Victoria’s Secret should sign Rachel Pizzolato to face Sydney Sweeney in lingerie war, Reds fan is dumb & MEAT

It’s Thursday morning and the sun is out here in NW Ohio for another edition of Screencaps where we get started with more news about the world of pop culture healing from the woke, disgusting Biden era where being a loud-mouth purple hair lingerie model was more important than being a beautiful biological female like Rachel Pizzolato.

Who is Pizzolato? She’s an Instagram content creator –– legit content creator; she can change brakes on a Hyundai –– who went in Wednesday for a test shoot with Victoria’s Secret. Why is that a big deal? Well, because she’s an actual female going in for a test shoot for a brand that has made a habit of trotting out biological males in lingerie for its annual fashion show.

Rachel isn’t on the level of Sydney Sweeney going in and saving American Eagle, but she’s the type of personality that pop culture needs and heals. Is there another Victoria’s Secret model who can change the oil in a 2025 Hyundai? I highly doubt it. But, Rachel can.

Here’s the proof. Is there a Victoria’s Secret Angel who can repair a toilet? I’ve been working on the Internet 18 years and I can’t name one. It turns out Rachel has a full video on her repairing a toilet.

Speaking of Sweeney, she’s trying to steal lingerie market share from Victoria’s Secret with her new SYRN brand. The energy right now is on SYRN’s side. Pizzolato wouldn’t be a complete game-changing move from VS, but it would be a move in the right direction. You’d have American women in a lingerie showdown like the old days of the United States.

My 14U boys (we have 10 13-year-olds on the team) got a lesson last night from a high-level travel ball player who lit up our rec ball team

I’d say he threw in the low 80s maybe the mid-80s. With control. I’m talking a 14-year-old kid straight out of central casting for a baseball movie. Probably 5’8. 230 pounds. Maybe a couple more pounds after a big breakfast. Growing up in Brookville, OH, my family would call this kid corn-fed. Thick as an ox. Any fat was actually muscle. Big boned. Head the size of a bull.

MLB FIRST-ROUND PICK JEFF FRANCOEUR TALKS FATHERHOOD IN YOUTH SPORTS, PETE ROSE, POTENTIAL BASEBALL LOCKOUT

And he threw flat-out SMOKE. Highly controlled smoke. Here’s the kicker: He was the second pitcher we faced last night. The first one went three innings and gave up one hit. That kid threw over-powering heat, but not nearly like this ox. Out of 12 pitches in the 4th inning, nine were strikes. He painted the corners. Up, down. Inside. Sliced and diced.

As I was coaching 3rd base, the shortstop and third baseman were talking to each other saying, “thank god we don’t have to face him.” At the plate, the ox went 3-for-3 with a double and a triple.

Last night, as I was decompressing from the night, I did some investigating and it turns out the ox spends part of his summers playing in high-level Perfect Game travel ball showcases around the midwest. In the spring, while in school, it appears he plays with his school buddies. I had zero problem with him destroying our team. It was actually very impressive to witness. And the kid never said a word. Never ran his mouth. He just went about his business methodically and destructively.

If only there was a way to get my kids to take an ounce of that mentality. Final score: 11-1. That team might not lose a game this summer.

Screencaps readers chime in on the youth baseball walk-up music controversy

– CB emails: It’s been a minute since I chimed in, so I figured I’d toss my completely unsolicited 2 cents into the walk-up music debate. First—full disclosure—I don’t have a dog in this fight. My kids are grown and flown, so the only thing I’m managing these days is my coffee intake and the occasional hot take.

Phil suggested Rick might just be a grumpy old man. Possible, but I’d like to offer a counter-diagnosis: Phil is suffering from a touch of Main Character Energy (as the kids say and as I’m now obligated to misuse). Wanting a entrance song for yourself at your own wedding and pacing like a caged tiger? That’s not a wedding. That’s an origin story. And you could do better than Slayer. Also, Phil slightly overlooked a small, but critical detail – weddings are, traditionally speaking, about the bride. The groom’s job is to be more of Supporting Actor with speaking lines.

MALE EMT IN ROYALS DUGOUT DRILLED BY FOUL BALL IN THE ABSOLUTE WORST POSSIBLE SPOT

As far as walk up music for 11 & 12 years olds? I think it’s harmless, fun even – a little swagger never hurt anyone. Until it does. The second a kid cares more about his intro than his at-bat, you’ve turned development into distraction and you’ve lost the plot.

