BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — Killing endangered animals while logging a forest or building a dam would not be considered illegal unless the animals were specifically targeted, under a new interpretation of the Endangered Species Act by President Donald Trump's administration that marks a sea change in how the landmark environmental law is enforced.
A directive sent to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service employees this week says imperiled animals or plants must be intentionally targeted for their killing to be considered illegal.
That's a sharp turnaround from past practice at the wildlife service, which historically held people liable even for accidentally harming protected species such as grizzly bears, manatees and spotted owls.
Experts said the change would allow timber companies to log forests in the Pacific Northwest even if they knew that doing so could kill imperiled birds nesting in the trees, or for developers to build a dam knowing it would kill salmon.
"This cuts against the entire history of the Endangered Species Act," said Dan Ashe, who led the Fish and Wildlife Service under former President Barack Obama.

Travis Barker's vegan journey didn't start cleanly. He went to great lengths to hide his distaste for meat as a kid. That sometimes meant getting his hands dirty, literally.
"I had a very strict father growing up, and you had to eat everything on your plate before you left the dinner table," the Blink-182 drummer recently told People. "So I'd be there for hours sometimes – till I figured out I could hide all of the meat in my pockets."
Barker, 50, looked back on the confusing time in his life in the new interview, which touched on his campaign with the Humane World for Animals organization. It aims to promote "simple choices" to better the future of animals, including "eating more plant-based meals, choosing cruelty-free products, embracing animal-friendly fashion or adopting a shelter pet instead of buying one from a pet store," according to the nonprofit's website.

Steven Kolb apologized for physically restraining PETA activists during the COS runway show at New York Fashion Week
The protesters disrupted the show to highlight animal cruelty in the wool industry, calling for brands to stop using wool
PETA criticized Kolb's actions, while an activist announced that the organization plans to file a police report
A fashion executive is apologizing for his reaction to protesters crashing a New York Fashion Week show.
While models were walking the runway for the COS fall-winter 2026 collection in the WSA building on Sunday, Sept. 13, a group of animal activists from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) emerged holding signs and shouting against supporting the brand owned by Swedish retailer H&M, CNN, The New York Times and The Business of Fashion reported.

If you hold Pfizer (PFE) or Zoetis (ZTS), you hold the same idea: a branded medicine becomes a standard of care and keeps earning for years, in people or in animals. That is where it stops. Pfizer is buying replacements for older drugs losing exclusivity. Zoetis is cutting its effective price to keep the franchises it has. Same bet, two opposite defenses.
Pfizer lifted the midpoint of its 2026 revenue guidance by $500 million while cutting its COVID-19 revenue expectation to about $4 billion from about $5 billion. The rest of the company covered that gap: excluding COVID products, the underlying business grew 5% operationally in the second quarter of 2026, with Eliquis and Padcev among the drivers management named.
Zoetis cut its 2026 outlook and now expects revenue to decline 1% to 3% on an organic operational basis. Management said sales trends through July had not yet indicated market stabilization. Pfizer's raise rests on business it can already see. Zoetis has yet to see visibility on market stabilization.
Pfizer is buying growth and cutting cost, and expects about $9.7 billion in total net savings through 2029. What that funds is an aim, not a guide: a risk-adjusted high single-digit revenue CAGR from year-end 2028 through year-end 2033.
The pipeline behind that aim is expensive to get wrong. A Phase III lung cancer trial that missed its primary endpoint and, to a lesser extent, the removal of revenue projections for Oxbryta led to $4.3 billion of noncash intangible **** et impairments recorded in the second quarter of 2026. While an unadjusted price-to-EBIT comparison puts Pfizer at 23.9 against Zoetis at 9.2, aligning the two on operating income brings them to 9.7x and 9.0x, largely erasing the paying-up premium.

