It is refreshing to see Tom play a role in an action flick, and we will be definitely seeing this. It hits theaters October 11, 2013.

This was the first American cargo ship to be hijacked in two hundred years.

During Thursday's Padres/Cubs affair at Wrigley, Borbon was facing Padres pitcher Luke Gregerson and pulled off one of the worst acting jobs in MLB history. Watch as a Gregerson pitch goes a tad outside and fails to hit Bourbon but that doesn't stop Julio from acting like it did: (Courtesy of Buzz Feed) Fri, 03 May 2013 13:28:00 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/mlb/article_external/chicago_cubs_julio_borbon_pretends_to_get_hit_by_a_pitch_video/13544504 http://network.yardbarker.com/mlb/article_external/chicago_cubs_julio_borbon_pretends_to_get_hit_by_a_pitch_video/13544504 Chicago Cubs Julio Borbon pretends to get hit by a pitch (Video) http://www.yardbarker.com/mlb/articles/chicago_cubs_julio_borbon_pretends_to_get_hit_by_a_pitch_video/13544504 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/4/5/45aab28bd179e818de5de125923b1f4d4c8cc706/mini/Angels_vs_Rangers_d08b.jpg Jimmy Dugan, Tom Hanks' character in the classic baseball movie "A League of Their Own," said it best...there's no crying in baseball. But for Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington, he'd like to make an exception to that rule today. On Sunday, the Rangers officially traded the face of the franchise, Michael Young, to the Philadelphia Phillies for Josh Lindblom and Lisalverto Bonilla. The impact of the loss of young is not lost on Washington. "This is a very, very tough situation," Washington said, reports The Dallas Morning News. "Michael's been my go-to guy since I've been here. He's done a lot in the form of leadership in the clubhouse, on the field and in the community. That's something we'll sorely miss. "He's such a professional. If there was crying in baseball, I guess I'd cry." Young has been a cornerstone piece for Washington since his arrival in 2007.

The affable actor not only agreed to pose for photos with a fan — a rarity in itself, especially for megastars like Hanks — but he hammed it up by ridiculing the pretend fan. In one shot, the fan slumps against the Oscar winner’s shoulder, and in another the actor is pointing and cackling while the dude faceplants into his pizza. I know we’re focused on sports here, but how awesome is Tom Hanks? I can’t even begin to think how this situation came about. The kid asks Hanks for a picture and then just passes out. Secondly, what time of the day do you think this is going down. Either way, you have to love Tom Hanks for this move. First, Forrest Gump now this, Tom Hanks is a legend.

Apparently, he is a fan of Aston Villa, who was in town to play the Timbers in an exhibition friendly. He explains how Aston Villa came to be the team he roots for.   Tom doesn’t quite say that he favors one team over the other.  He is familiar with Timber Joey’s antics and seems to know how to represent the American side of Soccer quite well. He is relatively new to the game and is still learning, but it’s good to see him take the time to visit America’s most passionate soccer stadium. Going to an MLS game in Portland should be a high priority for all American soccer fans. Tom is one of America’s all-time biggest movie stars. By coming out for an MLS match, he is sending a message of support for soccer. Sometimes, with the choice to be anywhere, being in Portland at an MLS game is the best place to be. Just ask Tom Hanks. ***** Howard Alperin is Managing Editor of AmericanizeSoccer.com Mon, 13 Aug 2012 09:16:38 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/entertainment/article_external/video_tom_hanks_attends_portland_timbers_game_schmoozes_with_players/11443243 http://network.yardbarker.com/entertainment/article_external/video_tom_hanks_attends_portland_timbers_game_schmoozes_with_players/11443243 Video: Tom Hanks Attends Portland Timbers Game, Schmoozes With Players http://www.yardbarker.com/entertainment/articles/video_tom_hanks_attends_portland_timbers_game_schmoozes_with_players/11443243 http://www.yardbarker.com/images/yb_logo_square_grey.png Add Tom Hanks to the list of famous American soccer fans. The Academy Award-winning actor attended Tuesday's game between the Portland Timbers and his beloved Aston Villa, according to the Portland Tribune. Hanks has been a Villa (and soccer) fan for over a decade, but had never seen his favorite team play in person. So the 57-year-old made the trek to Portland, Ore. to get a first-hand look at Villa under new manager Paul Lambert. Hanks, who starred in great films like Forrest Gump, Saving Private Ryan and Big, played a leading role in Tuesday's production. Before the game, he...

The Los Angeles Kings are just one of many pro teams that employ the Kiss Cam during breaks in the action, probably because it’s cheap, fun, and the fans seem to get a kick out of it.  So it only makes sense that when a Hollywood power couple like Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson are taking in a Kings game, you better make sure you feature them on the Kiss Cam. And they did, at the 53-second mark… You have to love the reaction by Wilson, acting like being shown on the Kiss Cam is the greater than any movie role she’s ever had. Hanks is pretty cool as well, going all in with his kiss, then mouthing the words “smoking hot” as he gestures toward his wife.  See, they’re just like us…only rich, famous and way more attractive.