At that age, the checklist is simple: No one on – get on base. Runner on 1st – move him over. Runner in scoring position – get the job done.Not: “Let me time my glove adjustment with the beat drop.” They should be learning how to play the great game of baseball—not building a personal brand. And for the “Professional players have walk up songs” crowd – I hate to ruin your fantasy, but when they step into the box, they’re not thinking about Metallica vs. Drake. They’re locked in on: The situation. The pitcher. Swing cues. The music for the crowd.

It’s part of the show baseball has become (See also: closers entering like WWE superstars).One thing I would agree with Phil on is entrance music for work. This is a wildly underutilized concept. Lucky for me I work from home and can have an entrance song if I want. Personally, I’d go with AC/DC’s Thunderstruck or Big Bad Wolf (Warner/Chappell Productions) if I want to fully commit to bad decisions.

Of course if I did, my dogs would give me the side eye and my wife would seriously reconsider her life choices. But for a brief, glorious moment… I’d feel like I just crushed a walk-off dinger in Game 7.

Life is short, be legendary. All my best to you, Mrs. Screencaps and the SC community. Do hard things!

– Otis in Mobile checks in: A lot of talk lately about Walk up Music and the Savannah Bananas, which may be two sides of the same coin. Baseball may be America’s pastime and going to games at any level is a lot of fun, but I just do not think it translates well to television, especially in today’s world where everything seems to be instant gratification. So yes the Savannah Bananas are going to draw crowds because it adds some entertainment to the event. I have watched a few innings on TV and it was fun but it was not long before I switched the channel and I have no intention to attend a Bananas game for one simple reason. It’s just too loud. If I want to constantly be bombarded with loud music and a thousand things going on at once I will go to Mexico. It is cheaper and the food is better. No hate, I think what Jesse Cole has fought through to make this thing successful is amazing and I wish that league all the best.

I feel that the walkup music in baseball is the same thing, a little something outside the norm to liven things up. The fans like it and even Outkick has posted articles dedicated to a single player’s music and how it is awesome….or it isn’t. Young players seeing this from players they want to imitate are naturally going to do the same, mostly in the interest of “look at me”. And you know what? That is fine. Do your thing kid, but just remember that when you draw attention to yourself and fail to get the result you want, it can be embarrassing.

This is where I think the coach that was ejected by the teenage umpire made his mistake. If he thought the lyrics were unsuitable and complained that is one thing, but I really do not think that was the entirety of his complaint. I think he felt like his team was getting shown up and did not like it, so he decided he was going to stop it. The problem is that most of the time you cannot control other people and even if you can, maybe you shouldn’t. I have never coached baseball but I have coached some kids flag football and every team has its talkers. When our kids complained about a talker my response was always the same thing. “If you don’t like him talking, then shut him down. Beat that team. Do YOUR talking on the field with your play.” My opinion is that after it was obvious the ref was not going to give him what he wanted he should have called his team to the pitchers mound and fired them up so that the walk up music became an advantage for HIS team. Instead he took his ball and went home, forfeiting the game.

One of the reasons that I love sports is that it is a metaphor for life, and he failed those kids by not teaching them some life lessons.

1. Control what you can control and make your own destiny, not what other people want it to be.

2. Sometimes no matter how hard you try things do not go your way. Finish what you start and get better every day

I am sure there are some other ones, but I am on a timeline today.

Americans would rather have a nuclear plant in their backyard than a datacenter

On-Prem

AI and the bit barns that power it have developed a serious PR problem

The majority of Americans are now opposed to datacenters being built in their area, many strongly opposed, pointing to tough times ahead for site developers.

A Gallup survey found more than 70 percent of respondents indicate they would be against the construction of an AI datacenter in their neighboorhood, with almost half (48 percent) saying they were strongly opposed. Only 27 percent were in favor.

The polling shows how quickly AI server farms have become politically toxic in the US, not helped by stories about their effects on energy bills, slurping up water supplies, and creating air and noise pollution in their vicinity.

To highlight this, Gallup found that more US residents are opposed to massive data halls than to having a nuclear power plant in their backyard: 53 percent of Americans oppose building a nuclear energy site nearby, compared with the 71 percent against datacenter construction.

When it comes to the reasons for opposing AI campuses, half of all respondents cite the effect on resources, with excess water usage and potential power grid constraints topping the list. Concern about loss of farmland and nature was surprisingly low, with just 7 percent mentioning this, but it is possible the scores are higher in rural areas.

Quality-of-life concerns such as increased traffic were put forward by nearly a quarter, while a fifth mentioned higher utility bills.

