DALLAS – North Texas is facing a significant severe weather event Sunday night, with the potential for widespread damaging winds, large hail, and possible tornadoes.
Sunday Forecast
Dallas weather: June 8 evening forecast
Ali Turiano gives the latest in severe and tornado warnings across the DFW metroplex. The flood threat continues to rise and 80+ MPH high winds is also expected to be in effect.
Big picture view:
The primary threat will be powerful, straight-line winds, with gusts potentially reaching 80 to 95 mph as a line of storms moves through the region. The Storm Prediction Center has issued a Level 4 out of 5 “moderate risk” for a large portion of North Texas, indicating the potential for a significant severe weather outbreak.
“This has the potential to be one of the greatest severe weather events that we’ve seen so far this spring, just with that high wind potential,” Capps said. She noted that winds of that magnitude can cause damage equivalent to an EF-0 or EF-1 tornado.
Emergency Response Resources
What they’re saying:
Governor Greg Abbott announced that he has directed the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) to activate additional state emergency response resources ahead of increased threats of severe weather and flooding expected to impact the state over the next several days.
“Texas stands ready to deploy all necessary resources to support Texans as severe weather moves across our state that has the potential to bring flash flooding and heavy rain,” said Governor Abbott. “Texans are urged to remain weather-aware, regularly check road conditions, and heed the guidance of state and local officials to ensure the safety of themselves and their loved ones. Regularly monitor roadways before traveling and check TexasFlood.org for flood information. Remember: Turn Around, Don’t Drown.”
At the direction of Governor Abbott, the following state emergency response resources remain available to support local severe weather response operations:
Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service (Texas A&M Task Force 1 and Texas Task Force 2): Swiftwater Rescue Boat Squads, Type 3 Urban Search and Rescue Teams
Texas Division of Emergency Management: The State of Texas Incident Management Team to support deployed emergency response resources across the state
Texas National Guard: Personnel and high-profile vehicles to assist stranded motorists
Texas Department of Transportation: Personnel monitoring road conditions
Texas A&M Forest Service: Saw Crews to assist with clearing of roadways, Texas Intrastate Fire Mutual Aid System (TIFMAS) Strike Teams to support local emergency services
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department: Game Wardens, rescue boat teams, and helicopters with hoist capability to assist with flood rescues
Texas Department of Public Safety: Helicopters with hoist capabilities, Texas Highway Patrol Troopers, and the Tactical Marine Unit
Texas Department of State Health Services (Texas Emergency Medical Task Force): Severe Weather Support Packages consisting of medics, ambulances, and all-terrain vehicles
Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service: Disaster Assessment and Recovery Agents, as well as County Extension Agents to support agricultural and livestock needs
Public Utility Commission of Texas: Power outage monitoring and coordination with utility providers
Railroad Commission of Texas: Monitoring of the state’s natural gas supply and communication with the oil and gas industry
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality: Air/water/wastewater monitoring
Timeline:
The line of storms is expected to approach northwestern North Texas around 8 p.m. and move into the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex between 10 p.m. and midnight. It is forecast to exit the area to the east and southeast between 1 a.m. and 2 a.m. Monday.
“The initial storms that move in from the north and west will have that tornado threat, as well as a large hail threat, but wind continues to be the greatest concern,” Capps said. An increasing flood threat is also a concern due to the potential for heavy rainfall.
Live Radar
Earlier Sunday, scattered showers and some thunderstorms were reported in the far eastern and northeastern parts of North Texas, with some storms crossing the Red River producing hail.
Daytime hours on Sunday are expected to be hot and humid before the storms arrive. High temperatures are forecast to reach the low to mid-90s, with a heat index making it feel like 100 to 104 degrees.
The active weather pattern is expected to continue through the week. Multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms are in the forecast from Tuesday through Thursday, bringing a continued threat of heavy rain and potential flooding.
7-Day Forecast
Residents are advised to stay weather-aware, have multiple ways to receive warnings, and secure outdoor objects that could become projectiles in high winds.

Powerful thunderstorms are expected to pop up in the Plains on Sunday, with forecasters warning that storms could produce hail larger than 5 inches, 80-100 mph wind gusts and even some tornadoes in portions of Texas and Oklahoma. FOX Weather Meteorologist Jane Minar breaks down the latest on Sunday, June 8, 2025.
