia Eagles to face his battle with depression head-on. Osaka withdrew from the French Open and Wimbledon to focus on her well-being. But the world saw just how the pressure impacted an athlete when Simone Biles battled the "twisties" in the Summer Olympics. She put her safety and her team first, withdrawing from the women's gymnastics all-around competition. 3. Sports fans continued to realize what so many already knew, women's sports are the place to be. Not only did viewer ratings soar for the WNBA (Women's National Basketball Association), women's college basketball championship game and the NWSL (National Women's Soccer League), but we saw the first college softball game on a major national network. The NFL and MLB (Major League Baseball) added more female coaches and front-office executives. In 2022, look for the women's college basketball tournament to use the coveted "March Madness" title for the first time. 4. The year brought us athletes who seem to get better with age. Tom Brady won the Super Bowl with his new team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (NFL – National Football League), in February at age 43. (And then celebrated with maybe one too many shots at the championship boat parade). At 46, Helio Castroneves won the Indy 500, and Phil Mickelson showed off his impressive 50-year-old calves on his way to a PGA (Professional Golfers Association) Championship win.   5. The delayed 2020 Summer Olympics gave the world the positivity and excitement we'd all been missing. COVID precautions meant athletes' families had to watch from the comfort of their couches, too, but the stories of athletes like Caeleb Dressel, Suni Lee and Katie Ledecky all brought us to our feet. The US topped the medal count with 113 total medals, 39 gold, including one from the US Men's Basketball Team, who continued their medal streak. Bonus: If you're a fan of F1 (Formula One) Racing, then you likely caught the race of the century when Max Verstappen beat out seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton for the 2021 championship. But did you know that Hamilton, the only Black F1 driver, is also a fan of fashion? He purchased a table at the Met Gala, which runs around $275,000, and filled it with three emerging Black designers to grow their reach.

Celebrating 5 Veterans Who Are Also Professional Athletes

In honor of Veterans Day, we salute our athlete veterans and say thank you for your service to all our veterans. Transcript 1. MLB (Major League Baseball) legend Ted Williams' put his hall of fame career on hold for three years of military service. In the middle of his 19-year baseball career, he opted out of baseball and into the Navy for three years. During his assignment to the Marine Corps, his piloting skills were as revered as his ability to swing a baseball bat. In 1952, he missed part of the season when he was called up to fight in the Korean War. He returned home and finished out his historic career in 1960. 2. Pat Tillman is likely this generation's most notable veteran. He walked away from a successful career with the Arizona Cardinals (NFL – National Football League) to join the Army after the terrorist attacks of 9/11. His brother joined the Army as well. Pat served with the Army Rangers until he tragically lost his life in action in 2004. 3. Before offensive lineman Alejandro Villanueva played for the Baltimore Ravens (NFL), he went to West Point and served as an Army Ranger Captain until 2015. He has had quite an impressive football career since then. Villanueva is one of few active professional athletes that are veterans. 4. Before Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in baseball with the Los Angeles Dodgers (MLB), he was drafted into the Army during World War II. While he never served overseas, he spent time at Fort Hood and Camp Breckinridge in Kentucky, where he served as an athletic coach. 5. Legendary "Coach K" - Mike Krzyzewski (pronounced Sha-chef-ski) - played basketball at West Point and served as a field artillery liaison to the infantry in the early 1970s at Camp Pelham. After his military career, he began coaching and was the basketball coach at West Point before leaving to coach the Duke basketball team. Krzyzewski, who also coached Team U.S.A., is the most successful coach in men's college basketball history and was inducted into the basketball hall of fame. Coach K will retire after the 2021-22 basketball season.