Many were worried about AI specifically: that it would replace human workers, that they don’t trust it, that it is moving too fast, and that the industry needs regulating. Perhaps the latter sentiment is why President Trump appears to have shifted his own position on the need for AI regulations.

Conversely, those in favor of datacenters cite economic benefits, with 55 percent mentioning increased job opportunities, and 13 percent saying it is because of increased tax revenues.

However, these people are perhaps laboring under some delusions, as datacenters generally deliver few long-term local jobs once they are operational, and far from increasing tax revenue, many benefit from generous tax subsidy schemes that are costing some individual US states upward of $1 billion in lost income each year.

This being America in 2026, Gallup looked at how attitudes stack up depending on political affiliation. It found that Democrats, at 56 percent, are much more likely than Republicans to be strongly opposed to a server farm in their vicinity. But 39 percent of Republicans are also strongly opposed, while another 24 percent are somewhat averse to it, and only about a third are in favor.

Gallup points out the contradiction: for AI usage to expand in the US, facilities that can handle the necessary computing power will have to be built. But most Americans appear to take a “not in my backyard” attitude to new bit barns, and that attitude has grown in strength.

The Register noted this last year, when Emma Fryer, public policy director for datacenter operator CyrusOne, said: “People don’t make a connection between the digital services they depend on every minute of every day of their lives and the fact that providing them every minute of every day of their lives requires industrial-scale infrastructure.”

She was speaking during a discussion of the industry’s image problem at the Datacloud Global Congress event in Cannes, France.

Garry Connolly, founder of Digital Infrastructure Ireland, told the same audience: “Most people are fucking scared of AI, like we’re feeding a monster.” Telling the public that all those massive datacenters are needed for AI is therefore not a winning argument. ®

What is on the table during Lebanon-Israel direct negotiations? | Israel attacks Lebanon News

Beirut, Lebanon – A new round of negotiations between Israel and Lebanon will take place on Thursday and Friday to save a fragile ceasefire – repeatedly ignored by Israel – which is set to expire on Saturday.

It will be the third time the Lebanese and Israeli delegations meet face to face this year, after the countries’ respective ambassadors gathered in Washington, DC, on April 14, followed by a second round of talks on April 23.

Who is attending?

Some of the same officials who attended the previous negotiations will be at the third round – including the US ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee – with diplomatic and military representation from both sides expected, according to Lebanese media.

Lebanon is set to be led by Simon Karam, a Lebanese diplomat appointed by Aoun, while Lebanon’s ambassador to the US, Nada Hamadeh Moawad and Deputy Chief of Mission Wissam Boutros, who were both in previous meetings, will also likely attend. A new addition to the negotiators’ list will be Lebanon’s Military Attache to Washington, General Oliver Hakme.

Israel’s ambassador to Washington, Yechiel Leiter, will be joined by Brigadier General Amichai Levin, head of the Israeli army’s Strategic Division, and Deputy Advisor to Israel’s National Security Council, Yossi Draznin.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who attended the first two meetings but is currently in China for President Donald Trump’s visit to Beijing, will be replaced by his adviser Michael Needham, State Department official Jay Mens, and US ambassadors to Israel, Mike Huckabee, and Lebanon, Michel Issa.

How is Lebanon viewing this?

The country is divided over the prospect of direct negotiations, all the way up to the governmental level.

“The country’s president, prime minister and speaker of parliament – all hailing from different religious sects according to Lebanon’s confessional system – cannot agree upon a framework, or even an ultimate objective to the talks,” Souhayb Jawhar, a Lebanese journalist and analyst, wrote for the Middle East Council on Global Affairs.

The United States even proposed a direct meeting between Aoun and Israel’s PM Benjamin Netanyahu, which threatened to inflame tensions in Lebanon. Some analysts believe internal strife in Lebanon would be a boon to Israel.

“There is no one who would benefit more from a disintegration of law and order and civil strife than the Israelis,” Sami Halabi, the director of policy at Badil, a Beirut-based think tank, told Al Jazeera. “In that scenario, there is a whole swath of opportunities for them from supporting different militias and groups to making those groups fight Hezbollah, in order to weaken. For the Israelis, when the [Lebanese] state becomes weaker or the nature of civil peace or cohabitation becomes fragmented, then they have smaller pieces to deal with.”

How is Hezbollah responding?

Israel’s attacks on Lebanon have continued, despite the ceasefire, with Hezbollah retaliating in turn.