Fast Facts:
Potential derecho could develop in portions of Texas and Oklahoma.
Destructive storms with 80-100 mph wind gusts and up to 5-inch hail expected in the southern Plains.
Tornadoes may be embedded within the main line of storms on Sunday.
DALLAS –Millions of people in Texas and Oklahoma, including the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, will need to be on alert Sunday as the southern Plains braces for powerful storms packing destructive, hurricane-force wind gusts, massive hail and even some tornadoes.
In its latest update, NOAA‘s Storm Prediction Center (SPC) noted that there could be a “derecho potentially developing into this evening and overnight, especially across much of North Texas and southern Oklahoma.”
The SPC issued a Particularly Dangerous Situation Severe Thunderstorm (PDS) Watch for western and central Kansas, northwest Oklahoma and the Texas Panhandle. The NWS warns widespread damaging winds with gusts up to 90 mph are possible through Sunday night.
A PDS Severe Thunderstorm Watch is extremely rare, according to the FOX Forecast Center. The NWS has only issued these severe warnings 25 times since 2006.

Now, the FOX Forecast Center said that Sunday has the chance to be a “very significant severe weather day.”
The SPC has upgraded the severe weather threat in portions of the south-central U.S. on Sunday to a Level 4 risk on its 5-point severe thunderstorm risk scale.

This upgraded threat includes nearly 7.5 million people in cities like Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, Plano and Garland in Texas.
More than 4 million people in cities like Oklahoma City and Norman in Oklahoma, as well as Lubbock, Amarillo and Abilene in Texas are in a Level 3 out of 5 risk.
WATCH VS. WARNING: HERE ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THESE WEATHER TERMS THAT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE

The FOX Forecast Center said that while there is a tornado threat on Sunday, the bigger threat will be destructive wind gusts between 80 and 100 mph within the main line of the storms. That’s because strong winds aloft in the mid-levels of the atmosphere will exist.
A pocket of cooler air will also be in place, which will then help some of the significant wind gusts reach the surface. The dense, cooler air, along with torrential rain, will serve as the pathway for the winds to work toward the ground.

In addition, the SPC said that hail up to 5 inches, which is larger than a grapefruit, is also possible.
The FOX Forecast Center said that the timeline for the storms to begin to fire up will likely be in the afternoon hours on Sunday, with storm activity peaking in the late afternoon and early evening.
Supercell thunderstorms are likely in Oklahoma and Texas, and the wide coverage of storms will then eventually form into a potentially intense mesoscale convective system (MCS).

Minutos después del atentado, varias figuras política se pronunciaron en redes sociales para rechazar lo registrado en Bogotá, una de las más destacadas fue la precandidata presidencial María Fernanda Cabal.
“Llegan noticias de un atentado en Fontibón contra nuestro compañero de bancada @MiguelUribeT. Rechazo vehementemente este acto criminal. Estamos muy atentos a su situación. Pedimos a Dios por su recuperación. Impotencia y dolor ver esta situación”, escribió la senadora.
Por parte del Gobierno nacional, el primer pronunciamiento fue por parte de la canciller Laura Sarabia, que indicó que la violencia no es el camino y pidió por la salud del precandidato.
“La violencia nunca podrá ser el camino. Rechazo de forma contundente el atentado contra Miguel Uribe. Espero sinceramente que se encuentre bien y fuera de peligro. Nada justifica el uso de la violencia en una sociedad que busca construir en paz”.
En su cuenta de X, el ministro de Defensa, Pedro Sánchez, informó que el Gobierno nacional ofrece hasta 3.000 millones de pesos por información relevante sobre el hecho.

Además, el presidente pidió que los hechos de violencia paren, y terminó su mensaje pidiendo por la salud de Miguel Uribe.
“Respeten la vida, esa es la línea roja. Colombia no debe matar a sus hijos, porque ellos también son hijos nuestros. Mafias de la tierra, costras de la humanidad. Que vivan tranquilas las familias árabes que llegaron a Colombia, da la bienvenida al mundo, y no mata a quienes vienen de todos los rincones del planeta. Mi solidaridad a la familia Uribe y a la familia Turbay. No sé cómo mitigar su dolor. Es dolor de madre ida y de patria“, puntualizó el mandatario.

