By Tony M. CentenoApril 5, 2022The Game is known for firing shots at whoever he believes deserves them whether its in his music or on social media. Now it seems as though the Compton rapper is setting his eyes on his next victim, which could be Eminem. During a Clubhouse discussion held on Sunday, April 3, The Game's manager Wack 100 claimed that the "Eazy" rapper's next single is expected to feature some shots aimed at Eminem. According to Wack, the song is sure to spark a response from the Detroit MC. “We startin’ a fire, the Black Slim Shady is coming,” Wack said during the conversation. “That n***a better be ready, because this n***a done went crazy.” WARNING: EXPLICIT LANGUAGE When asked to elaborate on the subject, Wack suggested that the song may come off as friendly competition. However, the lyrics are apparently bad enough to trigger a response from Em that could be similar to the tracks the Shady Records founder made in retaliation to disses from Machine Gun Kelly and Nick Cannon.  » Read More

Chub Feeney stood before the team for his annual rah-rah speech in the home clubhouse at Dodger Stadium. It was July 1980. The National League All-Stars were about to defend their eight-game winning streak against their American League counterparts, and Feeney badly wanted to continue the trivial dominance.Feeney was the National League’s president.

He was selected most valuable player in his first All-Star appearance in 1974. He appeared in 10 games over his career and went undefeated.
