Dodgers Set Franchise Attendance Record, Surpassing 2 Million Fans in 40 Games
The Los Angeles Dodgers have surpassed two million in attendance in just 40 games this season. The defending World Series champions have had 2,026,238 through the gates so far. The team said Wednesday that it's the fastest they've reached that mark in franchise history. Last season, it took 42 games and in 2019, when the Dodgers set their all-time season attendance mark of 3,974,309, it took 43 games. The Dodgers have made 12 consecutive postseason appearances since 2013, winning World Series titles in the pandemic-shortened 2020 season and last year. They lost back-to-back World Series appearances in 2017 and 2018. Los Angeles is 46-29 this season, good for first place in the National League West and No. 2 in the NL as a whole.

‘Thank you for being an incredible coach'
Arsenal assistant coach Carlos Cuesta has taken to social media to say his goodbyes ahead of taking over the vacant managerial role at Parma. The 29-year-old is set to become the youngest manager in the Italian top flight this century, and second-youngest in history, when he completes his move to the Italian side, who finished in 16th in Serie A last season. Advertisement Cuesta will be replacing Chrstian Chivu, who guided the Yellow and Blues to survival before taking over at Inter following the departure of Simone Inzaghi. In a post on his Instagram, Cuesta spoke of his gratitude of working at the Gunners since being brought to the club by Mikel Arteta in 2020 after stints at Atletico Madrid and Juventus. 'After five beautiful years it's hard to put this into words, but I can only express how grateful I am for having lived my day-to-day with such special people and feel what it means to represent this football club, with its incredible history and values,' Cuesta said. 'The only thing I've ever tried to do was give everything I had inside of me every single day. I was inspired by the culture that was created, by the hunger of every person of the organisation and by the unity that we had in any situation that we had to face. 'It has been a privilege to have had the chance to work with the players, staff, directors and all the employees of the club and at the same time, to receive an extra push from our amazing fans in every match.' Advertisement Cuesta followed this up with a second post thanking Arteta for his 'trust' during their five years together in north London. 'And then, to the person that made it happen. Thank you. That's the only thing I can say,' he added. 'Thank you for your trust, for giving me the opportunity to be next to you and for showing me with constant facts which is the meaning of the word 'courage'. 'But more than that, thank you for being an incredible coach, an incredible leader, and an even better human being. 'It has been a true privilege to learn from you, to feel your support in any circumstance and to share the ups and downs of the journey always seeing the positive side of it. You've taught me a lot, and I will carry it always with me. 'From the bottom of my heart, thank you.'

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift Attend Game 4 of Stanley Cup Final
An extremely pivotal Game 4 of the NHL Stanley Cup Final is taking place Thursday night, with the Florida Panthers looking to take a commanding 3-1 series lead while the Edmonton Oilers aim to even things up and turn the series into a best of three. The game holds enough significance that it's not only drawn the attention of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, it's brought them directly to the home of the Panthers in a suite at Amerant Bank Arena to take in the action first-hand. Advertisement "In their #StanleyCup Final era ... Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce knew all too well they couldn't miss Game 4 in Sunrise," the post on X read. Yes, we see what you did there, @Sportsnet. In the clip, the announcer refers to Swift and Kelce as "musical and sporting royalty," and indicates the magnetic couple had apparently just arrived to the game, presumably a short time before the above video was likely quickly posted to Sportsnet's X account. Based on the colors of choice for their attire, one might assume Travis and Taylor are rooting for the Panthers because there is quite literally nothing about their fits that scream Edmonton Oilers. Advertisement But then again, perhaps the famous couple just continues to ride with Kansas City Chiefs red in the offseason, which would be completely understandable. Thankfully, despite the predictable negative nature of social media when it comes to something as innocent as Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift simply attending a fun sporting event, some civility prevailed in the comments. "I can assure you as a hockey fan that hockey fans also like Taylor Swift and are happy to see her there!" one user posted. While the brand of Kelce's hat is not entirely clear based on what's seen in the clip, it almost doesn't even matter because regardless of what that embroidery says, what we do know is that his hat game continues to ride an impressive hot streak. Advertisement Game 5 of the NHL Stanley Cup Final will shift back to Edmonton on Saturday, June 14, with the puck dropping at 8 p.m. ET on TNT as well as TruTV.
