Over a decade later, one of the most shocking moves in NBA history still requires a lot of brain power to process. Kevin Durant's decision to leave the Oklahoma City Thunder for the Golden State Warriors in 2016 is one of those history-altering events whose ripple effects can still be felt today.
After giving up a 3-1 series lead in the 2016 Western Conference Finals, Durant joined the arch-rivals to team up with Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green. That quartet of first-ballot Hall-of-Famers made the following couple of years skippable as they cruised their way to back-to-back NBA championships.
You know the story by now. The Thunder went all in to keep Durant. And despite their organizational pleas and pitches, it wasn't enough to convince the NBA superstar to stick around and run it back. His exit took a decade to get over as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander helped heal the scars with a Larry O'Brien trophy in 2025.
In one of an endless supply of perspectives on Durant's decision, Dion Waiters weighed in with his two cents. He appeared on the 'Real Talk with MJ' podcast in Oct. 2024 to reflect on his exit and how it affected the role player's next move as he signed a last-resort one-year deal with the Miami Heat in the aftermath.
"We was in the WCF up 3-1 against Golden State. Tricked it off, bro. We're supposed to went to the Finals against Cleveland," Waiters said. "I feel like we would've beaten Cleveland. We just messed up at the right time, bro."

The 2026 LVMH Prize took place at the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris this week, where Belgian designer Julie Kegels was named the winner, receiving €400,000 and a year of mentorship from LVMH experts. Jennifer Lawrence presented Kegels with the award, while Priyanka Chopra was also among the guests.
Both wore Dior, but their looks could not have been more different.

While we do tend to struggle with some of Jennifer Lawrence's choices in Jonathan Anderson's Dior, with the Die My Love Rome Film Festival premiere serving as an example, this suit is endlessly chic.
Some might feel it is very Monica Bellucci-coded, but I would not regard that as a bad thing. Between the sculpted jacket and wide-leg trousers, this is the epitome of a Dior woman, and Jennifer wears it effortlessly.

Dolly Parton's younger sister admitted it's been difficult for the legendary singer's family to deal with what she called "endless garbage" being posted online since the icon's death.
Stella Parton, 77, took to Instagram to thank members of the public offering what she described as "genuine" support for the family:
As most of you who follow my accounts know, I'm an early riser, so here goes during my coffee hour.
First let me say, thank you to the ones of you who have shown "genuine" support and love during this time of our family bereavement.
We will be okay in time but each of us will grieve in our own personal way.

Dolly Parton's sister Stella Parton is condemning the deluge of misinformation being spread in the wake of the country star's death.
The younger Parton, 77, took time from her morning "coffee hour" Friday, Sept. 4, to express how such online negativity has taken an emotional toll on her family as they continue grieving the "I Will Always Love You" singer, who died Aug. 25 at age 80.
In a two-slide statement on Instagram, Stella Parton first thanked the "genuine" supporters who have been kind and respectful during the Parton family's bereavement, then addressed the bad-faith social media users who have been anything but considerate.
"Sadly, because of the way our lives have been lived in front of the public, we have no choice but to be subjected to incredible pressure and insensitivity from strangers," she wrote. "There is a tremendous amount of AI and endless garbage being posted everyday and it's been challenging to absorb and or ignore."

Jennifer Aniston is grateful for her friends, especially one in particular.
A week after Dolly Parton died following a brief battle with cancer, the Friends actress shared the incomparable advice she received from the "dear friend of all of ours," who she worked with on the 2018 movie Dumplin'.
"One of her many, many, many, many incredible quotes, and they're endless," Jennifer said during an event at the 92nd Street Y in New York City Sept. 2, according to Us Weekly, "she would say, 'I chased a few rainbows and I caught some.'"
So, the 57-year-old repeated the advice, telling the audience, "Go chase your dreams and go catch some rainbows. You'll catch a few. [Dolly] did that, for sure."

