Jazz Chisholm Jr. was Public Enemy No. 1 in Kansas City on Wednesday.The New York Yankees star infielder gave the Royals some bulletin board material earlier this week when he called them “lucky” for winning Game 2 of the ALDS.Ultimately, there wasn’t enough motivation for the Royals, as they lost Game 3 on Wednesday, but beforehand, the fans let their voices be heard.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMAs Chisholm was introduced pregame, the boos were extremely loud, and Chisholm didn’t mind it one bit.In fact, he mouthed, “I love it. I love it.”Chisholm was asked about the boos after the Yanks’ 3-2 win, and he clearly was unphased.”I ain’t never seen nobody boo a bum,” the one-time All-Star said.”That’s good for the playoffs, to have a little bit of that,” added manager Aaron Boone. “Made for a little better environment.” FRANCISCO LINDOR’S GRAND SLAM LIFTS METS INTO NLCS AS MAGICAL RIDE CONTINUESEven after a Royals player posted on X to not “celebrate too early”, Chisholm replied that he wanted to “speak this s— into existence.”Chisholm was confident that the Royals “got lucky” after the Yankees hit into some tough luck outs in Game 2 – however, he did go 0-for-4 in the Yanks’ 3-2 win on Wednesday.The Yankees were carried by Giancarlo Stanton on Wednesday, who drove in two runs, including the game-winner. The slugger blasted a towering solo home run in the eighth inning that put the Yankees up for good, and Luke Weaver recorded the five-out save.Game 4 is Thursday night in Kauffman Stadium, where, after an 0-for-4 night for Chisholm, combined with being one loss away from elimination, the Royals fans will surely be loud once more.Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Hurricane Milton made landfall as a Category 3 storm with 120 mph winds on Wednesday near Siesta Key, Florida, slamming into the state’s west coast before churning its way eastward.During an appearance on Fox Weather, St. Lucie County Sheriff Keith Pearson confirmed there have been 17 tornadoes along with several fatalities. “We can confirm 17 tornadoes hit St. Lucie County, Florida, with multiple fatalities, a rescue mission ongoing, and hundreds of homes destroyed,” he said.The catastrophic landfall comes barely two weeks after Hurricane Helene, which battered Florida before causing devastation in North Carolina. Florida residents have spent the interim boarding up windows and evacuating their homes in preparation for Milton.”Milton has the potential to be one of the most destructive hurricanes on record for west-central Florida,” the National Hurricane Center said Wednesday.FEMA HEAD DENIES AGENCY IS SHORT ON MONEY FOR DISASTER RELIEF BECAUSE FUNDS WENT TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTSThe storm is expected to pass over central Florida and into the Atlantic through Wednesday night and into Thursday morning. As of 11 p.m., power was out for 1.8 million customers, with roughly 300,000 customers losing power in one hour.Milton poses a threat of a historically deep storm surge, as well as wind gusts well over 100 mph over the next 36 hours. Storm surge forecasts along the central western coast are predicting 10 to 15 feet of water topped with devastating waves driven by hurricane-force winds, according to FOX Weather.HURRICANE MILTON LEADS TO CRUISE SHIP PASSENGERS BEING AIRLIFTED TO SAFETY”Yes, you might have ‘been through hurricanes before,'” FOX Weather Hurricane Specialist Bryan Norcross said. “But you weren’t through the 1921 storm that put water over much of Pinellas County, or the 1848 hurricane that put 15 feet of Gulf water where downtown Tampa is today.”Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has activated thousands of National Guard members who are standing by to conduct search and rescue following the storm. President Biden’s administration has also pre-deployed resources and hundreds of personnel.Biden declared Florida a disaster area ahead of Milton’s landfall to facilitate FEMA’s preparations and response.RYAN SERHANT WARNS FLORIDA’S INSURANCE MESS IS ‘ONE OF THE GREATEST CRISES PEOPLE WILL SEE’The National Hurricane Center in Miami warned early Wednesday evening that the northern eyewall of Hurricane Milton had started to spread onshore along the Florida Gulf Coast, and told residents to “shelter in place as these extremely dangerous hurricane-force winds overspread the region.”Public Safety Information Manager for Florida’s Incident Support Team James Lucas warned that weather conditions will prevent rescuers from saving lives as Hurricane Milton makes landfall and wallops the state.”Weather conditions will deteriorate so rapidly that rescue workers cannot get in,” Lucas told Fox News Digital’s Gabriele Regalbuto. “That means that law enforcement officers are not going to be able to respond to any emergencies … as the storm is pushing through at 100 mph.”Lucas said the life safety of first responders and citizens is paramount.”We’re not going to be able to make it into those affected areas during the storm,” Lucas said. “That’s why the Mayor of Tampa, the Governor of Florida is asking people in those areas to evacuate.”

