Box Score: 9/28 - Bosh, FIFA, Ali and Mangenius

Good morning and welcome to YB's Box Score, what we're reading between J.J. Watt back evaluations.

Happy birthday to Janet Evans, Bam Margera, Ray Emery and Ryan Zimmerman. On this date in 1941 Ted Williams ended his season with a .406 batting average, and in a nice bookend, on this date in 1960 Williams hit his final home run (#521) of his career.

Around the League: 

YB ICYMI: 

"He’s essentially done it all: 13 years of excellence, 11 of those years an All-Star, two of those years a champion. Bosh is so much bigger than the Miami Heat, bigger than basketball, bigger than just a few more seasons." - To save his legacy Chris Bosh must first protect his health

"EA even added in Mass Effect-style dialogue options so that you can determine Hunter's temperament, which actually ends up affecting team chemistry and on-field play. It's astounding, and is honestly one of the best story modes in a sports game that I've ever played." - FIFA 17 review: O jogo bonito

"There have been 21 new NBA arenas built during the Garnett/Kobe/Duncan era. Arenas like the Boston Garden, Capital Centre, Great Western Forum, the Omni, Reunion Arena and the Spectrum have gone away." - What the NBA (and world) looked like before Kevin Garnett, Kobe Bryant and Tim Duncan

"Camping World Stadium is always a busy place at this time of year. It will host three bowl games – two of which have ACC ties – so they are used to moving big games in and out of there." - So where will the ACC football championship be played?

"In one moment he’ll be talking about Derek Jeter and then transition to talking about short-lived Dodger utility man Tom Wilson and how they shared a minor league locker room in 1993 in Greensboro, North Carolina, all while still calling the game in front of him." - A fond farewell to Vin Scully

Happy birthday, NHL. Here's your puck for the 2016-2017 season.
