Lamine The Dream: Micah Richards coins nickname for Barcelona phenom Lamine Yamal after dazzling in UCL
Getty Images Where were you when you were 17? For Lamine Yamal, he's in the process of rewriting history with every kick of the ball. Scoring against Inter and also pushing Barcelona forward in a 3-3 draw in the first leg of the Champions League semifinals, what Yamal is doing is unheard of. Tuesday was his 100th appearance for Barcelona, and in that time, he has 50 goal contributions for the club (22 goals, 28 assists).

Astros amateur scouting director Cam Pendino followed, congratulating Pearson on the first major leaguer of his scouting career.Few members of a baseball organization relish a major-league debut more than the player’s signing scout.