The 2026 summer transfer window closed this Tuesday in Europe. Several last-gasp deals were made official... or collapsed late last night or overnight, while we were all already asleep.
OneFootball brings you a recap of the major announcements from the night:
- Double thunderbolt for Monaco! Lamine Camara will ultimately not be joining Chelsea, just as Folarin Balogun will not be signing for Everton either! AS Monaco cancelled the deal for the Senegal international just when they thought they had finally managed to sell their American striker. Chelsea are furious, and the Monégasques have just waved goodbye to around €100 million. (Fabrizio Romano, RMC, Foot Mercato)
- After an endless saga and absurd twists and turns, Malick Fofana has finally signed for Sunderland. The transfer fee is estimated at €35 million including bonuses.
- Quinten Timber has left OM for Crystal Palace in a deal estimated at €20 million.

MOSCOW, Aug 31 (Reuters) - Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi told Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday that the war in Ukraine needed to end for humanity's sake and that New Delhi would support every peace effort to stop the fighting.
Modi, who made his comments at the start of talks with Putin in the Kyrgyz capital Bishkek, called Putin "my friend" and hailed growing economic ties between the two countries which he said were guided by the need to put the interests of both nations above all else.
India, along with China, is one of the biggest buyers of Russian oil, which has helped Moscow replenish its budget since it sent tens of thousands of troops into Ukraine in 2022 and was hit with sweeping Western sanctions.
"As you are aware, India supports all peace efforts in this regard, and we shall continue to do so in the future," Modi told Putin on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit, according to a Kremlin transcript of their exchange.
"Every day that the war continues, humanity is, in effect, set back a step, whilst every step towards peace gives all of humanity real hope for peace. We need to move from endless war to an end to the war, to a cessation of hostilities. And we will need to move precisely in this direction," said Modi who has said before that he wants a peace settlement for Ukraine.

Chelsea set a record low in yesterday's high-scoring 4-3 win over Brighton & Hove Albion, possessing the ball just 25 per cent of the time. Apparently, it's our lowest recorded possession stat in a Premier League game, since such things started to be counted in 2003-04.
Opta's one-word tag at the end of their tweet was "methodology", which might imply that this will be a common thing for the Blues under Xabi Alonso. We lost the possession battle last Monday, too, against Fulham, though that was a bit more even, at a roughly 40-60 split. But Alonso disagrees with the notion that this is part of any sort of overriding tactical approach. Instead, it's just one of the tools in our shed (end), ready to be deployed when the game, or situations in a game, call for it.
The overriding philosophy instead is one that harkens back to the previous era of Chelsea Football Club.
"I want to win, whatever it takes to win and each game can be different so we need to prepare for the best, we need to train for the best and be prepared for whatever scenario we have."
In an age when practically every top team wants to play possession-based high-pressing football that struggles against compact low blocks with endlessly boring u-shape passing around the box, it's been quite refreshing to see Chelsea go more direct. Turns out, you can pass forward whenever you want! And you probably should! And you also don't need to play it short from a goal kick either just to invite all the pressure; you can simply bypass all that and boot it up to your complete striker to knock it down or create for himself. Football doesn't have to be complicated: if you can be faster and stronger than the other guy, you already have an advantage.

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.