According to the group’s statements, most of Hezbollah’s attacks have targeted Israeli soldiers or vehicles on Lebanese territory, with some military sites inside northern Israel used in the invasion also hit.

On Tuesday, Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem delivered a statement, saying that his fighters “will respond to the aggression and violations, and we will not return to the pre-March 2nd status quo” whereby Israel attacked Lebanon and Hezbollah did not respond.

Qassem seemed to indicate that Hezbollah accepts the Lebanese government is negotiating on the country’s behalf, and said Hezbollah was “ready to cooperate” to achieve certain goals. Those goals include halting Israeli attacks, the withdrawal of Israeli troops from occupied territories, the deployment of the Lebanese army to the south, the return of Lebanese prisoners held in Israeli prisons, for southerners to return to their homes, and for the reconstruction of the southern region battered by years of Israeli strikes.

Qassem said, however, that Hezbollah still rejects direct negotiations and prefers indirect talks.

What is on the table and expected to be discussed?

The Lebanese strategy, so far, appears to have been to appeal to Washington to pressure Israel to enforce the ceasefire. Lebanese officials, Aoun principally among them, have said they want a ceasefire enforced before they continue negotiations.

While Israeli officials have spoken of potential long-term peace deals, Aoun and the Lebanese side have insisted they will not seek normalisation and instead cited the 1949 armistice agreement – which sought to end fighting between the two sides – as a possible framework for ending tensions.

Beirut is reportedly planning on outlining the damage done to Lebanon from Israeli attacks on the country since the 2024 ceasefire agreement and will present detailed maps showing the homes destroyed or razed by Israel during this period.

However, most analysts admit Lebanon has little leverage in the talks.

Israel is expected to reject the proposal of a ceasefire as wants to continue attacks on Hezbollah assets in Lebanon, resulting in four children killed or injured a day since another ostensible truce was declared on April 16.

It also seeks the disarmament of Hezbollah, while some Israeli officials are seeking the annexation of southern Lebanon. Other Israeli officials intend to turn the southern Lebanese region into an uninhabitable buffer zone.

Analysts say that ultimately, Israel is trying to use its power and influence in order to force Lebanon to bend towards its regional goals and interests.

While the Lebanese government is believed to be eager to bring Hezbollah’s arms under the control of the state, Israel has claimed the two sides are on the same page regarding disarmament of the movement.

Although the Lebanese government has regularly criticised Israel’s ceasefire violations and occupation of Lebanese territory, it has also been criticised by many Lebanese who argue that by engaging in direct talks with Israel and a preoccupation on the disarmament of Hezbollah is forwarding Israeli and US interests.

Is anyone else involved?

Despite the best efforts of countries like France and Egypt, the US will be the sole mediator in these talks.

France was involved in the “mechanism” that managed the 2024 ceasefire, but diplomatic sources said Paris had little power over enforcing the truce, which was left to Washington to manage.

Many analysts doubt the US will act as a neutral mediator, as historically Washington has favoured Israel’s interests over those of other parties in the region, including Beirut.

In the run-up to negotiations, however, Saudi Arabia has also played an important role. Riyadh appears to be forming a new regional axis in order to counter Israel’s regional hegemony, increasingly aware of the country’s expansionist motives.

Riyadh attempted to settle governmental disputes between Aoun and Salam on one side and Berri on the other, so that Lebanon could enter negotiations with Israel on a united front. Saudi Arabia was reportedly also trying to cool internal tensions in Lebanon that had risen over the opposition to the talks and could further weaken Beirut’s hand in negotiations.

Cole Hauser says Rip Wheeler embodies old-school American masculinity

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

In a television landscape often defined by antiheroes and moral gray areas, Cole Hauser says Rip Wheeler stands apart.

The longtime actor, who reprises his fan-favorite “Yellowstone” role in Paramount+’s new series “Dutton Ranch,” told Fox News Digital that Rip was always designed to embody an older kind of masculinity rooted in loyalty, honesty and grit.

“I mean, there’s pieces,” Hauser said when asked how much of Rip reflects who he is in real life. “You know, obviously I don’t kill people, which is a good thing.”

“But, you know, I think what Taylor and I originally wanted to create is kind of a throwback to the old-school American man,” he continued. “And I think Rip is that. He’s extremely loyal. He’s honest. He has great honor. He loves, he fights. I mean, he is the epitome of a Montana man.”

“Dutton Ranch” marks the next chapter for Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler after the massive success of “Yellowstone,” with Kelly Reilly and Hauser leading the Paramount+ spinoff alongside newcomers including Academy Award nominees Ed Harris and Annette Bening.