NEW YORK, Sept 5 (Reuters) - From podiums to practice courts and player lounges, dogs have become some of tennis's most popular support acts, increasingly earning places in the travelling party and popping up at ‌the sport's biggest stages.
For players who spend most of the year in airports, hotels and tournament venues often ‌thousands of miles from home, pets have become common travelling companions, offering comfort and stability in a sport where loneliness is a major challenge.
"Animals are amazing... that's why a lot of the girls are travelling with more pets now, because of how tough the life is on the road," world number three Jessica Pegula told reporters at the U.S. Open this week.
"To have something that grounds you, as simple as having a dog or any type of animal... you don't experience that type of love from anybody else. They love you unconditionally and that ‌can just really help emotionally."

Three attacks involving an animal that "displayed unusually aggressive behavior toward people," which can be ******* ociated with rabies, have been reported in New Hampshire, according to authorities. However, officials have yet to determine exactly what type of animal is ambushing the unsuspecting humans.
From Aug. 30-31, police received three reports of animal attacks in the same area of Lebanon, about 122 miles northwest of Boston, according to news releases from the Lebanon Police Department. The attacks seem to be unprovoked, and police believe the same animal is responsible.
Video shows the moment one person was attacked by the unknown animal. The wild animal is shown running from what appears to be a wooded area as the victim walks around a moving truck. The animal then goes after the person's legs in an unprovoked attack. It attacks the victim multiple times. The victim is seen flinging the animal away from them after it attacks their legs again, and then the animal returns to the wooded area.
The animal responsible for the attacks has not been identified, but witnesses say they believe the animal is either a gray fox or a fisher, a nocturnal mammal in the weasel family, according to Defenders of Wildlife. It is an elusive animal that lives in forests throughout the Northeast, the Pacific Northwest and the Great Lakes states.
It "reportedly displayed unusually aggressive behavior toward people," police said. This behavior is ******* ociated with animals that have contracted rabies, which can be lethal in humans if they do not seek medical attention before symptoms appear, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The people — and animals — in Georgia junior running back Nate Frazier's life are a crucial part of his journey and have taught him everything he knows.

"They've been here every step of the way," Frazier said.

As if dating weren't already enough of a gamble, a new trend has some men skipping their usual hygiene routines before meeting a prospective partner.
So-called "pheromone-maxxing" is a viral TikTok trend primarily **** ociated with teen boys and young men that involves skipping showers and deodorant before a date.
Some proponents go so far as to wear unwashed shirts or drink their own urine in an effort to "sweat out toxins," Vice reported.

Dolly Parton's legacy of kindness and giving is being celebrated in many ways around the world following her death. One new fundraiser is putting her spirit of generosity front and center for dog lovers, providing much-needed meals for shelter dogs.
iHeartDogs, a company dedicated to helping dogs around the world, is selling a line of pink Dolly-inspired T-shirts. Each shirt purchased from the Do Good Like Dolly Collection provides 10 meals for shelter dogs, with 100% of the remaining proceeds going to The Dollywood Foundation.
5 of the 8 shirts in the collection feature the names of two of Dolly Parton's most well-known songs: "I Will Always Love You" and "A Coat of Many Colors." The other 3 shirts honor the late country music icon with the campaign slogan "Do Good Like Dolly."
The campaign celebrates Dolly's endless spirit of giving by saying, "Dolly Parton filled the world with kindness, sparkle, and a whole lot of heart. Her love for others—and her love of dogs—made the world a brighter place." The shirts range in price from $15.99 to $21.99, and can be purchased through the iheartdogs.com website.
Dolly's love for animals wasn't just something that showed up in the occasional photo or song. In 2022, she launched Doggy Parton, a line of dog apparel, toys, and accessories inspired by her signature style. A portion of the proceeds benefited Willa B. Farms, a Nashville-based animal rescue organization.