The professional golf world loses a fierce competitor this weekend. Anna Nordqvist, the three-time major champion, has officially announced her retirement. She will walk inside the ropes for the last time at the FM Championship in Boston. This decision marks the end of a nearly two-decade journey on the LPGA Tour. The 39-year-old Swede made the news public on Wednesday, confirming she will not return to competition after this event. Her final tournament serves as a bookend to a career that started with a simple dream and two suitcases. Fans and fellow players now look back at a legacy built on consistency and grit.
Nordqvist confirmed the news through her own channels before it hit the wider media. According to ESPN Golf, the announcement came on Wednesday, setting the stage for her final competitive week. The outlet reported that she will retire as a player immediately following this weekend's FM Championship. This specific event in Boston becomes the closing chapter of her playing days. The Swede's last major ******* le and final LPGA victory occurred at the Women's British Open in 2021. Since then, she has navigated a challenging path to reclaim her form. Currently ranked 118th in the world, her career earnings stand at more than $14 million, a testament to her longevity. She secured nine wins on the LPGA Tour during her tenure.
Golf Monthly reported that Nordqvist shared a video on her Instagram page showing career highlights while reading her letter. In that video, she explained her reasoning with clarity.
Even as a player, her role in the sport remains significant. Nordqvist is set to captain Team Europe as they play the United States in next month's Solheim Cup. The event takes place in Bernardus, Netherlands. Her record as a player in the team competition stands at 17-15-3. She had previously stated that taking the captaincy job meant she wanted to complete this journey with her teammates. "I think this is my 18th year on Tour," she told reporters, noting that the FM Championship is the last event before the Solheim Cup. She feels she has given her all to the team and the game. Looking ahead, she hinted at personal goals beyond the fairways. "So hopefully be able to join them on a few. And a big dream of mine is to become a mother one day. It's something I'm going to keep dreaming of."
Nordqvist's departure leaves a noticeable gap in the field. She was a player who could win any tournament she entered, a fact proven by her nine career ******* les. Her retirement signals a shift for the LPGA Tour, which loses a veteran presence known for her steady hand and competitive fire. The timing is interesting as she steps away while still serving as a team captain, but highlights her value to the sport even without holding a club for competition. Her focus on health and family reflects a growing trend among athletes who prioritize longevity over endless competition.

The UCLA Bruins and the USC Trojans play in the same city, they play in the same conference but the comparisons just about end there for the two Big Ten schools as they enter the 2026 season.
The pressure is on for USC, landing several terrific recruiting classes, but those recruiting classes have yet to lead to too much success under head coach Lincoln Riley. The time is now for the Trojans but they're tasked with a challenging Big Ten schedule, making their first-ever College Football Playoff appearance far from a sure thing.
Things are quite the opposite in Westwood. The Bruins are fresh off of being a national laughingstock for their 3-9 season which featured losses to UNLV and New Mexico. Enter in new head coach Bob Chesney and suddenly spirits are quite high for UCLA.
Yahoo Sports writer Dan Wolken covered the juxtaposition between the two programs entering the 2026 season.
"Against significant odds given what's happened the last two seasons, UCLA has managed to blow it out of Westwood. It's largely thanks to new coach Bob Chesney, the relentlessly positive and perfectly coiffed 49-year-old who won at a bunch of small schools in the Northeast you've never heard of before taking James Madison to the College Football Playoff last season. Before even coaching a game, he has managed to convince UCLA's administration, its boosters and most importantly its players that he can do the exact same thing on the West Coast," Wolken wrote. "It's not quite the same vibe across town, where the patina of endless possibility has eroded over the past 4 1/2 years into a new and urgent reality for Lincoln Riley."

LOS ANGELES — The sun shines almost every day in America's largest college football city, but there never seems to be enough for both of its power conference programs at the same time. In the recent history of the USC-UCLA rivalry, there is almost always a gray cloud hovering somewhere.
Against significant odds given what's happened the last two seasons, UCLA has managed to blow it out of Westwood. It's largely thanks to new coach Bob Chesney, the relentlessly positive and perfectly coiffed 49-year-old who won at a bunch of small schools in the Northeast you've never heard of before taking James Madison to the College Football Playoff last season. Before even coaching a game, he has managed to convince UCLA's administration, its boosters and most importantly its players that he can do the exact same thing on the West Coast.
"When you do your research on him, you see that he's a winner," said senior linebacker Jalen Woods, who has played for the same number of head coaches (three) as UCLA won games last season. "It's not his first rodeo."
It's not quite the same vibe across town, where the patina of endless possibility has eroded over the last 4 1/2 years into a new and urgent reality for Lincoln Riley.
When Southern Cal pulled off a middle-of-the-night shocker to lure him out of Oklahoma at the end of the 2021 season, administrators believed — and with good reason — that they had imported a national championship-level coach who would quickly usher in a long era of dominance on the West Coast.