El atentado contra el precandidato presidencial ha provocado que en el país se vuelva a hablar de atentados a candidatos presidenciales, principalmente lo registrado con Luis Carlos Galán Sarmiento y Jorge Eliécer Gaitán.
El 9 de abril es una fecha de gran recordación en Colombia, esto se debe a que en 1948 Juan Roa Sierra disparó contra Jorge Eliécer Gaitán en cuatro ocasiones, en el centro de la capital.
Por otra parte, Luis Carlos Galán fue asesinado cuando protagonizaba un evento público en el municipio de Soacha, este hecho se registró el 18 de agosto de 1989.
Uno de los exmandatarios que reaccionó es Álvaro Uribe: “Atentaron contra una esperanza de la Patria, contra un gran esposo, padre, hijo, hermano, contra un gran compañero de trabajo. Pedimos a Dios por la recuperación de Miguel. Nuestra confianza en los médicos, en las Fuerzas Armadas, la Justicia. Apelamos a la reflexión ciudadana”.
Así lo hizo también el expresidente de Colombia, Cesar Gaviria Trujillo, citado por el Partido Liberal: “Rechazamos el atentado en contra del senador Miguel Uribe. Oramos por su recuperación. Nuestra solidaridad con la familia. Los Colombianos merecemos poder vivir en Paz, indicó”.
El exmandatario Juan Manuel Santos se unió a las reacciones: “A donde hemos llegado. Condenamos de la forma más enérgica el atentado a @MiguelUribeT. Nuestra solidaridad con su familia. Un llamado a la calma, a rodear las instituciones y a defender nuestra democracia”, indicó.

Después de llegar a la clínica y compartir unos minutos con los familiares del senador Miguel Uribe, el ministro de Defensa, Pedro Sánchez, informó en su cuenta de X que están intentando verificar si hay más implicados en el atentado en contra del precandidato presidencial.
“Por otra parte, ya está bajo custodia uno de los presuntos involucrados en el atentado. Estamos verificando si hay más personas implicadas. La investigación no se detiene y vamos a llegar hasta el fondo. No habrá espacio para la impunidad. Hago un llamado a todos los colombianos: oremos por la vida de Miguel. Unámonos como país, la oración compartida es poderosa en momentos así“, escribió el ministro.
En horas de la tarde de este sábado 7 de junio, el precandidato presidencial y senador del Centro Democrático, Miguel Uribe, recibió varios disparos en medio de un atentado. Sucedió durante un evento del partido en Modelia.
Se sabe que fue trasladado al centro asistencial Medicentro Fontibón con heridas, al parecer, en su cabeza.

¿Qué pasó?
Imágenes que circulan en redes sociales dejan ver el temor que se vivió en Fontibón por cuenta de este atentado ocurrido cuando se dirigía al público a las afueras de un edificio de campaña de esta localidad.
El Centro Democrático se pronunció así: “Hoy, en un acto de violencia inaceptable, el senador y precandidato presidencial Miguel Uribe Turbay fue víctima de un atentado en un parque de la localidad de Fontibón, Bogotá. Sujetos armados le dispararon por la espalda mientras participaba en un evento de campaña sobre las 5:00 p.m”.
Agregó: “Rechazamos enérgicamente este ataque que no solo pone en peligro la vida de un líder político, sino que también atenta contra la democracia y la libertad en Colombia. Expresamos nuestra solidaridad con su esposa Claudia, su hijo, su familia y su equipo de trabajo”.
De acuerdo con lo que se ha conocido, el senador se encontraba en una actividad de campaña en compañía de figuras como el concejal de Bogotá, Andrés Barrios.
Dos horas antes de que se conocieran las fuertes imágenes, el senador Miguel Uribe había compartido un mensaje en redes sociales que anunciando que denunciaría a los ministros que firmasen el decreto de la consulta popular.
“Ministro que firme el decreto convocando a la consulta popular, lo denunciaré por prevaricato. Primero la constitución, primero, el pueblo colombiano”, dijo en un video publicado antes de ser víctima del atentado.
Presidencia se pronunció
Esto dijo Presidencia a través de un comunicado: “El Gobierno rechaza de manera categórica y contundente el atentado del que fue víctima en las últimas horas el senador de la República, Miguel Uribe Turbay”.