MLB – Major League Baseball – 2021 World Series – Best of 7 Last Night Atlanta Braves 7, Houston Astros 0                                          (ATL wins 4-2) Braves 7, Astros 0 – Braves win first World Series title since 1995 The Atlanta Braves have won their first World Series championship since 1995, hammering the Houston Astros 7-0 in Game 6.  Jorge Soler hit his third home run of the Series, a go-ahead three-run drive in the third off Luis Garcia, and Freddie Freeman and Dansby Swanson also connected. Max Fried allowed four hits over six innings for the win. Steadied by 66-year-old manager Brian Snitker, an organization man for four decades, the underdog Braves won the franchise's fourth title, about 9 1/2 months after Hall of Fame slugger Hank Aaron died on Jan. 22 at 86.  The loss left Houston's 72-year-old Dusty Baker still seeking his first title as a manager.  Former Chicago Cub Jorge Soler was voted MVP of the World Series. Soler hit .316 with three home runs and six RBIs. He became the first batter to lead off a World Series with a home run, hit a go-ahead, seventh-inning drive in Game 4 and put the Braves ahead in Game 6. MLB – Indians begin removing scripted name from stadium scoreboard The Cleveland Indians have begun removing the scripted logo atop the giant scoreboard at Progressive Field as they transition their name to the Guardians. Crews started dismantling the letters Tuesday, beginning with the “I” on the 80-foot-long sign. It's another step in the offseason change for the Major League Baseball team. The American League franchise had been known as the Indians since 1915 but announced earlier this year it was changing its name in a move prompted by a national reckoning on racist names and symbols. The removal of the letters is expected to take several days. The sing will be placed in storage and evaluate options for a permanent spot for it. NHL – National Hockey League Last Night Montreal Canadiens 3, Detroit Red Wings 1 Canadiens 3, Red Wings 1 – Suzuki, Allen lead Canadiens to 3-0 win over Red Wings Nick Suzuki had a goal and two assists, Jake Allen stopped 22 shots and the Montreal Canadiens beat the Detroit Red Wings 3-0. Josh Anderson scored his third of the season and Brendan Gallagher added an empty-netter for the Canadiens, who had lost three of their last four — all on the road.

Kyle Beach accused an assistant coach of sexual assault in 2010 and the team largely ignored the allegations. Susan Loggans, an attorney who representse Beach, says the sides met for about an hour. She says there may be more talks. Loggans also is part of a second lawsuit against the team by a former high school student whom Brad Aldrich was convicted of assaulting in Michigan. NHL – Cheveldayoff says he was unaware of severity of allegations Winnipeg Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff says he was unaware of the severity of the sexual assault allegations made more than a decade ago against a former Chicago Blackhawks assistant coach. An investigation found Cheveldayoff was among a group of team leaders who discussed the allegations on May 23, 2010. The report released last week stated there was no evidence anything was done about the accusations after the meeting until then-team president John McDonough contacted the Blackhawks' director of human resources on June 14 — a delay that violated the organization's sexual harassment policy. Cheveldayoff, assistant GM and senior director of hockey operations with the Blackhawks at the time, said the allegations were presented as harassment rat...