PFL lightweight champion Usman Nurmagomedov hasn't entered the UFC yet, but he's already talking trash about the quality of opposition he may face when he gets there.
Nurmagomedov fought the last fight on his PFL contract last month, and recently revealed he turned down a $2 million per fight offer from the organization in order to wait out the 90 day exclusive negotiation period and see what other promotions might offer him. Promotions like the UFC, where he could finally get his due as one of the best lightweights in the world.
In an interview with Sport24, Usman pushed back on the idea that the top fighters are all in the UFC.
"They say if you don't fight in the UFC, it's not the same level. I disagree with this," he said. "Just look at the guys in the UFC who sit in the top 10 and they just fight amongst themselves and keep the top ten closed. For example, Benoit Saint Denis. Won 4, lost to Dustin Poirier, lost to 'Money' Moicano, lost 3 more. Lost in 30 seconds. [Michael] Chandler. Top 15. He's there. Lost to [Paddy] Pimblett."
"[Ilia] Topuria, who praised himself endlessly, lost. Quit on the stool. Said 'I don't wanna continue.' Arman [Tsarukyan] lost to [Mateusz] Gamrot, and he lost to Islam [Makhachev]. He sits, waits a year, fights once, and says that he is the best wrestler in the world. While he had two fights, I made four ****** le defenses."

Debt by any other name is still debt, and if you've ever been in any amount of it, you'll know that the one thing that is definitely not the solution is, well, even more debt. And yet, that seems to be the preferred strategy of modern governments: If more money is needed, then they can simply fund it with endless debt.
The level of arrears accrued by the powers of the world is almost incomprehensible at this point. According to the Institute of International Finance, total global debt, across sectors and types of lending, is over $350 trillion, equivalent to about 305% of global GDP. That's compared to 240% of GDP in 2005.
Jeff Bezos backs a platform that lets anyone invest in rental homes for as little as $100 — 6 ways to build wealth like a landlord without actually being one
Dave Ramsey warns nearly 50% of Americans are making 1 big Social Security mistake. Here's what it is and 3 simple steps to fix it ASAP

JJ Bleday leaned out and turned on a Zack Littell meatball in the Top of the 6th inning of Saturday night's game between the Cincinnati Reds and Arizona Diamondbacks down in the Land of the Endless Strip Mall, and the laser flew over the fence in right field at Chase Field for a homer.
That's cool in a nutshell. What made it even more special, though, is that the Cincinnati outfielder had already picked up a single, double, and triple on the evening, and this homer game him the cycle.
The cycle – just the 8th in the long, storied history of the Cincinnati Reds – was a marked change from where Bleday's form has been so far in August. Despite scorching the earth with his play in May after being recalled from AAA Louisville, he's fallen into something of a three true outcomes slugger ever since, with the hits and homers being much fewer and more far between.
Not so on Saturday, though.
Bleday's homer played pile-on for the Reds, who held an 8-2 lead at the time. Each of JJ, Elly De La Cruz, and Sal Stewart had been electric at the plate so far on the day, and that's pretty much the lone recipe for the Reds having success on any given night.

Richard Hughes may be leaving Liverpool at the end of the summer transfer window but, that doesn't mean that he can't continue trying to improve their ranks before he leaves.
Many different rumours have emerged about who Liverpool could target and who they could sign that would actually improve their team and, while three deals have got over the line, a lot more work still needs to be done.
The Reds have many problem areas among their first-team squad and, without these being rectified, it's hard to see how they'll do any better this term than they did last season.
Obviously, Liverpool don't have an endless money pit like some clubs and, with the amount of changes that they need to make, they may have to end up prioritising certain positions over others.
However, now that Hughes has been given the green light to sign one of the Reds' long-term targets, their plans may have to change.

