The Milwaukee Brewers turned baseball on its head this season, standing tall as the best team in the majors with an 85-51 record going into Sunday.

A lot of it can be attributed to star pitcher Jacob Misiorowski – who has turned into a contender for the National League Cy Young award. At the plate, Jackson Chourio has morphed into one of the team’s best batters. He notched a historic milestone against the Texas Rangers on Saturday.

Chourio finished 1-for-4 against the Rangers, belting his 20th home run of the season in a 5-3 victory. The dinger put Chourio into elite company.

He became the 17th player in MLB history to have three straight seasons of at least 20 home runs to start a career. He joined Hall of Famers Ted Williams, Eddie Mathews, Mickey Mantle, Frank Robinson, Orlando Cepeda and others on the list.

"I feel very prideful and very happy to be a part of that group and be mentioned with those same names," the 22-year-old told reporters through an interpreter. "All those names are just great examples for me to follow moving forward."

Chourio has three home runs in his last three games going back to the Brewers’ series finale against the New York Mets on Thursday. He’s hitting .281 with a .820 OPS.

Milwaukee is riding a four-game winning streak heading into Sunday’s finale against the Rangers. Chourio understands that the historical perspective is important, but the stats don’t mean anything unless the Brewers get their first World Series title.

"The dream is to win," Chourio added. "That’s the hope this year — to continue winning and to win it all."

Milwaukee has an eight-game lead against the Chicago Cubs in the National League Central Division.

Well, it's official: August 2026 will be remembered as the month that drama in the YouTube golf space hit its peak.

Good Good golf, the popular apparel brand and YouTube channel with more than 2 million followers, has taken an immense amount of criticism over its recent ad promoting a collaboration on a driver with Callaway in which Good Good co-founder Garrett Clark shoves a female member of the brand to the ground.

While Good Good continues to take serious heat and faces legitimate uncertainties, fellow YouTube golf star Grant Horvat has managed to steer some of the negative attention towards himself with the announcement of his new kid's golf club set.

Horvat, a former member of Good Good himself, has built a YouTube powerhouse with 1.8 million subscribers. His content and image are about as clean as they come, and the vast majority of creators and fans in the space would label him the poster child of YouTube Golf.

Horvat stepping into the kids' golf equipment space and genuinely looking to grow the game, which I believe he is, is a great thing. Anyone who disagrees is simply wrong, but how Horvat is trying to do those things, that's where there is a serious disconnect.

CALLAWAY ADMITS IT APPROVED CONTROVERSIAL GOOD GOOD WOMAN-SHOVING AD IN LATE-NIGHT STATEMENT

On Wednesday, Horvat announced the launch of his Lil' Legends Starter Set in conjunction with Performance Golf.

The set is designed for kids aged 3–6 and comes with a toddler-height driver, iron, and putter. The driver comes with a training grip, and the set also includes a "See & Stand mat" that rolls into a bag to carry the clubs, a set of foam golf balls and tees, plus a link to a video that shows five games to play.

Admittedly, that's a solid bundle. The price tag of $199, however, is diabolical and distasteful.

Based on the photos of the clubs included in the set, they appear to be made of plastic, although the incredibly in-depth landing page where one can purchase the clubs never specifies what exactly the clubs are made of. The heads of the clubs certainly don't appear to be made of metal, which many kids' sets are.

You can't fault Horvat for creating a product for young kids looking to get into the game of golf, but doing so in the form of selling a $200 set as a guy worth millions doesn't exactly come across as 'giving back to the game.'

In the 'Your Questions Answered' section of the description, one of the questions is "Why $199 when plastic sets are $25?" The answer provided doesn't address the materials, but instead notes that "because plastic sets are toys that break and teach nothing."

In the answer to the question of "How is this different from plastic toy clubs?" the answer is still vague.

"Plastic clubs are toys — built to look like clubs, not work like them," the website reads. "Real contact, real balls, and real swings break them. The Lil' Legends clubs are real equipment sized for a toddler — built to hold up to a real swing and engineered with a teaching system inside. Plastic breaks. These don't."

When reached for comment about what material the Lil' Legends Starter Set clubs are made of, Performance Golf explained that the "clubs are real golf equipment, not plastic toy clubs or cut down adult clubs" and that "the clubs are built for real swing durability and use toddler-safe materials."

The clubs made out of an unknown material may not break, but your bank account will take on a bit of damage relative to competitors and their price points in the kids' golf equipment space.

What good is acquiring knowledge if you can't share it with others? Now, those in the real world who are working with others for a living have run into the person who tries to learn everything for job security purposes.

It doesn’t have to be that way. If you're good at what you do, then it doesn’t hurt to share that knowledge. That's where Livvy Dunne comes in.

She acquired some valuable knowledge about the iconic Baywatch slow motion run and, instead of hoarding it all to herself, she selflessly passed along the three keys to pulling it off to Olivia Ponton.

JOE BURROW SPOTTED HANGING OUT WITH A SPORTS ILLUSTRATED SWIMSUIT MODEL AFTER PRACTICE

The employee/girlfriend of Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow wisely turned what she learned from Dunne into content. That's the way of the world these days, it is what it is.

Hey, credit to her too. Ponton could have played around like they were making something special together, never posted the video, and kept the three keys to herself. There's no reason to do that.