NFL – National Football League – Week 8 Yesterday Philadelphia Eagles 44, Detroit Lions 6 San Francisco Giants 33, Chicago Bears 22 Tennessee Titans 34, Indianapolis Colts 31 – OT Eagles 44, Lions 6 – Eagles run for 4 TDs in 44-6 victory over winless Lions Boston Scott and Jordan Howard each had two touchdowns on the ground, helping the Philadelphia Eagles run over the Detroit Lions in a 44-6 win Sunday. The Eagles ended a two-game losing streak against a team that was very accommodating. The Lions go into their bye week as the NFL's only winless team. The break gives first-year coach Dan Campbell extra time to figure out how to avoid leading the league's first 0-17 team after being a tight end on the first 0-16 team in Detroit 13 years ago. Giants 33, Bears 22 – Garoppolo leads way as 49ers beat Bears 33-22 to stop slide Jimmy Garoppolo threw for 322 yards and ran for two touchdowns, and the San Francisco 49ers beat the short-handed Chicago Bears 33-22 to snap a four-game losing streak. Garoppolo led three touchdown drives in the second half and another possession that ended with a field goal. He scored from the 2 in the third quarter and ran it in from the 5 in the fourth to make it 30-22. Deebo Samuel had six catches for 171 yards. Elijah Mitchell carried 18 times for 137 yards and a touchdown, helping San Francisco win for the first time since beating both Detroit and Philadelphia on the road to start the season. Chicago lost its third straight. Titans 34, Colts 31 – Titans use late turnovers to pull off 34-31 OT win at Indy Randy Bullock made a 44-yard field goal in overtime to cap a wild finish in the Titans' 34-31 win at Indianapolis. The teams combined for two touchdowns in the final 86 seconds of regulation, setting up overtime before Carson Wentz threw a costly interception. Ryan Tannehill was 23 of 33 for 265 yards and three touchdowns as the 6-2 Titans overcame a quiet day from NFL rushing leader Derrick Henry, who was held to 68 yards on 28 carries. Other NFL Scores Green Bay 24, Arizona 21 Buffalo 26, Miami 11 Carolina 19, Atlanta 13 L.A. Rams 38, Houston 22 N.Y. Jets 34, Cincinnati 31 Pittsburgh 15, Cleveland 10 New England 27, L.A.

When his team loses - and that's all it has done - he's going to take the blame. As usual, Campbell's players strongly disagreed. As usual, the problem was the inability to get the ball down the field. Tight end T.J. Hockenson finished with 10 catches for 89 yards, but Amon-Ra St. Brown was the only wide receiver to catch a pass. He had two receptions for 12 yards in the first half, then added a 34-yard reception in garbage time. NFL – Bears struggle with Mack sidelined, Nagy missing game The Chicago Bears missed coach Matt Nagy and his energy on the sidelines. But the defense seemed to be missing players like Khalil Mack and Eddie Jackson even more in a 33-22 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers scored on seven straight possessions and made it two straight games for the Bears defense giving up more than 30 points.  Even Justin Fields' all-around effort couldn't prevent the Bears from losing their third straight, though he became the first Chicago quarterback since Bobby Douglass in 1973 to rush for 100 yards.

NHL – 'Animalism': Blackhawks scandal raises culture questions The former player at the heart of the Chicago Blackhawks assault scandal has come forward publicly. Kyle Beach tells TSN he felt “alone and dark” in the days following the alleged assault in 2010.  Earlier this week, a report detailed how senior team leaders badly mishandled Beach's allegations that an assistant coach sexually assaulted him. The ramifications now stretch beyond Chicago. Florida coach Joel Quenneville is slated to meet with NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman on Thursday. Winnipeg general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff also is planning to talk to the commissioner next week. Both were with the Blackhawks when the allegations were first reported to team leadership.

Quenneville was back on the ice with the Panthers on Wednesday. He's going to sit with NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman on Thursday, a meeting that'll probably determine his coaching future.

NHL – National Hockey League Tonight Detroit Red Wings at Washington Capitals, 7:30 p.m. Toronto Maple Leafs at Chicago Blackhawks, 7:30 p.m. NHL – Blackhawks GM resigns, team fined after sexual assault probe An independent review has found that the Chicago Blackhawks mishandled allegations that an assistant coach sexually assaulted a player during the team's Stanley Cup run in 2010. Stan Bowman resigned as the Blackhawks' general manager and president of hockey operations in the wake of the report by a law firm hired by the team. The NHL fined the team $2 million for “the organization's inadequate internal procedures and insufficient and untimely response.” The former Blackhawks video coach was alleged to have sexually assaulted two players, with the front office knowing and doing nothing. Bowman also stepped down from his position as GM of the U.S. men's hockey team at the Winter Olympics. NHL – Blackhawks captain Toews enters NHL's COVID-19 protocol The Chicago Blackhawks put captain Jonathan Toews and Henrik Borgstrom in the NHL's COVID-19 protocol, giving the winless team five players on the list. Toews and Borgstrom missed practice after they joined fellow forwards Patrick Kane and Jujhar Khaira and defenseman Riley Stillman in the protocol. Assistant coaches Marc Crawford and Tomas Mitell are away from the team for the same reason. The use of the COVID-19 list doesn't necessarily mean any of the players or coaches tested positive. They could have been deemed a close contact of someone who tested positive. The team was 100% vaccinated at the start of training camp.

