Mariners' Hector Santiago is first pitcher to be ejected under MLB's new foreign substance protocols
CBSN
Seattle Mariners pitcher Hector Santiago was ejected from Sunday's game against the Chicago White Sox after umpires checked his glove and discovered a sticky substance on the inside. This is the first ejection since Major League Baseball began cracking down on pitchers' use of foreign substances.
The 33-year-old left-handed pitcher was replaced midway through the fifth inning after umpires checked his glove — a requirement under the new league rule. The glove was also secured by the umpires before being given to an MLB authenticator for further examination. The Mariners said they believe the examination will clear Santiago, who is facing a potential 10-game suspension. The Mariners would not be allowed to replace him on the roster while he serves the suspension.UFO sightings should not be dismissed because they could in fact be surveillance drones or weapons, say Japanese lawmakers who launched a group on Thursday to probe the matter. The investigation comes less than a year after the U.S. Defense Department issued a report calling the region a "hotspot" for sightings of the mysterious objects.
The Allied invasion of Normandy 80 years ago today marked a pivotal event that historians often refer to as the beginning of the end of World War II. This operation began the liberation of Nazi-occupied territories and eventually ended the atrocities that resulted in the extermination of more than 6 million Jewish people.
In the weeks following D-Day, America and its allies deployed over 2 million troops into France, including a first-of-its-kind, top-secret U.S. military unit with a unique mission: to trick the Germans into chasing fake targets. Known as the Ghost Army, this unit's efforts 80 years ago marked the beginning of the end for Adolf Hitler.