“Este acto de violencia es un ataque no solo contra la integridad personal del senador, sino también contra la democracia, la libertad de pensamiento y el ejercicio legítimo de la política en Colombia. Todo acto que pretenda acallar mediante la intimidación o la violencia a quienes participan en la vida pública es inaceptable y merece el más profundo repudio por parte del Estado y la ciudadanía”.
Adicional, el Gobierno del presidente Gustavo Petro reiteró su “compromiso irrestricto con la protección de todos los líderes políticos, sociales y ciudadanos que ejercen sus derechos en el marco de la Constitución y la ley. La paz, la convivencia y el respeto por las diferencias son pilares fundamentales para la construcción de una sociedad justa y democrática”.
Para terminar, el gobierno hizo un llamado a todos los sectores del país para que “rodeemos con unidad nuestras instituciones y rechacemos cualquier forma de violencia política. Solo a través del diálogo, la legalidad y el respeto por la vida podremos avanzar hacia un país más equitativo y en paz”.

Senior pitcher Conor Myles kept the Texas batters in check, powering UTSA to the NCAA Austin Regional Championship. The Roadrunners have advanced to the Super Regional round, where they will take on UCLA.
JUNE 6, 2025 — After a decisive victory over Kansas State and twice conquering the No. 2 Texas Longhorns to claim the NCAA Austin Regional Championship, UTSA Baseball now has its sights set on the College World Series. No. 15 UCLA is the lone team standing in the Roadrunners’ way.
UTSA will travel to Los Angeles to take on the Bruins in a best-of-three NCAA Super Regional series that starts on Saturday, June 7, at 6 p.m. CT. The second game of the series will be held at 2 p.m. on Sunday, June 8. A third game, if necessary, will be held at a time yet to be determined on Monday, June 9. The winner of this Super Regional series will advance to the NCAA Men’s College World Series in Omaha, where college baseball’s national champion will be crowned over the course of an 8-team tournament from June 13–23.
Though UTSA’s triumph in Austin shocked many college baseball fans across the country, no one in the Roadrunners’ dugout was surprised. Reaching the College World Series has been the team’s expressed goal throughout the 2025 campaign under the leadership of sixth-year head coach Pat Hallmark. UTSA (47–13) notched wins over prestigious programs like Texas and Texas A&M early in the season before racing out to a huge lead in the American Athletic Conference standings and clinching the league’s regular-season championship with two full weeks left on the schedule.
UTSA’s regular season showing was impressive enough for the Roadrunners to earn an at-large bid in the NCAA Tournament. The Roadrunners were assigned to the Austin Regional, which meant a rematch with the SEC regular-season champion Texas Longhorns was inevitable. The UTSA baseball team was determined to prove that its 8–7 upset of the Longhorns on March 18 was no fluke.
On Friday, May 31, night one of the regional, Norris McClure and James Taussig both hit home runs as UTSA hammered the Kansas State Wildcats by the score of 10–2, setting up a Saturday night matchup with Texas. The winner would of that game would advance to the regional final.
The Longhorns jumped to an early 6–1 lead on Saturday night to the joy of the sold-out home crowd at Austin’s UFCU Disch-Falk Field, but the resilient Roadrunners never relinquished. They notched four runs in the fifth inning, three more in the sixth inning and never looked back on their way to a sensational 9–7 victory.
UTSA and Texas faced off again the following night in the Austin Regional final, but the script went nothing like Saturday’s. The Roadrunners piled runs on the Longhorns early in the game and had amassed a 7–0 lead by the third inning. No comeback dramatics were needed. Seven runs were all the offensive production they would need as UTSA’s pitchers stifled Texas for most of the contest. Despite a late surge from the Longhorns, UTSA held on for a statement-making 7–4 win over the No. 2 team in the nation. Two days after celebrating its first-ever postseason win, UTSA Baseball was reveling in its first-ever NCAA regional championship.
Now, the Roadrunners are two wins away from achieving their goal and making the university’s first-ever appearance in the College World Series (the baseball equivalent of reaching the College Football Playoff or the Final Four in basketball). To get there, however, UTSA will have to contend with a talented UCLA squad that shared the regular-season championship of the Big Ten Conference with Oregon. The Bruins (45–16) pulverized the competition at the Los Angeles Regional, defeating Fresno State 19–4, Arizona State 11–5 and besting UC Irvine 8–5 in the regional final.
