Even random encounters with Seraphites can be a challenge, though none of these riskier moments were the cause of death for Reddit user ThePopcornDude....

The hometown Yankees lost that night. The hometown cat, however, was more than just a hit—it was a grand slam. The cat came onto the field during a game between the Baltimore Orioles and the New York Yankees. The game continued as the cat stalked near the Orioles’ dugout and then ran towards the outfield.

After a forgettable goalless first half at the Olympiastadion, which was once again without fans in attendance as Germany’s top flight began its second weekend back following the enforced hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic, captain Ibisevic emphatically headed home Marvin Plattenhardt’s left-wing cross in the 51st minute. Hertha came under fire for their close-proximity celebrations in last week’s 3-0 win at Hoffenheim and Ibisevic told his team-mates to mark his goal with socially-distant congratulations, though he did plant a playful headbutt on the chest of Dedryck Boyota, who denied he kissed Marko Grujic on the cheek in the Hoffenheim win....
