The 2023 Espys looked a little different this year, going without a host for the first time in its 31-year history amid the Hollywood writers strike. The sports celebrations carried on, though, with athletes across various games uniting at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles on Wednesday night.
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was the night’s big winner, taking home both best athlete, men’s sports and best NFL player, with the Chiefs also winning for best team. Mikaela Shiffrin (best athlete, women’s sports), Angel Reese (best breakthrough athlete), LeBron James (best record-breaking performance) and Lionel Messi (best championship performance) were also among the top honorees.
Presenters included Damar Hamlin, Dwyane Wade, Travis Kelce, Sue Bird, Mike Tyson and Livvy Dunne, with performances by Lil Wayne and H.E.R. — who performed a tribute to the 30th anniversary of the V Foundation and Jim Valvano’s iconic Espys speech in...

It's early in the 1947 season. Each time the Brooklyn Dodgers' first baseman comes up to bat, manager Ben Chapman emerges from the dugout, stands on the field and taunts him with increasingly personal and vitriolic attacks.