Boosted by a strong bullpen effort, a two-run homer by Adam Duvall and a late sacrifice fly from Freddie Freeman, the Braves coasted in their first Series appearance since Chipper Jones and the Big Three aces ascended in 1999.

Tyler Bertuzzi scored a career-high four goals to help the Red Wings take a three-goal lead three times. Tampa Bay rallied in the third period when Ross Colton, Nikita Kucherov and Alex Killorn scored in a four-minute span to make it 6-all.

The Lions became the first team to lose two games in the same season on game-winning kicks of 50-plus yards with no time left on the clock, and they did it in a three-week span. The Bengals were part of the first game that was marred by three potential winning field goals that failed to split the uprights in the fourth quarter or overtime. Both teams get a chance to bounce back Sunday at Ford Field. NFL – Bears eye share of NFC North lead with Rodgers, Packers The Chicago Bears have a chance to grab a share of the NFC North lead when they host Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. It's an opportunity that would have been tough to envision a few weeks ago. The Bears hit a low point with a 26-6 loss at Cleveland. They managed just 47 yards for one of the lowest totals in NFL history. They bounced back by beating the Detroit Lions and Las Vegas Raiders. But wins over the Packers have been few and far between. Green Bay has won 19 of the past 22 meetings counting the playoffs. And the Packers are 21-5 against the Bears in games Rodgers has started. NFL – Bears place running back Damien Williams on COVID-19 list The Chicago Bears have placed running back Damien Williams on the reserve/COVID-19 list, putting his status for their game against the Green Bay Packers in question.

MLB – Major League Baseball – 2021 MLB All-Star Game, Coors Field, Denver, CO Last Night American League 5, National League 2 American 5, National 2 – AL makes it 8 straight wins The American League has earned its eighth consecutive All-Star Game victory.  Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Mike Zunino hit solo homers and Xander Bogaerts had two of the AL's nine hits in a 5-2 victory over the National League.  Marcus Semien put the junior circuit ahead to stay with an RBI single in the second, one inning before Guerrero went deep. Guerrero also poked an RBI grounder and Bogaerts added a run-scoring single.  Guerrero is the first Toronto Blue Jay to be named the MVP of the All-Star Game. J.T. Realmuto put the NL on the board with a solo shot in the fifth.  Jared Walsh made a sliding catch in left field on Kris Bryant's tricky liner with the bases loaded to end the eighth inning, keeping the AL ahead.  Angels star Shohei Ohtani made history as the first All-Star to be selected as both a pitcher and a hitter. He was the AL starting pitcher and worked a perfect first inning to get the win but finished 0-for-2 at the plate.  Corbin Burnes took the loss, yielding two runs and four hits over two frames.  The AL owns a 46-43-2 lead in the all-time series. MLB – Manfred: Banning defensive shifts would be restoring MLB Banning or limiting defensive shifts would be an effort to restore Major League Baseball to how it was played before offense was suffocated by analytics, according to baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred. Speaking before the All-Star Game to the Baseball Writers' Association of America, Manfred said seven-inning doubleheaders and starting extra innings with runners on second base likely will be dropped after this season. He said extending the DH to the NL could be possible. Manfred said MLB was considering having umpires explain video review decisions to fans at ballparks over the public-address system, similar to the procedure in the NFL MLB – Manfred: A's fate in Oakland to be decided in coming months Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred says the fate of the Athletics in Oakland will be determined in the next few months. A's owners have proposed a new ballpark in the Howard Terminal area of Oakland, and Manfred said if the stadium project is not approved, the team would move forward with either a move to Las Vegas or a wider relocation search. Manfred says “The Oakland process is at an end” and adds “This is the decision point for Oakland as whether they want to have Major League Baseball going forward.” NBA – 2021 NBA Finals – Best of 7 Tonight Phoenix Suns at Milwaukee Bucks, 9:00 p.m.                                         (PHX leads 2-1) NBA – Suns can hack and whack Giannis, but know he'll keep coming Giannis Antetokounmpo pointed to a pair of scratches, one on his forehead and the other on his cheek. Those NBA Finals battle scars are proof, he figures, that the frustrated Phoenix Suns are indeed fouling him. The Suns may be smacking and hacking him, but they sure aren't stopping the Milwaukee Bucks star. Coming off two straight 40-point performances, Antetokounmpo will try to help the Bucks even the series in Game 4 on Wednesday. He shot 17 free throws in Game 3. The Suns only had 16 as a team. The Suns know he will keep attacking no matter what. NBA – NBA Finals ratings up from 2020 pandemic, down from 2019 The NBA Finals has gained some, but not all of its audience back after last year's trip to the pandemic bubble. Ratings were way down last year when the Finals were held in October with no live audience watching the L.A. Lakers win the championship. This year, back closer to a normal time and with a live audience providing atmosphere, viewership was up 41% compared to the first three games of last year. Still, the opening games were down 34% from 2019, the last time there was a “normal” series and Toronto beat Golden State.