Roadrunner Nation is invited to show its school spirit and watch every pitch this weekend, whether they’re attending the series in Los Angeles in person, hitting up the Buffalo Wild Wings watch parties in San Antonio or watching at home. Here’s more information:
FOR NEARLY A quarter century, one of the most famous home run balls in baseball history sat on a shelf inside a case in Neil Dunleavy’s bedroom closet gathering dust. Every so often he would retrieve it and gaze with admiration: the gold lettering, the round black smudge where the bat struck it and the signature that had faded to the point that it was imperceptible to the naked eye, save for one clue: “#2.”
Dunleavy grew up on the outskirts of New York City, but he was raised at Yankee Stadium. His father, John, worked there as a vendor for 57 years. All three of John’s sons did the same, including Neil, who on Oct. 31, 2001, hopped in his car and drove the five hours from Georgetown University, where he was a sophomore, to the Bronx.
College had cut into the number of games Dunleavy could work, but he was not going to miss Game 4 of the 2001 World Series, forthcoming organic chemistry test be damned. Less than two months after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, the New York Yankees were trying to win their fourth consecutive World Series, and even if it meant selling $10 programs, Dunleavy simply wanted to be inside the stadium, to soak in the mystique and aura of the place and the moment.
As the clock neared midnight on Nov. 1, Derek Jeter stepped to the plate. Arizona Diamondbacks closer Byung-Hyun Kim was laboring. The Diamondbacks had won two of the first three games and were primed to take a commanding 3-1 series lead until Tino Martinez ambushed Kim for a ninth-inning home run that sent the game into extra innings. With two outs in the 10th, Jeter dug himself an 0-2 hole. He fought — ball, foul, foul, ball, ball, foul — before Kim’s 61st pitch of the game caught too much of the outside corner.
Jeter lofted the ball to the opposite field. It kept carrying and snuck over the fence just to the left of the 314-foot marker under the right-field foul pole, where Dunleavy happened to be standing. As a man to his right flipped over the railing and those to his left jumped with joy, Dunleavy pounced on the ball, securing it with his right arm amid the chaos.
The ball is a time machine to the heyday of the Yankees, baseball’s last great dynasty, and even more than that a relic of the career of The Captain. For all the indelible moments in his career — the Jeffrey Maier home run, the dive into the stands, the 3,000th-hit home run, the flip — the ball that gave Jeter the “Mr. November” nickname is perhaps the most iconic, a fact Dunleavy gladly shares with his three children.
“If someone mentions it,” Dunleavy said, “they’re like, ‘Oh, that’s the ball Daddy cares so much about.'”
Never has Dunleavy spoken publicly about the ball and how he came into its possession. In recent months, though, he decided to sell it, and with the auction ending June 14, he spoke with ESPN about that magical night — and how even if he’ll no longer have the physical memento of it, he’ll forever own something even more valuable.
“I’m selling the ball,” Dunleavy said. “I’m not selling the story.”
WHEN HE ARRIVED at Yankee Stadium on Halloween night, Dunleavy figured he would spend his evening at a merchandise stand with his father and brothers, selling hats and pennants and their best-selling item, shirseys with Jeter’s No. 2 on the back. The Yankees needed someone to peddle programs that night, though, and because he was the youngest, Dunleavy drew the short straw.
Hawking programs wasn’t the worst assignment. They cost $10, which meant Dunleavy wouldn’t need to fumble with change or prepare an item like hot dog vendors. Programs were a high-volume business. He got to meet cool people — Dunleavy said he gave programs to Adam Sandler and John Travolta gratis — and hand hundreds of people keepsakes of what he hoped would be a memorable night.
But by the 10th inning, Dunleavy was gassed. He had walked miles around the stadium lugging reams of programs. He knew Jeter was coming up to bat and asked a nearby security guard if he could park himself in the front of the right-field stands and count his money — just in case the game were to end there.
“Wouldn’t it be awesome if he hit a home run right to us now?” Dunleavy asked the security guard.
Dunleavy knew how Jeter operated. At 27, Jeter already had cemented his legacy with four World Series wins. His inside-out swing had won them plenty of games, including Game 1 of the 1996 American League Championship Series, when 12-year-old fan Jeffrey Maier pulled a ball over the right-field fence for a tying home run in the days before replay review. The Yankees went on to win their first World Series in nearly two decades.
