“We’ve Got it Goin' On” is the Backstreet Boys‘ debut single. It had limited success in the US, but was more successful in Europe.

Fun Fact: Their youngest member Nick was unable to sing on the recording of the song because – at the time – his voice kept cracking due to puberty; according to Howie, Kevin used to razz him badly!

Nolan Arenado touched ‘em all for the 40th time this season with this line drive.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_o7VMEajKho

Fun Facts:

Nolan Arenado joined two elite clubs with this blast.

  • He’s now the third third baseman to go deep 40+ times in consecutive seasons. The other two? Eddie Mathews (1953-55), and Troy Glaus (2000-01).
  • He’s also the fourth Rockies player in franchise history to accomplish the back-to-back feat. The three before him are Andres Galarraga (1996-1997), Vinny Castilla (1996-1998), and Todd Helton (2000-2001).

It looked like the Rangers would be stopped in their tracks tonight. Kendall Graveman took a perfect game into the seventh inning, but lost it on an high-bouncing infield single by speedster Carlos Gomez.

Two batters later, after Carlos Gomez scored on a groundout, Adrian Beltre stepped up and crushed pitch over the left field wall to widen Texas’s lead to 3-0.

Side Notes:

  • Beltre’s highlight home run helped Rangers clinch the division later that night.
  • Adrian Beltre officially has 100 RBI with this two-run blast.

Big Papi’s two-run shot was enough for Boston to notch their ninth victory in a row… all against AL East teams.

After Pedro Alvarez cut the lead in half with a solo shot in the 8th and after Matt Wieters tied it in the 9th, it was only fitting that the Orioles would come back to win with a walk-off homer.

And who did it, might you ask?

None other than the MLB’s leading home run leader, Mark Trumbo.

Side Note:

This is Mark Trumbo’s fifth walk-off home run. His last one was three years and three teams ago (April 21, 2013), back when he was on the Angels.

Serena Williams, who is arguably the greatest tennis player in the world (and a woman with whom Common had a strong relationship), makes about four times less in endorsements than Maria Sharapova (who consistently ranks No. 2 or 3).

Viola Davis made comments around the difficulties Serena faced during the year which saw much more success than failure.
