Ric Flair Helps Host Fundraiser For Senate Candidate Herschel Walker

Ric Flair will join a roster of other sports figures for a fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago for Herschel Walker.

Walker, the retired football star, is seeking the Republican nomination in the Georgia 2022 Senate contest against Democratic incumbent Raphael Warnock. Former President Trump will headline the event.

Flair, a wrestling legend, was listed as a member of Walker’s “honorary host committee” in an invitation for the event which circulated on Twitter.

The $1,000-a-head minimum event also listed on the invitation Doug Flutie, a quarterback who once played with Walker on the New Jersey Generals, and Former New York Mets and Atlanta Braves pitcher Tom Glavine.

A $25,000 donation to the fundraiser would earn a dinner and private reception with Walker and Trump.

Trump has rallied enthusiastically to Walker’s candidacy. “Herschel Walker is a friend, a patriot, and an outstanding American.”

Yankees Hold On To Beat Mets in Wild Game

If this is what the regular season Subway Series is like, then imagine what the Yankees vs Mets in the World Series could be!

“You’d like to think ahead a little bit, because of the pace they’re on and where we’re at, too,” Aaron Judge said, “but we got to get there first.”

Judge hit a 453-foot drive halfway up the bleachers for his major league-leading 48th home run and added an RBI single during a seventh-inning rally, boosting the New York Yankees past the Mets on Tuesday night for their second straight 4-2 win and a two-game sweep.

The Yankees turned a pair of sparkling 6-4-3 double plays, Andrew Benintendicame through with another big hit and rookie right fielder Oswaldo Cabrera made three key contributions. The go-ahead rally was boosted by a fluky popup that dropped for a single, and fans stood for nearly 20 minutes in the ninth inning anticipating the final out.

Francisco Lindor lofted Wandy Peralta’s changeup for a routine fly to center, stranding the bases loaded and ending as scintillating a regular-season game as you’ll see.

“We hope that we do the things it takes to get a chance to hopefully come back to this place,” Mets manager Buck Showalter said.