Several baby goats at a mobile petting zoo in North Carolina were infected with rabies, and authorities are asking anyone who had contact with the animals to reach out to health officials. Rabies can be deadly if people don't receive treatment before symptoms begin.
Residents in western North Carolina may have had contact with the infected goats from Farm Adventures at the mobile petting zoo's location in Harmony or at off-site events between July 28 and August 27, local officials said in a statement.
Farm Adventures is based in Iredell County and books events in surrounding communities, and officials say the owner has been cooperating with the investigation.
"There is not a broad risk to the public — only those who attended events at the mobile petting zoo and were in close contact with the goats are at risk," officials said, asking residents to call their local health department for a rabies risk ***** sment and potential treatment.
"Residents should not wait for symptoms before calling," Mecklenburg County Health Director Dr. Kimberly Scott said.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are stepping into a quiet new chapter together. Following their wedding ceremony, the famous couple is prioritizing quality time and simple routines over grand public appearances. Fans are used to seeing them on world tours or at high-profile football games. However, their everyday routines in their newly married life have quietly shifted toward a peaceful one away from the spotlight.
According to a report by the Daily Mail, the pop star is fully enjoying her role as a new wife. Taylor Swift is focusing on simple daily pleasures and staying close to Travis Kelce. The latter is currently busy with NFL preseason preparations in Missouri. Rather than being separated by their demanding schedules, she plans to stay by her husband's side while he continues his football commitments.
Inside their home in Kansas City, the couple has settled into a comfortable rhythm focused on relaxation, warm meals, and family routines. Swift has been spending her quiet days learning Italian, enjoying white wine, and trying out new recipes. She often bakes bread from scratch and cooks delicious Italian dishes for dinner.
Their home is also graced with their beloved pets, including Swift's three cats and Kelce's Samoyed dog. The animals have all adapted seamlessly to living together under one roof, adding to the couple's quiet home environment.
In addition to home cooking, the newlyweds maintain a consistent fitness routine. Both stars understand that their careers demand peak physical condition, so they make daily exercise a shared activity. They regularly mix up their training with power walks, swimming, and weightlifting. Kelce has even been teaching his wife a few things on the golf course, sharing his love for the sport with her.

BEAVERCREEK, Ohio (AP) — A lip-licking alligator, a smiling moose and a hat-wearing bear are among the many cartoon animals to have found themselves in the crosshairs of Buc-ee's, the popular Texas convenience store chain that has a penchant for protecting its buck-toothed beaver.
But now Buc-ee's has set off a Buckeye backlash across Ohio and beyond after taking on a beaver in the city of Beavercreek.
It's yet another Buc-ee's Ltd. trademark infringement lawsuit. Supporters of Beaver's Mini Mart have attacked Buc-ee's online and boycotted the stores, and the mini mart's home city passed a resolution making the beaver an official part of its history. British comedian John Oliver has even weighed in on the kerfuffle.
On an episode of "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver," the comedian detailed Buc-ee's aggressive history of trademark lawsuits targeting various woodland creatures and launched a website hawking merchandise bearing a knockoff "Buc-off" logo and a squirrel mascot named Mr. Nutterbutter. On X, #boycottbucees trended.
Buc-ee's sued Beaver's Mini Mart in late July, four months after the chain known for its extensive food offerings and massive restrooms opened its first Ohio store less than a half-hour's drive away.

