Joey Chestnut returns home this Friday for a nine-inning stunt at Oracle Park, aiming to eat 99 Impossible Nuggets in nine innings during the Giants–Dodgers clash. The Nathan’s champ, who owns more than 50 world records, says training and Bay Area roots give him confidence he can power through the marathon bite session, aided by a contest-winning fan partner.

The event blends baseball spectacle with fantasy-sports intrigue, offering a rare lens on stamina, pace, and crowd energy that could color late-game narratives and odd props in daily contests around the Giants’ weekend slate.

The Dallas Morning News Rangers podcast blends history and current team talk, with Evan Grant and John Blake sharing decades of frontline perspective. Michael Helman’s legend anchors the segment as a touchstone for Rangers depth, while David Murphy details his rise from analytics skeptic to broadcaster and his ‘Little Rascals’ nickname. A Ranger-record tale and a 9/11 memory in San Francisco anchor the episode as they map a potential postseason push and the roster’s path back to form.

Week 24 of 2025 delivers a tight waiver-wire sprint for fantasy MLB managers. Sal Frelick anchors runs with steady multi-category production (10 HR, 19 SB, .294) and strong counting stats, while Daylen Lile and Brandon Marsh offer risers with speed and timely power. Colson Montgomery and Jake Burger headline the HR column, with Austin Hays providing late-season pop. Otto Lopez, Andrew Benintendi, and Luis Torrens are top RBI tools, and Luis Garcia Jr., Caleb Durbin, and Victor Robles supply stolen-base upside. For AVG, Romy Gonzalez, Drew Gilbert, and Chase Meidroth provide varied contact and versatility. Rosters capped at 50%, so these targets can reshape your push for a title in a hurry.

Across the five categories, the piece highlights rostering practicality: Frelick’s blend of speed and runs, Montgomery’s power with a light average, and Burger’s remaining 30-homer ceiling when healthy. Hays stands out as a veteran with seasonal power, while Lopez and Torrens bring hot-streak RBI potential. The trio of AVG pickups—Gonzalez, Gilbert, and Meidroth—adds batting-average depth with September surges. Use these boosters to craft a week-by-week plan and chase a late-season edge.