Keeping your email inbox under control can feel like a full-time job in itself—with endless streams of messages making it difficult to separate what actually matters from the noise. Roland Busch, the CEO of Siemens, has a decisively minimalist approach: skipping email etiquette in favor of efficiency.
"I try to keep my inbox below 100. If you have more than 100 emails in your inbox, you lose the overview of what's actually on your plate," Busch told Business Insider. "I accomplish this by answering messages quickly and using a few words."
Oftentimes, those few words are simply "OK" or "No."
"I make it simple and fast. My team is trained to communicate this way. If I need to write something longer, I dictate my response while walking through the office."
That same emphasis on efficiency extends to how the 61-year-old manages his time with his direct reports. Rather than scheduling recurring one-on-one meetings, the leader of the $256 billion German engineering company—No. 143 on the Fortune Global 500—keeps his door open and lets his executives come to him when they need to.

Solange Knowles has paid a heartfelt tribute to her former co-star, Hayden Panettiere.
On Sunday, the Heroes actress was found unresponsive at an apartment in Greenville, South Carolina and was ****** ounced dead at the scene. She was 36.
Taking to her Instagram Stories on Tuesday, Solange posted a snap of herself and Hayden on the set of their 2006 teen comedy, Bring It On: All or Nothing, in which they played high school cheerleaders.
"Rest in peace Hayden. In peace, because you are so deserving of it," she wrote in the caption. "We had so many parallels in our lives, and the world watched u so courageously live in your radical truth telling your story (sic). We watched your endless quest for vulnerability, and healing."
Singer-actress Solange went on to share several more stills of Hayden in the movie.
"I salute your journey and i honor the work we created together that became something that really means something to people... reaching people we couldn't have ever imagined at the time, as two young girls, trying to keep looking to the light," the 40-year-old mused. "The light surrounds you now. Rest easy Hayden."

Arman Tsarukyan has his Octagon return set in stone. Instead of the long-awaited and endlessly evasive UFC ******* le shot he continues to pursue, the top-ranked lightweight will collide with rising contender Mauricio Ruffy at UFC 331 on Sept. 19 in Los Angeles.
Outside of MMA, Tsarukyan has been on every kind of side quest imaginable in 2026. He hasn't fought since a second-round submission of Dan Hooker in November. Over that time, Tsaurkyan, 29, has gone 7-1 in wrestling matches with Real American Freestyle (RAF) and racked up a 3-0-1 record in submission grappling matches.
Tsarukyan revealed on Monday's "The Ariel Helwani Show" that a rematch against Charles Oliveira was originally on tap for his UFC return bout.
"I was supposed to fight with Charles, co-main event, five rounds," Tsarukyan said. "Then I went for my training camp, and they, in two weeks, when I was in the mountains, called me and said, 'We got a new name for you. It's Ruffy.' I said, 'OK. No problem.'
"I don't want to pull out and wait for Charles, because [it's] LA, five rounds, it's a big card, and I have not fought in long time. I need this fight, so yeah, that's all."

(Photo by Ben STANSALL / AFP via Getty Images)
For almost two decades, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have been soccer's ultimate business proposition: Two extraordinary athletes, two competing brands and one endless argument over who was better.
This summer's World Cup was supposed to be their final shared stage. The idea that either could survive another four-year cycle (Messi is 39 and Ronaldo 41) and play at the 2030 World Cup seemed implausible. That both might do so was nearly unthinkable.
Instead, the tournament provided two very different reminders that neither player was quite ready to surrender the spotlight.
Messi recorded eight goals and four ***** ists, delivering another reminder that his genius has proved remarkably resistant to age as Argentina finished runners up. Messi did not talk to reporters after the game – his future with the national team very much in doubt.

When Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) reported earnings last month, investors weren't impressed. They dumped the stock, which was already struggling, causing it to hit a new 52-week low of $65.08. It seemed as though the company, despite its solid growth over the years, could do nothing to convince investors that it was worth investing in. Its tailspin seemed endless.
But with beaten-down stocks, at some point, they become too cheap to pass up. Investors load up on them at discounted prices, which can create a snowball effect, driving their share prices higher, leading to a rally. That appears to be happening with Netflix of late, as on Thursday, it was trading at around $77 -- which is 18% higher than the low it reached in July.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
Can the streaming stock still be a good buy right now? Let's find out.
When a company reports earnings that don't meet expectations, the market tends to act quickly. Sell first, think and **** yze later. When Netflix reported its second-quarter earnings on July 16, that may have been what happened. The company delivered a beat on the bottom line but slightly missed on revenue.

