Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani named Major League Baseball MVPs
After facing off in the 2024 World Series, New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge and Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani have been named the MLB American League and National League MVPs respectively. Both players earned their new titles unanimously after votes were cast by members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America. This is Ohtani’s 3rd time winning this title, having won in 2021 and 2023 during his time on the Los Angeles Angels, becoming only the second player in history to be crowned in both the National and American Leagues. Judge earns his second MVP title, also having won in 2022.
Jason Kelce to host new late night television show on ESPN
They Call It Late Night with Jason Kelce will air Friday nights on ESPN in the 1 AM hour from January 4 through February 1. News of the show was announced when the former Philadelphia Eagles star made an appearance on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Thursday.

On this day in 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated
61 years after the tragic event, Americans everywhere still remember the legacy the 35th president left behind. John F. Kennedy inspired a new generation of leadership, guiding the country through times of civil unrest, promoting peace, and fighting for equal rights for all Americans. His untimely passing devastated the nation, many today still remembering where they were when they heard the news. Honor JFK today by asking those of older generations how they remember his presidency, researching his many achievements, or by participating in a moment of silence.
National Love Your Freckles Day is celebrated
Celebrated annually on November 22, National Love Your Freckles Day celebrates the beauty of all freckled faces. Freckles can either be a genetic trait or a result of sun exposure, and while most commonly appearing amongst fair skinned individuals and redheads, anyone of any skin type can have freckles. Celebrate the holiday by appreciating your own freckles or compliment someone close to you who has that special sunkissed skin.