What You Need To Know About Sports Most Fashionable Night - The ESPYs

The ESPYs are like the Golden Globes – you get the best of both worlds. It's the one night of the year where athletes and celebrities gather to celebrate the achievements in the world of sports while giving us the summer red carpet we've all been missing. 1. Typically, the awards show takes place on a Wednesday in July after the MLB (Major League Baseball) All-Star Game, referred to as “Black Wednesday,” the one day a year where there are no live sports. This year, with leagues playing COVID adjusted schedules, there is no dark day to hold the event. So that means there will likely be no Olympians, MLB (Major League Baseball) or WNBA (Women's National Basketball Association) players or members of the Phoenix Suns or Milwaukee Bucks who are playing in the NBA (National Basketball Association) Finals in attendance. There's a chance the Stanley Cup Finals (NHL - National Hockey League) will be over by then, but it's not a sure bet.  2. Just because there will be no Megan Rapinoe and Sue Bird sighting on the red carpet, it doesn't mean you'll be disappointed. The fashion game will undoubtedly be impressive when Lindsey Vonn, Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union, Russell Wilson and Ciara and LeBron James (likely promoting Space Jam 2) step into the spotlight.    3. Unlike the Oscars, where you've never heard of most of the movies, the fans get a say who receives some of the awards like the best athlete in women's sports, best game and best team.    4. ESPN can put together a video package that'll pull at your heartstrings while leaving you inspired, and the awards at the ESPYs are no different. Here's a quick summary of each of the major awards: Chris Nikic, the first person with Down syndrome to complete a full IRONMAN triathlon, will receive the Jimmy V Award for Perseverance. Four-time WNBA champion and two-time Olympic medalist Maya Moore will receive the Arthur Ashe Award Courage Award. She is being recognized for her work to free Jonathan Irons, who she felt was wrongly convicted of a crime. She stepped away from her career to work to free him. (Ultimately, he was released). Manchester United (European soccer) star Marcus Rashford rallied Parliament during COVID to support children who received free lunch pre-pandemic, securing a $556 million grant to provide meals into 2021. For his work that impacted 1.7 million children, he will receive the Pat Tillman Award for Service. 5.

