Carlos Beltran and Andrew Jones are the newest members of the Baseball Hall of Fame.

In his fourth appearance on the ballot, Beltran received just over 84% of votes, while Jones was on 78% of the ballots in his ninth appearance.

Beltran played for seven teams over 20 Major League seasons, was a nine-time All-Star, a three-time Gold Glove winner, and one of only five players with at least 400 home runs and 300 steals.

Jones, a five-time All-Star and ten-time Gold Glover, spent 17 years in the bigs, but was most known for his time with the Braves, where in 1996 he became the youngest player to homer in a World Series game.

There's a new champion of college football.

Kurt Cignetti completed one of the all-time great turnarounds Monday night, leading Indiana to its first college football national championship.

The Hoosiers beat Miami 27-21 with Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Fernando Mendoza scoring on a 4th and 5 in the 4th quarter to give Indiana some breathing room.

Mendoza weaves his way first and goes diving toward the end zone.

Sound courtesy of ESPN as Indiana put the game on ice with less than a minute remaining, intercepting Miami quarterback Carson Beck.

When Cignetti took over the Indiana program two years ago, the school had never seen a 10-win season.

Under Cignetti, Indiana has just completed a perfect 16-0 campaign.

The longest-tenured head coach in major American professional sports is walking away.

Mike Tomlin stepped down Tuesday after 19 seasons as head coach of the Steelers, during which Pittsburgh never had a losing season.

Tomlin, who has two years remaining on his contract, informed Steelers players of his decision less than 24 hours after losing in the wild-card round to the Texans.

Tomlin led the Steelers to a Super Bowl championship, eight AFC North titles, and 13 playoff appearances, though the postseason success came early on in his career.

Thank you for joining me for the 52 episode podcast series, The Life of Jesus.

In a statement, Steelers president Art Rooney II said in part, quote, Obviously, I am extremely grateful to Mike for all the hard work, dedication, and success we have shared over the last 19 years.

It is hard for me to put into words the level of respect and appreciation I have for Coach Tomlin.