HILLSBORO, Ore. (AP) — Near the foyer of the new joint training facility for the WNBA's Portland Fire and the NWSL's Portland Thorns is an expansive set of lighted shelves enclosed by glass.
It's the trophy case, "soon to be filled," said Lisa Bhathal Merage, who owns both teams with her brother Alex Bhathal.
The $150 million performance center is the first purpose-built for a pair of professional women's teams in different sports. The official ribbon-cutting is Saturday, but the teams got a look at the luxe facility earlier in the week.
The 12-acre campus includes two full-sized outdoor soccer fields and a 17,000-square-foot gymnasium that houses a pair of basketball courts, along with a weight room, locker rooms for both teams and conference rooms.
But the details make the facility unique. There are two nursing and changing rooms for players who are parents, and even a nursery fully stocked with toys and stuffed animals.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump announced Friday that his administration will allow more beef to be temporarily imported into the U.S. without triggering higher tariffs, as he remains under pressure to cut costs and address affordability issues ahead of November's midterms.
Beef prices have climbed to record highs amid a sharp drop in the number of U.S. cattle, consistent consumer demand and limits on cattle from Mexico, where the animals are facing a flesh-eating pest. The U.S. president has also imposed 50% tariffs on Brazil, a major beef exporter.
The president's plan, however, drew immediate skepticism from agricultural experts and backlash from cattle ranchers and conservative rural-state Republicans. Ranchers, normally some of the president's biggest supporters, are enjoying some rare profitable years and worry cheap beef imports will reduce cattle prices — and with it, the incentive to increase herd sizes.
"We all want lower grocery prices, but as I've said for months, we cannot do it at the expense of American producers," Sen. Deb Fischer, R-Neb., said in a statement. "Flooding the market with foreign beef hurts our livestock industry and undermines the long-term solution: growing the U.S. cattle herd to meet demand."
Sen. Tim Sheehy, R-Mont., said in a social media post just hours after Trump's announcement that the president's "heart is in the right place," but importing beef will "harm our ranching families who feed the nation."

Hayden Panettiere's final PETA ad has been released, just days after her sudden death. The campaign, filmed only two weeks before she passed away, shows the actor confined to a bathtub to protest marine parks like SeaWorld. The campaign video now stands as a lasting tribute to her animal rights advocacy. PETA shared the ad on August 18, confirming the shoot took place shortly before Panettiere died at age 36.
The PETA ad has Panettiere making an emotional plea for dolphins and orcas held in captivity. She speaks directly to viewers while lying in a bathtub, visually representing the cramped tanks marine mammals endure at entertainment parks. "Can you imagine their frustration, their trauma, their depression? All that is important and crucial for their well-being is ripped away … We can end this. You and me," Panettiere says in the clip.
She continues describing what ocean life offers these animals: family bonds, deep dives to escape heat, and rain on their backs. All of that disappears when they are placed in small tanks. The campaign also includes a photo ad featuring Panettiere in the bathtub. Behind-the-scenes from that shoot are also featured in the released video.
PETA accompanied the video with a statement honoring her commitment. "Hayden Panettiere became a household name playing a hero on TV, but in real life she was a hero to animals," the organization wrote. They urged supporters to honor her memory by refusing to buy tickets to marine parks.
Panettiere's father, Skip Panettiere, confirmed his daughter's passing on Sunday. Authorities reported no signs of foul play. The actor left behind a career spanning television, film, and video games, along with a legacy of vocal animal advocacy that this final PETA ad now preserves.

Just weeks before her tragic death at the age of 36, Hayden Panettiere was using her voice to fight for a cause that had been close to her heart for almost two decades.
The Heroes and Nashville actress filmed a powerful campaign for animal rights organization PETA calling for an end to keeping dolphins in captivity, with the organization releasing the poignant footage following her death on Sunday, August 16.
Hayden's representative confirmed her death to **** O!, with her family remembering her as "an incredible light and a force of nature who brought immeasurable love and joy to all who knew her". Her cause of death has not yet been determined and the investigation remains ongoing.
Hayden was a passionate activist for animal rights (@ Instagram)
Now, PETA has revealed one of the actress's final projects, describing the campaign as her "last act of kindness" and paying tribute to a woman whose commitment to protecting animals stretched back to her teenage years.