Giancarlo Stanton has established himself as one of the New York Yankees’ best postseason hitters in modern history. With a game-winning home run against the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday night, Stanton helped lift the Yankees to a 2-1 series lead in American League Division Series. Stanton also lifted himself into an exclusive postseason hitting category with the franchise’s most iconic player. Stanton’s solo home run in the eighth inning that gave the Yankees a 3-2 lead marked his 12th career postseason homer, in just 108 at-bats. That gave Stanton a career postseason at-bat per home run ratio of 9.4. It is the second-best in MLB history, just below Yankees legend Babe Ruth who has the best ratio at 8.6. Stanton and Ruth are the only two players with a ratio lower than 10. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM”It’s the biggest moments, you got to be ready for it, you got to want it,” Stanton said after the game about how he has hit so well in the playoffs. “You’re not always going to be successful, but you can’t be shocked in the big moments.”However, all of Ruth’s postseason homers occurred in the World Series, as it was the only postseason series when he played in the 1920s and 30s. All of Stanton’s postseason home runs have come in earlier rounds, as the Yankees haven’t reached the World Series yet with him on the team. FRANCISCO LINDOR’S GRAND SLAM VS. PHILLIES LIFTS METS INTO NLCSStanton finished the game with three hits, two RBI a run scored and even a rare stolen base. When Stanton stole second base in the sixth inning, it marked his first stolen base of the season and his first since August of 2020. “He wasn’t holding me on, and he was slow to the plate,” Stanton said of how he stole the base off of Royals pitcher John Schreiber. Meanwhile, fellow Yankees star slugger and captain Aaron Judge finished the game 0-for-4 with a strikeout to bring his 2024 postseason batting average down to .091. Judge now owns the worst strikeout rate in MLB postseason history with 34.3%. Now, with a 2-1 series lead, the Yankees are just one win away from eliminating Kansas City and advancing to the American League Championship Series. New York’s ace pitcher Gerrit Cole is set to take the mound in Game 4 on Thursday as the Yankees will look to close out the series without having to return home to play Game 5. If the Yankees do end up winning on Thursday, they will have home-field advantage in the championship series for the first time since 2012. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Dan Campbell has experienced his share of memorable moments during more than three years as the Detroit Lions’ head coach This week, Campbell recalled a lighthearted moment when he was on the receiving end of a couple of punches from a Lions player. Three-time Pro Bowl offensive lineman Frank Ragnow missed the Lions’ recent game against the Seattle Seahawks due to an injury.The Lions entered their bye week after a 42-29 win over the Seahawks, giving Ragnow more time to recover from a partially torn pectoral.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMDespite the team’s decision to sit him for the game, Ragnow appeared anxious to suit up. Campbell revealed the offensive lineman’s enthusiasm resulted in some punches being thrown.SEAHAWKS’ MIKE MACDONALD AFTER FIRST LOSS: ‘WE’RE NOT THE TEAM WE WANT TO BE YET’Campbell said he was punched one day when he was at the Lions’ headquarters in Allen Park, Michigan.”Someone punches me against the wall, then I get punched again. And I realize that it’s Frank trying to show me that his pec is great,” Campbell said via Detroit sports radio 97.1 The Ticket. “That’s his way of telling me, ‘Look how strong I am. It’s good.'”Campbell seemed to take the hits in stride. He is credited with transforming the Lions’ locker room during his time as the head coach. Campbell’s time as an NFL player seems to have helped him develop strong relationships with many of the Lions’ players.After finishing with just three wins in Campbell’s first year in Detroit, the Lions went 9-8 in 2022. Last season proved to be a memorable one for Detroit. The Lions won 12 regular season games and advanced to the NFC championship game for the first time since 1991.While the Lions’ storybook season ended in January in a 34-31 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, Campbell helped breathe new life into the franchise.This year, the Lions entered the season with expectations to compete for a championship. In January, the team’s title hopes received a boost when offensive coordinator Ben Johnson decided to end his pursuit of head coaching opportunities and return to Detroit. The 38-year-old assistant coach was the architect of one of the best offenses in the NFL in 2023. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