These sons and daughters are following in their fathers' footsteps while making their own name. Her dad, two-time Hall of Famer Rick Flair, is considered one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time, and Charlotte Flair is living up to his legacy. The college volleyball player turned WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) star has been a trailblazer for women in WWE, with nine championships to her name. “The Queen” was also the first WWE star to grace the pages of ESPN The Magazine's Body Issue. You can't have a list of famous fathers and their kids without mentioning the ultimate trio – the Manning crew. Dad, Archie Manning, was an NFL (National Football League) quarterback for 15 years. His quarterback sons Peyton and Eli have both won two Super Bowls. Their third brother Cooper is ‘only' a partner in a law firm and a TV personality. Cooper's son, Arch, is keeping the family name alive as an impressive high school football prospect. You'll not likely be able to miss the 6'6” Vashti Cunningham in next month's Summer Olympics. The high jumper is the daughter of Hall of Fame quarterback turned pastor Randall Cunningham. This will be the second Olympics for Vashti, who competed in Rio. She has long discussed how her dad is her rock as she competes at the highest levels. Laila Ali had big shoes to fill when she followed in her dad's footsteps. Her father was the one and only - the “World's Greatest” boxer Muhammed Ali. A boxing champion herself, she's also a television personality and fitness guru who has appeared on shows such as American Gladiator and Dancing With The Stars. But she doesn't stop there. Laila has her own line of seasonings (including the G.O.A.T seasoning), a skincare line and her own clothing line at Nordstrom. The future of baseball lies in the hands of the 22-year-old offspring of two baseball (MLB - Major League Baseball) legends. Vladimir Guerrero Jr, the son of Hall of Famer Vladimir Guerrero, follows in his father's footsteps, leading the league in home runs and all-star voting. Then there's San Diego Padres Fernando Tatis Jr (son of former MLB player Fernando Tatis). At a young age, he has already been on the cover of the “MLB The Show” video game, landed his own Gatorade commercial and is the leading vote-getter amongst shortstops for the all-star game.

How The Sports World Is Saving Mother Earth

Sports Curious

How far are you willing to go to save Mother Earth? Well for these teams, the sky’s the limit. 1. The Green Rovers, a soccer team from Western England, is leading the charge to go green. They claim the title as the only vegan football (i.e., soccer) club in the world. Since 2015, there have been no animal products for sale in the stadium. Some of the players eat non-vegan outside of the stadium (and there are paparazzi photos to prove it), but some have adopted the vegan lifestyle. The team is also the world’s first U.N. certified carbon-neutral sports club.  2. From medals made of recycled consumer electronics to recycled cardboard beds, expect the Tokyo Summer Olympics to set the bar high when it comes to a sustainable Games. Anyone can reduce their carbon footprint by using fuel-efficient vehicles and existing venues, but Japan is taking it one step further using post-consumer plastic packaging collected throughout Japan to create the medal podiums. Not to be outdone, organizers are aiming to achieve 100 percent renewable energy for the electricity used to power the Games. 3. Pocono Motor Speedway’s (NASCAR - National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing) green efforts not only benefit the earth but you. The raceway runs completely on solar power and has sheep for lawn mowers. But they have an industry-specific problem – what to do with as many as 600 used tires after a race? Answer – recycle. The recycled residue from old tires is used in everyday items such as portable speed bumps, the anti-fatigue mat in your kitchen or playgrounds. 4. Home field advantage for some sports teams is an urban farm. Fenway Park, one of the oldest stadiums in baseball, was granted its LEED certification. The home of the Boston Red Sox (MLB) also has a rooftop farm that generates 5,900 pounds of produce annually to be used in the stadium. The home of the San Francisco 49ers boasts a 27,000-square foot rooftop farm that generates 500 pounds of produce monthly.  5. The Cleveland Indians were the first MLB (Major League Baseball) team to install a wind turbine to power their stadium. Others have since followed. Although the Indians can boast that their stadium is 100 percent powered by renewable energy from wind power.

These two baseball lifers tackle the social and economic architecture of the sport, share personal stories of life in and around the game, and discuss the challenges people in baseball are facing to get back on the playing field. And one more thing - listening to the interplay between father and son will stick with you long after this episode of The Sydcast is done.Syd FinkelsteinSyd Finkelstein is the Steven Roth Professor of Management at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College. He holds a Masters degree from the London School of Economics and a Ph.D. from Columbia University.

