July 4th's Greatest Sports Moments, MLB Midseason Surprises & Ovechkin Returns

The Fourth of July has produced some of the most unforgettable moments in sports history, and Larry Smith counts down the five greatest—from Lou Gehrig's iconic "Luckiest Man Alive" speech to Jack Johnson's Fight of the Century, Nolan Ryan's 3,000th strikeout, and some truly unbelievable baseball feats.Before the countdown, Larry and Producer Tony take a deep dive into the first half of the Major League Baseball season, discussing the biggest surprise teams, trade deadline storylines, Paul Skenes' puzzling struggles, the Yankees' concerns without Aaron Judge, and why the Padres have fallen apart. Plus, the latest from the WNBA All-Star selections, Alex Ovechkin returns for another NHL season, and today's Moment of Awe recalls the 1944 fire that ultimately helped bring Major League Baseball back to Baltimore. It's a holiday weekend packed with sports history, great stories, and plenty of debate.
