KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — In a startling scene, Cleveland Indians pitcher Trevor Bauer suddenly heaved the ball from just past the mound over the center field wall while being taken out of the game in a 9-6 loss to the Kansas City Royals.

But he did apologize for the precarious situation it left the Chiefs in this past offseason.

ATLANTA (AP) — Following a 17-year career with the Kansas City Chiefs and Atlanta Falcons, Tony Gonzalez is set to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He has the second most catches in NFL history, behind Jerry Rice. Gonzalez helped revolutionize the tight end position.