Puka Nacua believes Los Angeles' constant celebrity attention can actually help Los Angeles Rams players handle the pressure of the NFL.
Speaking on Impaulsive with Logan Paul, Nacua explained why playing in Los Angeles does not always create extra distractions. He pointed to the team's location and the city's endless stream of entertainment.
"I feel like being in the valley, we're luckily not in West Hollywood," Nacua said. "We're not in the downtown, so it's not too crazy."

The Rams receiver also believes the city's attention can quickly shift away from football. That can give players some breathing room after major performances.

Taylor Swift's love life has fascinated fans for years, becoming almost as widely discussed as her record-breaking music career. From fellow musicians to acclaimed actors and professional athletes, the global superstar has been linked to some of entertainment's biggest names. While her relationships have often inspired headlines—and occasionally hit songs—they have also fueled endless public curiosity about the people who have shared her journey.
Over the years, Swift has been romantically connected to celebrities including Joe Jonas, Calvin Harris, Harry Styles, John Mayer, Jake Gyllenhaal, Tom Hiddleston, and Alexander Skarsgård. Among her most significant relationships was her romance with British actor Joe Alwyn. Beginning in 2016, the pair kept their relationship remarkably private despite Swift's worldwide fame. During the COVID-19 pandemic, they quarantined together and even collaborated on several songs, with Alwyn receiving songwriting credits on award-winning tracks. After six years together, however, the couple quietly ended their relationship in 2023.
Following a brief romance with Matty Healy, frontman of the British band The 1975, Swift's personal life took another unexpected turn when she began dating NFL superstar Travis Kelce. Their relationship quickly became one of the most talked-about celebrity romances in the world, blending two massive fan bases from music and professional sports. Swift regularly attended Kansas City Chiefs games to support Kelce, while the tight end traveled internationally to watch performances on her record-breaking Eras Tour. Their mutual support and public appearances made them one of entertainment's most recognizable power couples.
The relationship reached a new milestone when the couple became engaged in August 2025. Less than a year later, in July 2026, they reportedly celebrated their wedding at New York City's iconic Madison Square Garden. The ceremony was conducted under extraordinary security measures, including extensive street closures, private security teams, and a guest list filled with celebrities from music, film, sports, and television. Despite the intense public interest surrounding the event, organizers worked carefully to maintain the couple's privacy throughout the celebration.
Taylor Swift's relationships have always attracted enormous media attention, but her romance with Travis Kelce has become one of the defining celebrity stories of recent years. Combining the worlds of global pop music and professional football, the pair have demonstrated how two high-profile careers can support one another while remaining at the center of worldwide attention. Whether through music, sports, or their shared public appearances, Swift and Kelce continue to captivate fans across the globe.

Every Major League Baseball park has its own distinct personality, but if you're talking history, Fenway (1914) and Wrigley (1912) sit in a league of their own as the meccas of the sport.
What's wild though, is the massive drop-off after those pre-World War 1 masterpieces. The third-oldest venue in baseball isn't some classic turn-of-the-century structure – it's Dodger Stadium, which didn't open until 1962. On the flip side of the timeline, Texas broke in MLB's newest venue, Globe Life Field, back in 2020. In fact, stadium construction has slowed down so much lately that Atlanta's Truist Park (2017) is the only other park to debut over the last decade.
That's a stark contrast to the massive boom sparked by Camden Yards in 1992, which kicked off a "retro-classic" wave that saw an incredible 12 new ballparks open between 1994 and 2004.
So, what's next on the horizon? The Athletics are officially set to open baseball's newest venue when they make their move to Las Vegas, while the Tampa Bay Rays might finally end their endless saga and secure a new ballpark.
Here's when every MLB stadium opened:
