'He's home': After 73 years, Medal of Honor recipient's remains return to Georgia

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 17:03:06 GMT

Soldiers of the 9th Infantry Regiment made a desperate retreat as North Korean troops closed in around them. A wounded, 18-year-old Army Pfc. Luther Herschel Story feared his injuries would slow down his company, so he stayed behind to cover their withdrawal.Story’s actions in the Korean War on Sept. 1, 1950, would ensure he was remembered. He was awarded the Medal of Honor, the nation's highest military honor, which is now displayed alongside his portrait at the National Infantry Museum, an hour’s drive from his hometown of Americus, Georgia.But Story was never seen alive again, and his resting place long remained a mystery.“In my family, we always believed that he would never be found,” said Judy Wade, Story’s niece and closest surviving relative.That changed in April when the U.S. military revealed lab tests had matched DNA from Wade and her late mother to bones of an unidentified American soldier recovered from Korea in October 1950. The remains belonged to Story, a ca...

After years of searching, SF Giants’ Anthony DeSclafani thinks he found a curveball that works

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 17:03:06 GMT

MILWAUKEE — A week ago, the bullpen behind the left-center field fence at Target Field transformed into Anthony DeSclafani’s personal pitching lab. Approached beforehand by pitching coach Andrew Bailey and a few other staffers from the Giants’ pitching department, they believed they had an answer to something for which DeSclafani had been searching for years.The curveball. A bender. A potential putaway pitch to pair with his sinker-slider combination.“It’s always been a pitch that’s been a pain in the butt for me,” DeSclafani said.It was time to experiment.Cycling through four or five different grips throughout the session, one clicked toward the end. It felt so good, in fact, that DeSclafani was eager to show it off in his next start, two days later. And it so seamlessly melded with the rest of his repertoire that he went to the pitch 19 times against the Twins last Wednesday, more than he’s ever thrown the curve in three years with the Giants.“Y...

The noon to 3 p.m. outing on Saturday will feature a concert, games and — most importantly — fresh merchandise available for purchase.Perhaps the next big question to answer is: Where will this team play?The NWSL team, headlined by star ownership in Brandi Chastain, Leslie Osborne, Aly Wagner and Danielle Slaton, still hasn’t finalized what city and stadium it will call home in the Bay Area. And while this first event will be in San Francisco, the most likely host stadium remains PayPal Park in San Jose, the only soccer-specific stadium in the region.Built in 2015 for the San Jose Earthquakes, PayPal has already become a destination for women’s soccer. The U.S. women’s national team will ...

Who can stop Man City? Challengers need big offseason to set up Premier League title shot

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 17:03:06 GMT

Who can stop Manchester City?That’s the question being asked at the end of another Premier League campaign when Pep Guardiola’s team proved too strong, winning the title for a fifth time in six years.A look at who might be best-placed to bring down City next season:ARSENAL (2nd place)Juggling another run at the title with the demands of playing in the Champions League looks to be Arsenal’s biggest problem. Squad depth became a growing issue at the end of this season — look at the collapse in the defensive stats following the injury to center back William Saliba, for example — and it will be even more stark when the team has to play high-level games twice a week. Reinforcements at left back, center back and central midfield are needed, especially if Granit Xhaka leaves. However, Mikel Arteta’s squad — the youngest in the Premier League — will be better for the experience of going toe to toe with City before eventually falling short. “We understand where ...
