Some more stuff for you.

ESPN plans to air a movie on the horse, Ruffian, who died back in 1974. However, trainer Frank Whiteley, Jr. and jockey Jacinto Vasquez are among three parties suing Disney. They say ESPN used their names and stories without their consent. I don’t think this will prevent the movie’s airing on June 9.

Barry Tramel of the Oklahoman newspaper has a profile on ESPN sideline reporter Holly Rowe who’s been doing yeoman’s work during the Women’s College World Series.

I linked to the YouTube video on Sunday. Now comes word that the Atlanta Braves have suspended Double A manager Phillip Wellman for three games.

You may have seen this yesterday, but here is one of the best manager’s ejections of all time. This is Phillip Wellman of the Mississippi Braves getting ejected Friday night. My favorite moment is when he crawls towards the mound and tosses the rosin bag like a grenade towards the home plate umpire. It’s classic.

And here’s a recap of what happened Friday night.