Mark ShapiroOver a career that spans 28 seasons, Mark Shapiro is one of the rare executives in Major League Baseball that has had the opportunity to lead and impact baseball, business, and league operations. Widely considered one of MLB's top executives, he was appointed as President & CEO of the Toronto Blue Jays in November 2015, following 24 seasons within the Cleveland Indians organization. Mark began his career in baseball in 1992 when he joined the Cleveland Indians as an assistant in Baseball Operations. He quickly moved up the ranks and spent five seasons (1994 to 1998) overseeing all aspects of the Indians' player development system as Director of Minor League Operations, before becoming Vice President of Baseball Operations & Assistant General Manager from 1999 to 2001. Following both the 2005 and 2007 seasons, Shapiro was named the Sporting News “Executive of the Year,” at the time the only active GM in MLB to win the award twice. In 2005 he was also named “Executive of the Year” by Baseball America, and after the 2006 season, the Indians organization was named “Organization of the Year” by TOPPS for the first time. In 2007, Mark was named to the elite “40 under 40” by Sports Business Journal, as well as being listed on Baseball America's “10 to Watch” list. Ronald M.

In addition, Mr. Shapiro is the Special Advisor to the owner of the NFL Baltimore Ravens, and has played similar roles for the General managers of the NBA San Antonio Spurs, Oklahoma City Thunder and the Brooklyn Nets. He has written multiple bestselling books, lectured at numerous top universities, has appeared as a negotiations expert on ABC's Good Morning America, ESPN's Mike and Mike in the Morning, and many other media outlets.

Mr. Shapiro has received numerous special honors and recognitions, including recipient of The American Red Cross Lifetime Achievement Award in 2013. Mr. Shapiro's dispute resolution techniques have settled a major symphony orchestra strike, facilitated solutions to human relations problems, and resolved disputes in governmental, corporate, and major biotechnology challenges. Mr. Shapiro has negotiated on behalf of, or served as deal coach to, Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, sports teams, and entertainment and news personalities. Ron Shapiro is frequently cited by parties representing each side in a negotiation as the ultimate Win-Win negotiator.Insights from this episode:Details on how and why Ron Shapiro went from being a corporate securities lawyer to a sports agent in the mid 1970's and how he helped shape the role of sports agent as a player's advocate.How growing up in the world of baseball shaped Mark Shapiro's life and career.Differences between the financial structure of Major League Baseball versus other major league sports institutions.Strategies Major League Baseball is employing to continue to move forward not just during the COVID-19 but also maintain relevance in the future.

Agents now are about recruiting and retention; my father modeled agents as advocates.” – Mark ShapiroHow the Shapiro's approach negotiations: “In the corporate world, in the baseball world, in any world you want to do good deals and you want the other side to feel that they've got a good deal, but you want to have a working relationship to build on that after the fact.” – Ron ShapiroOn the effects of COVID-19: “Our country is becoming more and more divided economically and from a survival point of view.” – Ron ShapiroOn our future with COVID-19: “People make predictions, but that's all they are is predictions. We don't know where we're going with this.” – Ron ShapiroOn leading people during COVID-19: “I've tried to walk that line between the importance of being transparent and being open but still being hopeful and optimistic.” – Mark Shapiro“I've always thought, as a citizen of the world, you have a responsibility to be alert to what's going on and to try to help other people.” – Syd Finkelstein“When people view Major League Baseball they often don't understand that the major league team is just the tip of the spear and that there's an entire organization underneath.” – Mark Shapiro“We're not dealing with challenges that are unique to MLB [Major League Baseball] we're dealing with global challenges that people are facing at some scale and at some level throughout the entire world.” – Mark ShapiroOn dealing with the stress of COVID-19: “That's a principle that I think always applies; try to focus on things you can control and don't let all those other things make you crazy.” – Syd Finkelstein“We will not shut down.