Worlds collided last month when the Tennessee ******* ans sideline mascot T-Rac hit it off with a real-life raccoon while on set photographing his new look.
Nashville's National Football League team first unveiled its new logo, uniform, and official colors in spring 2026, and a few months later, T-Rac's rebrand came. Instead of brown fur and bright blue eyes, he now has more realistic gray fur and a friendlier gaze. As part of the promo photoshoot that took place in July, the ******* ans extended an invite to Gizzard, one of the raccoons at Nashville-based wildlife rescue Vermin Sanctuary.
"Obviously she took the ******* ignment very seriously," Vermin Sanctuary founder Kara Kirkland said in a social media post. "Raccoons are Tennessee's state wild animal, and getting to pair Gizzard with a character that so many Tennesseans already know and love is such a special opportunity to get people excited about our native wildlife. We want people to learn how to peacefully coexist with their wild neighbors, what to do if they find a critter that might need help, and why the wild should remain in the wild."
Kirkland started the nonprofit rescue during the COVID-19 pandemic with the goal of taking in injured or orphaned animals, rehabilitating them, and releasing them back into nature in the proper manner. She specializes in raccoons, opossums, and other "misunderstood species," and since the start, she's saved dozens of animals across Tennessee.
Gizzard, T-Rac's newest friend, is working as an educational ambassador for the nonprofit, raising awareness about what to do if you encounter a wild animal that may need help.

DAKAR, Aug 11 (Reuters) - The ongoing Ebola outbreak in Democratic Republic of Congo concerns a previously unseen ‌variant of the rare Bundibugyo species of the virus, ‌indicating it stemmed from a new transmission from animals to humans rather than from variants linked to earlier outbreaks, a new study said.
• Researchers from Congo, Uganda, Belgium and other countries ******* ysed the genetic make-up of virus samples from 22 patients in Congo ‌and Uganda and ⁠found the outbreak strain was genetically distinct from previous Bundibugyo Ebola viruses seen in outbreaks in ⁠2007 and 2012.
• The findings, published on Monday in the journal Nature Medicine, suggest the outbreak began with a fresh animal-to-human transmission event and was then spread between people.
• The study did ‌not identify the animal source of the outbreak, but Ebola viruses are known to spill over periodically from infected animals to humans.
• The genetic ******* ysis helped confirm that cases detected in Uganda were linked to the outbreak in Congo.

Brown Advisory, an investment management company, released its "Brown Advisory Global Leaders Strategy" for the second quarter of 2026 investor letter. A copy of the letter can be downloaded here. Brown Advisory's Global Leaders Strategy delivered a net return of 4.6% in the second quarter of 2026, underperforming its benchmark, the MSCI ACWI Net Index, which returned 14.9%. The relative weakness was driven mainly by underexposure to semiconductors and technology hardware, while software, cloud services, and financial holdings also weighed on performance. The strategy benefited from holdings in areas tied to AI infrastructure, with semiconductor exposure and AI-related investments gaining from strong demand. Looking ahead, Brown Advisory sees an attractive environment for active stock-picking, with its ready-to-buy list at its highest level since the COVID-19 period and an estimated 12%-13% average five-year base-case IRR, while maintaining a focus on quality, valuation discipline, and long-term cash-flow generation. In addition, please check the Fund's top five holdings to know its best picks in 2026.
In its second-quarter 2026 investor letter, Brown Advisory Global Leaders Strategy Fund highlighted stocks like Zoetis Inc. (NYSE:ZTS). Zoetis Inc. (NYSE:ZTS) is a global animal health company developing medicines, vaccines, and diagnostic products for livestock and companion animals. The one-month return of Zoetis Inc. (NYSE:ZTS) was -3.62% while its shares traded between $71.47 and $160.48 over the last 52 weeks. On August 7, 2026, Zoetis Inc. (NYSE:ZTS) stock closed at approximately $77.27 per share, with a market capitalization of about $30.02 billion.
Brown Advisory Global Leaders Strategy Fund stated the following regarding Zoetis Inc. (NYSE:ZTS) in its Q2 2026 investor letter:
We exited Zoetis Inc. (NYSE:ZTS) in May. We were attracted to the investment due to its position as the largest pure-play animal health company, benefiting from significant scale in R&D and as the highest-quality marketer to veterinarians and livestock producers, which increases switching costs. The company had further shifted its business mix meaningfully toward a higher and more profitable contribution from its companion animal segment. Our investment in Zoetis began to face increased growth headwinds in 2025 due to incremental competition in its industry-leading dermatology and Simparica Trio products. Additionally, the launch of Librela—the first available therapy for osteoarthritis pain in dogs—underperformed our expectations. Furthermore, we have observed increased competition across Zoetis's main franchises and, most recently, Zoetis also saw generic competition in therapeutic categories. Several concerns have emerged: (1) despite the high barriers to entry in animal health, competition in the sector has intensified during our ownership; (2) we do not have enough visibility on their pipeline to ***** s the path of future contribution at this point; and (3) we