Just because you have the recipe doesn't mean you can pull it off like the Pamela Andersons of the world. And out of respect for Pamela and the rest of the Baywatch trailblazers, I'm not about to compare this to what they did.

It's a completely different era. It's not fair. One is hard fouls on the way to the hoop and the other is a flopping disgrace. But we can find greatness in both.

Let's get back to those keys and the knowledge transfer. After buttering up the former gymnast and MLB WAG with a "Baywatch baddie" compliment, Ponton handed the spotlight over to Dunne.

The keys are as follows:

I don't know about you, but I learned something. My instincts are correct. It's better to pass along the knowledge than to keep it all for yourself.

The sense of job security is a figment of the imagination of the know-it-all who doesn’t share what they've learned. This is a better way.

Hulk Hogan may have died last July, but Hulkamania will certainly live forever.

In the heart of New York City, right outside of Madison Square Garden, Nick Hogan and his project partner Rich Rosen are preparing to write the next chapter of Hulkamania’s legacy with Hulk Hogan’s SLAM Sports Bar to help honor pro wrestling history and the legends that shaped the industry. The bar is set to open soon.

COMPLETE PRO WRESTLING COVERAGE ON OUTKICK

"The location is so special and it's right next door to Madison Square Garden, right at the entrance to the Garden and Penn Station," Nick Hogan told OutKick in a recent interview. "It's like a really central hub spot for New York City. So, we're thrilled to bring this concept to New York City, but also to the birthplace and the spiritual home of Hulkamania.

"So, with those renders being what they are, when this place comes to life and we're all lit up and it's grand opening week, there's going to be magic in the air. We're going to have so many of our friends and family there and the experience that the fans will get is going to be unique and unlike anything they'll be able to get anywhere else in the world. I mean just the connection alone to Hulkamania and the unique ability that we're going to have to give people that magic again is going to be amazing. So, we're thrilled about it."

Rosen, a lifelong New Yorker, said he’s been going to Madison Square Garden since the 1970s and has seen larger-than-life athletes come into the building – from Hulk Hogan and Bruno Sammartino to Muhammad Ali and Michael Jordan. He dreamt of bringing Hogan’s brand to New York City and making it his own and bringing in big-time players like ICRAVE to help design the bar.

He said he hoped Hulk Hogan’s SLAM Sports Bar will be a throwback to a simpler time for future patrons.

"What we're really hoping in Slam, besides all the future and incredible effects that ICRAVE is bringing into this — sound effects and lighting effects — what you really want is you want actually a throwback," Rosen explained. "You want people to be able to step back in time when Hulkamania took over New York City in the 1980s, and ‘90s, and when things were a lot more fun than they are now, so to speak. I think everybody could admit to that.

"Now, you're giving people a chance to go to Madison Square Garden and see the world champs play and then go across the street and go back in time. And as they watch the future games and the Super Bowls and the NBA championships, they'll also be able to reflect back in time when they enjoyed themselves and when New York was at the top of its peak. It really is going to be a gift to New York City above everything else. It's finally going to have a worthy spot next to Madison Square Garden with its most famous performer."

Nick Hogan has since carried the torch to honor and preserve his father’s legacy inside and outside the ring.

For him, Hulkamania is now something that bridges the gap between all generations of sports fans.

"It means everything to me, and like Rich just mentioned, is that this is spanning past, present, and future," Hogan said. "And it's like looking at his legacy in terms of what he left behind and all of the iconic moments that he had. It's almost like a point of reflection for me where my perspective has changed, and his legacy is not just the past, but it's the future as well. And it's what he inspires others to do and how he touched other people's lives. And what he's inspired us to do is to carry that legacy forward in a way that he could and his spirit could, and what the Hulkamania mantra is.

"So, that's what we're so thrilled about is, like Rich said, this bridges the gap between past, present, and future. As you're sitting in Slam Sports Bar in our main room, the Slam room, and you're reflecting, you're looking around, you see the old wrestling matches on TV, but right next to it, you see tonight's game. And then, you just might have left the concert at the Garden, and then you're getting thrilled to come back in a few days for the Knicks game or something. It gives people a place to go and reflect and take in all of those iconic moments and celebratory moments and also get excited for the ones that are coming in the future. So, that's a really cool concept for us to be able to do that. And also, that's kind of the spirit of the Hulkamania — that Hulkamania will live forever. And my dad always said that Hulkamania will outlive the man. He definitely wasn't wrong about that. So, it's extremely important to me to carry the legacy forward in the same way that he had intended and through Slam Sports Bar, we're able to do that."

Hulk Hogan was still beloved by many through his death last year.

Though he heard the boo birds in his last appearance on WWE TV, Nick Hogan made clear that his father is the "most important figure in professional wrestling entertainment."

"Truthfully, I think what matters the most is that I think that he single-handedly is the most important figure in professional wrestling entertainment, and bar none," he told OutKick. "I think that there's a lot of Mount Rushmore guys. There's a lot of guys that really are incredible that were fantastic at moving the needle and everything else, but I think that he above all else is by far the most responsible for bringing it to the masses and for giving it the wild popularity that it's got today.

"And there's a lot of other guys that can be credited for that as well. I just think that my dad moved the needle more than anyone else."
