For all things related to sports. Possible talking point: Tejada does a Babe Ruth [1]:

When Miguel Tejada met 8-year-old Jacob Scott on Friday, he was so touched by the little boy with muscular dystrophy he promised him a home run.Tejada fulfilled his vow to the youngster by hitting the first of three straight Houston home runs in a 7-4 win over the Milwaukee Brewers.

"I was so excited," said Tejada, who'd never promised a home run before. "I know it's hard to tell someone you'll hit a home run and do it. But today when I went to lunch with this kid I wanted him to be happy. So I told him I'd do it."

Stop it. You can't actually promise someone you'll hit a homer, and actually do it. But Miggy did. If this doesn't bring a tear to your eye, turn off your computer, and back away from your desk.