“I’m in the right-field corner, and I know Yankees history, obviously,” Dunleavy said. “I know Jeffrey Maier, and I know why the guard who is standing next to me is there in the first place: to prevent Jeffrey Maier incidents from happening.”
Dunleavy reached into his apron and grabbed hundreds of bills, preparing to organize them, when he heard the crack of the bat. As Arizona right fielder Reggie Sanders tracked the ball, it was fading toward the corner — right at Dunleavy. He played baseball in high school and is certain he would have caught the ball if not for the wads of cash in his hands. It bounced to his left and caromed in front of Dunleavy. He dropped the cash and went for a different type of treasure.
He landed hard on the ball, bruising his ribs. He held it tight as others dove toward him hoping it would squirt free. The man who had gone inverted over the barricade, Jimmy Brunn, said: “It came right to me. My fingers were on it. And he pulled it away. There were about 50 people on top of us.”
When the pile receded, Dunleavy stood up, looked around and panicked. Not a single dollar remained on the ground. Maybe the ball would be worth more than the money he had procured that night, but his first thought was: “My dad’s going to kill me.” Then Dunleavy’s eyes gravitated toward a security guard, who, he said, had “a soccer-ball-sized wad of crumpled-up 20s and 10s.” When he counted the money, all $2,120 worth of programs he had sold was accounted for.
Dunleavy celebrated by standing on a security guard’s chair and holding the ball in the air, much to the delight of the fans still high off the win — including Brunn, who handed Dunleavy his business card and told him he wanted to buy the ball.
“The New York kid in me,” Dunleavy said, “realized, ‘OK, I just told 5,000 people I’ve got a very famous ball already. I better get the hell outta here.'”
On the walk back to his father’s stand, Dunleavy started thinking about what he wanted to do with the ball. He could sell it to Brunn or the highest bidder. He could keep it. Neither seemed right. Jeter had provided so many incredible moments for Yankees fans. This was Dunleavy’s opportunity to repay him.
“We all wanted to be Jeter,” Dunleavy said. “So I’m thinking, he hit it, I’m going to give it to him. And hopefully he’ll appreciate it.”
He returned to Yankee Stadium early the next day, ball in hand, and went to right field, where he posed for a photo with the ball. “I thought I was giving the ball away forever, that I’d never see it again,” Dunleavy said. He met with Joe Lee, a batboy he knew, and asked him to bring the ball to Jeter. He was hopeful that Jeter would emerge from the clubhouse, shake his hand, maybe even give him a signed ball or bat.
Lee returned without Jeter — and with a ball in his hand. Dunleavy noticed the black smudge. It was the Mr. November ball, only emblazoned with a faint signature, date (“11-1-01”) and the No. 2.
“Had I known I was going to get it back,” Dunleavy said, “I would’ve given him a better pen.”
DUNLEAVY RETURNED TO Georgetown and regaled his friends with the tale of the Mr. November ball. It became a go-to story at parties. His future wife, Annemarie, heard about the ball within the first 30 minutes of meeting Dunleavy.
The ball stayed at his parents’ house as he finished undergrad and remained there during his time in medical school. When Dunleavy moved into his own place during his residency in New York City, it joined him. It went to Chicago when work took him there and eventually back to Connecticut, where he settled and today works as an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in knees and shoulders.
Dunleavy, now 43, still loves the Yankees and baseball. It taught him how to do math, provided hours of entertainment pouring through Beckett Baseball Card Monthly, filled his early adulthood with memories of his dad and brothers.
“It just hit me,” Dunleavy said. “Time’s passing. I kind of thought maybe I’d give it to [my children] when I’m old and gray. One day, my wife and I are at home, looking at this ball. Literally the case is collecting dust in the closet. We’ve not, like, featured this prominently in our house because the kids could take it and throw it in the mud. I’m like, ‘You know, there’s got to be something better I can do with this.'”
Dunleavy’s daughters are 11 and 9, his son 5, and he acknowledges that “someday, of course, there is that chance that they’re like, ‘What did you do that for? We would’ve wanted it.’ But I don’t think so.” So he connected with the auction house Goldin, which sent it to the authentication company JSA. An analysis using a video spectral comparator clearly showed Jeter’s signature and the date, even after the ink faded, and the ball was deemed authentic. With a week left, the bidding was up to $110,000. Dunleavy said he plans to donate a portion of the proceeds to Jeter’s Turn 2 Foundation.