"Taylor and Travis are doing great. Ironically, it's the animals having the hardest time blending their families. The humans figured it out much faster," one source told Shuter.

Linda Blair says her dog rescue remains under control after authorities found 251 animals at her Southern California property. The Exorcist star maintains that paperwork and permit issues, not the dogs' welfare, triggered the investigation. Officials found no signs that the animals were sick or injured. However, the county's review remains active as neighbors question the number of dogs housed at the facility.
Authorities served an investigative warrant at Blair's 2.5-acre property after the kennel's permits reportedly expired in 2023, TMZ reported. The Los Angeles County Department of Regional Planning said officials had made 24 attempts to arrange inspections over three years.
Officials counted 251 dogs while checking structures and possible code violations. Law enforcement told the outlet that "no dogs showed signs of illness or injury," and authorities did not remove any animals.
Blair addressed the search in a Facebook video. "I am fine, the animals are fine," she said, describing the dispute as a matter involving paperwork and updated property diagrams. She also said she had been trying to relocate so she could expand her rescue work.
The new information follows an earlier search of Blair's property, which initially focused on a kennel believed to house more than 100 dogs. The latest count more than doubled that estimate.

Linda Blair is speaking out after authorities searched her Southern California property as part of an investigation into a reported kennel operation housing more than 100 dogs.
The 67-year-old actress, best known for starring in "The Exorcist," addressed the search in an Instagram post on July 31, saying she and the animals on the property were "good" following what she described as a surprise visit.
"Turns out we just have some paperwork to do and some diagrams," Blair wrote. "But as everybody knows, I'm looking to move so I can be more educational and help more animals."
Blair also suggested county officials should have contacted her by mail, writing that "a good old-fashioned letter of contact always works." In a video accompanying the post, she said she has been trying to relocate for the past two years to expand her animal rescue efforts and emphasized that the animals on the property were safe.
The search was conducted under an inspection warrant as part of a joint operation involving the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control and the Los Angeles County Department of Regional Planning, according to reports from People and Fox 8.

