GREINKE WINS AL CY YOUNG AWARD
Kansas City Royals right-handed pitcher Zack Greinke today was the overwhelming choice as the 2009 American League Cy Young Award winner in balloting by the Baseball Writers Association of America.

Mavericks send sold-out crowd home begging for more following shootout victory
The first Missouri Mavericks game was a sell out, a thriller and a moment in time most of us won't forget for a long whiel.
I didn't know what to expect when I arrived at the Independence Events Center, but I know that I liked what I saw - both on and off the ice.

Toriano found out about the death of his son while he was covering an assignment for The Examiner.