Even though the Yankees lost the World Series in heartbreaking fashion in 2001, it did nothing to lessen the meaning of that ball and that moment. The time around Sept. 11 was devastating, and baseball offered something around which the country could coalesce. Ten days after the Twin Towers fell, Mike Piazza’s go-ahead home run for the New York Mets brought a sliver of normalcy and hope. The Yankees represented the strength of New York and the game’s meaning to the city and country.
Those feelings, and not the ball itself, are what endure for Dunleavy, who all these years later wants to thank Jeter for his inadvertent influence on Dunleavy’s life.
“Please tell him I told this story to my wife and we are celebrating 17 years of marriage next week,” he said. “That changed my life, you know? And she says it didn’t [convince her to date him], but who the hell knows, right? Maybe it did. Maybe she saw my enthusiasm in telling a story and liked it.
“I owe this moment a lot. I have always been able to make everybody smile when I tell this story. I can tell this story to people who don’t care about baseball, don’t care about sports. No one can take the story away.”
The congressional leader of Colombia’s far-right Democratic Center party was the victim of an assassination attempt in the capital Bogota on Saturday.
Images of the incident showed bystanders holding Uribe, who was apparently shot in the head at a political rally.
The opposition leader, a protégé of former President Alvaro Uribe and the grandson of former President Julio Cesar Turbay, was taken to hospital for treatment.
The alleged assassin was arrested, said Bogota Mayor Carlos Fernando Galan.
Local media showed a video of a suspect who had been detained in the Fontibon district where the assassination attack took place around five in the afternoon. The director of the National Police, General Carlos Fernando Triana, said the detainee is a minor.
At the time of the assassination attempt, Uribe was campaigning to become the Democratic Center’s candidate in the 2026 presidential elections.
President Gustavo Petro rejected the assassination attempt and expressed his solidarity with the family of the Democratic Center’s senate chief.
Colombia should not kill its children, because they are also our children.
President Gustavo Petro
The Democratic Center said in an initial response that the assassination attempt “is an attack on democracy and freedom in Colombia.”
We energetically reject this attack that not only endangers the life of a political leader, but also is an attack on democracy and freedom in Colombia.
Democratic Center
Defense Minister Pedro Sanchez announced a $728 thousand (COP3 billion) reward for information that would lead to the identification and arrest of those behind the assassination attempt.
Sanchez confirmed the arrest of one suspect and said “we are verifying if more people are implicated.
“The investigation will not stop and we will get to the bottom of this,” said the defense minister.
Sanchez said he had ordered “the military and the National Police and the intelligence agencies to deploy all their capabilities to urgently clarify the facts.”
In the next few minutes, we will hold an extraordinary meeting with the military and police leadership to outline the strategy to address this situation.
Defense Minister Pedro Sanchez
The Democratic Center Senate leader has been one of the most vociferous opponents of President Gustavo Petro, Colombia’s first left-wing president in history.
Red Sox rookie Hunter Dobbins expressed his intense rivalry sentiment, stating he would rather retire than play for the Yankees, influenced by his father’s Red Sox fandom. As he prepares for his first game against the Yankees, Dobbins emphasizes his long-standing disdain for the team, noting that while growing up he avoided attachments to teams, except for the Red Sox and against the Yankees. He cites Dustin Pedroia as his favorite player and humorously declares that he dislikes all Yankees players except for Andy Pettitte due to his father’s friendship with the former pitcher. Dobbins’ competitive spirit is apparent as he looks ahead to the matchup, eager to make a strong debut.
By the Numbers
Dobbins is 25 years old and is making his rookie debut against the Yankees.
His father, Lance, was drafted twice by the Yankees before signing with the Diamondbacks.
State of Play
Dobbins’ first game against the Yankees is set for Sunday.
The Yankees and Red Sox rivalry remains one of the most significant in sports, adding pressure to Dobbins’ debut.
What’s Next
Dobbins will take the mound on Sunday, aiming for a strong performance to mark his entry into the storied rivalry, with expectations of setting personal bests in speed and effectiveness.
Bottom Line
Dobbins’ commitment to the Red Sox over the Yankees underscores the intensity of team loyalty in sports, highlighting the emotional stakes in one of MLB’s most famous rivalries.
