While playing San Diego last week, the Los Angeles Dodgers hit four home runs in a row in the ninth inning to erase a four-run deficit and force extra innings.

Dodgers manager Grady Little said the credit for the outburst should go to the team's third-base coach, who had the foresight to give the "hit a home run" sign four times in a row.

Japanese golfer Mitsuhiro Tateyama set a national tournament record last week by taking 19 strokes on a par-3 hole.

Tateyama reportedly hit a good drive but had an extremely difficult time getting the ball into the clown's mouth.

During Sunday's win against the Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers' quarterback Brett Favre threw the 400th touchdown of his career.

After the game, Lions general manager Matt Millen applauded Favre on his accomplishment and said he hopes the Lions score the 400th touchdown in franchise history soon.

Southern Cal officials are upset that ABC broadcaster Brent Musburger revealed the meaning of one of Trojans quarterback John David Booty's hand signals on the air last week.

In a related story, ABC officials are still trying to decipher the meaning of the hand signal that several thousand MSU fans were seen giving John L. Smith after Saturday's game.