Growing up in the heart of Los Angeles, Zoey Deutch was surrounded by the entertainment industry from an early age, but she has worked hard to establish an identity built on her own talent rather than her family's legacy. With a natural screen presence, sharp comedic timing, and an increasingly diverse filmography, Deutch has emerged as one of Hollywood's most versatile actresses. From independent dramas to romantic comedies and major studio productions, she has consistently demonstrated an ability to move effortlessly between genres while maintaining a distinctive charm that resonates with audiences.
Born into a family deeply connected to film and television, Deutch is the daughter of actress Lea Thompson and director Howard Deutch, while her sister, Madelyn Deutch, has also built a successful career as an actress and writer. Despite these influences, Zoey has always embraced her own creative path. Proud of her Southern California roots, she often speaks fondly of growing up in the San Fernando Valley and appreciates the unique experience of living and working in the same city. Her upbringing extended beyond film sets, however. Surrounded by a wide variety of family pets, she developed an appreciation for animals that she believes helped shape her empathy and understanding of different personalities. Years of training in ballet, jazz, tap, modern dance, and hip-hop also instilled discipline, physical awareness, and confidence that later translated naturally into her performances on screen.
Away from acting, Deutch is known for her enthusiasm for food and cooking. She enjoys experimenting with new flavors and recipes and has often spoken about the pleasure she finds in preparing meals for family and friends. Dinner, in particular, holds a special place in her routine, offering an opportunity to slow down, enjoy meaningful conversations, and connect with the people around her. Whether taking on the challenge of cooking a full holiday feast for the first time or discovering unexpected flavor combinations, she approaches food with the same curiosity and enthusiasm that she brings to her creative work.
Although Deutch is open about many of her interests, she also values maintaining a sense of privacy. She prefers allowing audiences to interpret her films for themselves rather than explaining exactly what they should take away from a performance. This thoughtful approach reflects her broader philosophy of letting the work speak for itself. As her career continues to evolve, Zoey Deutch has established herself as far more than Hollywood royalty by **** ociation. Through dedication, versatility, and an authentic passion for storytelling, she continues to earn recognition on her own merits while building a career that promises to remain one of the most exciting of her generation.

UFC star Jon Jones posted a video of him killing a pig in 2021 and that led allegedly to a long message from Formula 1 legend Lewis Hamilton.
Jones was living life after vacating his UFC light heavyweight ***** le at the time — and bulking up to eventually move to heavyweight — when he went on a helicopter ride to shoot at pigs alongside former rangers. Hamilton, who had just won just 7th world championship in Formula 1 months prior, apparently didn't like it.
"I went hunting years ago with bunch of army rangers, and we ended up hunting pigs from a helicopter from using AR-15s," Jones said in an interview with ALF Global. "I was so proud of myself 'cause I killed one of the pigs from the helicopter. My pig was donated to an underprivileged family in the community."
"But Lewis saw me shoot the pig from a helicopter," he continued. "He wrote me a long message saying that I was a coward, and that he thought that I was better than that. He said that the traditional way of killing animals should be with a spear or a bow and arrow. And he was saying like, only a coward would shoot an animal from an helicopter, to give the animal a chance to fight you back, at least."

Whenever anyone asked me what my dream job is, I always had the same answer: I want to create content that resonates with people. It is truly an honor and a privilege to step into the site producer position at Pinstripe Alley, and I cannot wait to build connections with fans of my favorite team across all professional sports.
The New York Yankees fandom was first introduced to me by my grandfather, who grew up in the Bronx after immigrating from Germany. Whenever my sister and I visited my grandparents' house, my grandmother would always show off her vast collection of glass animals and trinkets from her travels around the world while my grandfather sat in the same spot on his couch, always with a pipe in hand, and watched his Bronx Bombers perform their magic. As I watched him pay close attention to every pitch and carefully ****** yze every swing, I realized that it wasn't just a sport he was watching. It was a beautiful human expression of finesse, endurance, and patience.
I was quickly enthralled with the art of baseball, despite the games typically lasting over three hours. Whenever my parents took me to a game at one of the most iconic stadiums in the country, I was always asking questions and cheering for Brett Gardner, Nick Swisher, or dancing to Derek Jeter's 2009 walk-up song (Empire State of Mind, for those who don't remember). After watching the Bombers win two World Series during my childhood, I knew I was locked in for life.
I continued to pursue an interest in sports throughout my education, and majored in journalism and mass communication at the University of Wisconsin. During my time as a Badger, I also earned a certificate in sports communication, which was an incredible opportunity to immerse myself in sports media. Instead of relaxing under the sun, my summers were spent writing articles as an intern at the New York Post sports department under fluorescent lights, or at the Yankees clubhouse until 1 a.m.
Since graduation, pursuing my passion for sports media has taken me to many amazing new places. Learning more about the nuances of baseball, however, has been the most rewarding. It has allowed me to develop professionally and form new connections, colleagues, and friends that I'm sure will last a lifetime.