The new series follows Beth and Rip as they attempt to build a future together in Texas while facing new threats, rivalries and challenges far from Montana.

For Hauser, the role has always felt personal.

The actor, who has long split time between Montana and Florida, said his connection to the West runs far deeper than the screen.

“Well, Florida is, I feel like I’m on vacation when I go home, which is what we wanted to create, my wife and I,” Hauser said. “Montana, my family has been there since 1886. So the Hauser legacy there is huge.”

“I mean, Samuel T. Hauser was the seventh governor of Montana, helped start that state,” he continued. “So going back there felt like a homecoming for me.”

Hauser previously told Havok Journal that he discovered more about his family history while visiting Montana with his son and had always felt deeply connected to the state before fully understanding why.

That personal connection helped shape the authenticity audiences came to associate with Rip Wheeler over the years.

That authenticity, Hauser believes, is part of the reason audiences around the world connected so deeply with “Yellowstone” and Rip Wheeler.

Hauser believes the emotional attachment audiences have to “Yellowstone” and now “Dutton Ranch” goes beyond just cowboys and ranch life.

“You know, it’s interesting, you know, 10 years ago when we started this, it was really kind of a grassroots show in Montana and then, you know, we grew out to the edges, Los Angeles, now New York, and now the world,” Hauser said.

“I mean, we were just in Europe and it’s amazing to watch, you know, the Germans dress up as cowboys, the English,” he continued. “I’ve been to Australia and New Zealand. I mean just how many people have been touched by it.”

Hauser credited creator Taylor Sheridan’s storytelling and the larger mythology of the American West for the franchise’s worldwide appeal.

“I honestly don’t know other than the tremendous writing and storytelling of Taylor Sheridan,” he said. “I mean, he created unbelievable characters and Montana is a character in its own.”

“And I think people forget how beautiful the Old West is.”

MONTANA RANCH TIED TO ‘YELLOWSTONE’ UNIVERSE HITS MARKET FOR $16.3M

“Dutton Ranch” follows Beth and Rip as they leave Montana behind after the Dutton family sells the Yellowstone ranch, setting out to start over in Texas and trade everything they fought to protect for a far more unpredictable and unforgiving new frontier.

“God, this next iteration, I mean, it has such new challenges,” Hauser said. “Obviously the landscape of Texas, the heat, that was totally different, the new environment, the new characters that come in, the story.”

Still, Hauser said one thing remained essential while stepping back into Rip’s boots.

“What stayed consistent is Beth and Rip,” he said. “Kelly and I were very cognizant of making sure that those two characters continue to be the same polarizing, strong, loyal characters that they’ve always been.”

WATCH: ‘DUTTON RANCH’ DIRECTOR EXPLAINS HOW TEXAS TRANSFORMS THE WORLD OF THE SERIES

Director and executive producer Christina Alexandra Voros said the new setting helped reshape the visual identity of the franchise while preserving its emotional core.

“You weren’t in these soft, green, blue, cloud-topped mountains of Montana,” Voros told Fox News Digital. “You were in this sort of searing heat and dangerous dryness of Texas.”

Voros said the series ultimately becomes “a very classically Western trope of finding your new frontier or building a new legacy.”

WATCH: ‘DUTTON RANCH’ STARS CALL TEXAS MOVE ‘LIKE TAKING MATCHES TO A GASOLINE PARTY’

That evolution is also what actors Marc Menchaca and Juan Pablo Raba said makes the new series feel fresh despite remaining tied to the “Yellowstone” universe.

“It’s exciting watching two of their favorite characters, Beth and Rip, stepping into another world,” Raba told Fox News Digital. “Stepping into Texas. It’s got to be exciting, right? It’s like taking matches to a gasoline party.”

“Dutton Ranch” premieres May 15 on Paramount+ and the Paramount Network.

Nigel Farage bought £1.4m property shortly after receiving £5m gift | Nigel Farage

Nigel Farage bought a £1.4m property in cash shortly after receiving a £5m personal gift from the crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne.

The revelation comes after parliament’s standards watchdog confirmed separately that the Reform UK leader was facing a formal investigation over the gift from the Thai-based businessman.

Asked about the purchase of the property, a Reform UK spokesperson said: “The relevant chronology is straightforward. The offer and purchase process for the property commenced before the gift. Mr Farage had already passed proof of funds and the relevant checks before receiving the gift. The purchase was therefore already proceeding independently of it.”

