 (CNN) — We’ve had people tracking their bags when airlines can’t find them. Now here’s something new: a passenger tracking an item she left on a plane — to an airport employee’s home.Earlier in March, Alisabeth Hayden, from Washington state in the US, was separated from her AirPods — Apple’s pricey micro headphones — while disembarking from a plane in San Francisco. She swiftly realized that they appeared to have been stolen.But after nearly two weeks, she had them back — thanks to her tenacious tracking abilities.Hayden was flying back from a trip to Tokyo to visit her husband, who is on secondment in the military, when she was parted from the earphones.Disembarking from the plane at San Francisco International Airport — and a little disoriented after a nine-hour flight from Tokyo — she left her denim jacket on her seat, at the back of the plane.“I realized before I was even off the plane,” sh...

Orioles observations on DL Hall’s ‘all-time high’ feel for his pitches, Tyler Wells’ final audition and more

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:31:39 GMT

The slow start to spring training might have set DL Hall’s timeline back, but it didn’t alter his stuff.After his second spring outing Saturday, Hall was encouraged by how his pitches performed against a Pittsburgh Pirates lineup mostly filled with regulars.“My feel is probably at an all-time high,” Hall said. “My feel for all my pitches has been great.”Hall, the Orioles’ No. 2 pitching prospect, worked 2 1/3 innings in relief and threw 50 pitches — another step as the 24-year-old continues building up as a starter. He allowed one run on two hits and two walks while striking out three, displaying the pitch arsenal that made him a first-round selection in 2017 and ranked as a consensus top-100 prospect.“The stuff was really good again tonight,” manager Brandon Hyde said. “Really impressed with the strike throwing. The strike-throwing ability the last couple times has been really good. Good changeup, good slider with hi...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:31:39 GMT

Garnet Hathaway looks ready for the playoffs to start. And the Maine native has looked ready to be a Bruin his whole life.Hathaway was front and center in a taut, grind-it-out game against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday. He stood toe-to-toe with big Pat Maroon in a fight to start the game and then scored what turned out to be the game-winning goal late in the second period in the B’s Atlantic Division-clinching 2-1 win over the Bolts.Hathaway is exactly what the Bruins bargained for when they got him in a trade with the Washington Capitals with Dmitry Orlov.“He’s been great,” said Patrice Bergeron, whose line was often checked by Hathaway’s line before the trade. “I’ve always liked his game. I guess you don’t like playing against him, but he’s very efficient, very good for his team. He came in and fit in nicely on that line, but also off the ice. He’s a great guy. He seems to be a character guy. He’s leading his own way, leading b...