However, Labour called on the Reform leader to state in full what the £5m, which was first revealed by the Guardian, was used to pay for. Documents reported by Sky News have also been seen by the Guardian.

Anna Turley, the chair of the Labour party, said: “Nigel Farage has repeatedly dodged questions on his multimillion-pound ‘gift’. Now we can see why – this totally stinks. Farage must urgently come clean with the public as to what this £5m was used for and why he failed to declare it.

“The facts are simple. Farage took £5m from a crypto billionaire, tried to cover it up, and bought an expensive house after taking the money. Not only that, he promised to cut taxes on crypto transactions. It’s open and shut conflict of interest.”

Hours earlier, the Reform leader’s name was published on the website of the parliamentary commissioner for standards, which states he is being investigated over an alleged “failure to declare an interest”.

The inquiry was opened on Wednesday, according to the entry, which confirms he is being investigated under rule 5 of the code of conduct for MPs.

Farage has said the gift was intended to cover his personal security costs and therefore did not need to be declared. However, other parties argue that the money from the Thailand-based businessman falls within rules requiring MPs to declare any potentially relevant gifts or donations received in the 12 months before entering parliament.

Rule 5 of the code of conduct obliges MPs to “fulfil conscientiously” requirements relating to their registration of interests. It states that new MPs must register all their current financial interests, and any registrable benefits (other than earnings) received in the 12 months before their election. This must be done within one month of their election, and they must register any change in those registrable interests within 28 days.

Some personal gifts are exempt from the reporting rules if they “could not reasonably be thought by others to be related to membership of the house or to the member’s parliamentary or political activities”, according to the code of conduct and rules for MPs. The rules state: “Both the possible motive of the giver and the use to which the gift is to be put should be considered. If there is any doubt, the benefit should be registered.”

Farage is one of five MPs who are currently the focus of ongoing investigations by the standards watchdog, although he is the only one being investigated under rule five.

If the investigation finds Farage committed a particularly serious breach of parliamentary declaration rules, he could be suspended from the Commons. A suspension of 10 days or more could trigger a recall petition, potentially forcing him to fight again for his Clacton seat.

Scottie Scheffler’s shoes at PGA Championship pay tribute to one of the wildest stories in golf history

Scottie Scheffler will be wearing a pair of golf shoes with a two-word message printed on the bottom of them during the PGA Championship at Aronimink Golf Club this week, and it’s a tip of the cap to one of the wildest stories in golf history.

For years now, Nike has released special-edition golf shoes for each of the four major championships, and this week is no different. The Swoosh brand released three different models for the PGA Championship, all in the same colorway, and all with the word “lost” on the bottom of one shoe and “found” on the other.

The two words are a tribute to Walter Hagen, who won five PGA Championships in his historic career, but it’s specifically his third victory in 1925 and what quickly followed that this week’s shoes pay homage to.

SPIETH EYES THE SLAM, SCHEFFLER FEELS OVERDUE, AND CAM YOUNG’S MAJOR MOMENT TOP PGA CHAMPIONSHIP STORYLINES

After his victory in the then-match-play tournament at Olympia Fields, Hagen handed the Wanamaker Trophy to a cab driver and instructed him to take it to his hotel. The Wanamaker is among the largest trophies in sports, and toting it around for a night of celebration would turn into a challenge.

As it turns out, the trophy never made it to Hagen’s hotel. A major championship trophy was officially lost.

ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!

Equal parts impressive and hilarious, Hagen went on to win the tournament in 1926 and 1927, meaning he was able to avoid having to tell anyone that he had no idea where the Wanamaker was.

According to the PGA, when Hagen arrived at the 1928 PGA, he told officials who asked where the Wanamaker was, “I will win it anyway, so I didn’t bring it.”

Hagen’s luck ran out that year when he lost to Leo Diegel in the quarterfinals at Baltimore Country Club, forcing him to admit that he had lost the trophy a full three years after it had gone missing.

Without a trophy to hand to Diegel, officials were forced to present him with the Maryland Cup Trophy sitting in the country club’s lobby.

All was not lost, at least not forever.

In October 1930, Hagen just so happened to stumble upon the Wanamaker Trophy he and everyone else thought would never be seen again.

“In Detroit last week. Hagen, while going through some old trunks, unearthed a bulky package. Lo, and behold! It was the P.G.A. trophy which had been lost and was found again,” a headline in the New York Evening Journal on Oct. 6, 1930, read.

There you have it, the story of the “lost and found” shoes that Scheffler and other Nike-sponsored players are wearing around Aronimink this week.
