Noah Syndergaard's Game 3 ball he threw at Alcides Escobar's head is for sale

Mets starter Noah Syndergaard opened Game 3 of the World Series with a 99 mph fastball that buzzed by the head of Kansas City Royals shortstop Alcides Escobar. 

Syndergaard, sounding a little peeved at the Royals' quick triggers before the game, pretty much predicted this scenario earlier as the Mets entered the night down 0-2 in the World Series.

"I have a few tricks up my sleeve that I'll be able to break out tomorrow night," the hurler said Thursday. "I'm looking forward to it." 

And it didn't take long to figure out what "tricks" he was talking about.

And before you could say Mrs. Met, that same baseball was already available on Major League Baseball's auction site.

There are six days left to bid and the latest offer is already $1522, so who knows how high the price will climb.

But don't expect any bids on Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas' reaction to Syndergaard's chin music, that's priceless.

Go to bed kids, Mike Moustakas is cursing at folks. #WorldSeries #Royals #Mets https://t.co/kl4BkC1uR8

Anti-Redskins ad airs during Heat-Spurs Game 3 (VIDEO)

A northern California tribe of Native Americans  paid for a commercial which aired in seven major U.S. cities during halftime of Tuesday's NBA Finals game. 

The powerful 60-second spot was aimed at sending its message directly to the Washington Redskins.

The video, which initially appeared online in time for the Super Bowl, was the most visible of the group's pleas for the NFL team to change its “racist” name and mascot.

“In my opinion, the ‘r’ word is just as derogatory a slur as the ‘n’ word,” Marshall McKay, chairman of the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation, said in a video about the “Change the Mascot” campaign.

The commercial, called “Proud to Be,” is a shortened version of a similar ad that was posted online earlier this year. In it, a narrator lists adjectives that could describe Native Americans — “Indian,” “Navajo, “Sioux,” "Spiritualist,” “strong” — before the camera zooms in on a Redskins helmet, “the one thing they don’t” call themselves.

Here's the long version:

The ad, which premiered Sunday night in Miami during Game 2 of the NBA finals, was slated to play in Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, New York, Sacramento, San Francisco and Washington, D.C. during the Game 3 broadcast.

The tribe wouldn’t say how much it paid for the prime TV spot, except that it was a “substantial” amount.

The video was produced by the agency goodness Mfg., in association with the National Congress of American Indians.

Despite a burgeoning effort to change their team name, the Washington Redskins have refused to budge. Redskins President Bruce Allen recently wrote a letter to senators stating the team “has always been respectful of and shown reverence toward the proud legacy and traditions of Native Americans.”

Heat player's private chef fatally shot at Miami nightclub before Game 3: Report

Some Miami Heat players had a heavy heart going into Game 3 Tuesday night after finding out the private chef employed by guard Norris Cole was shot and killed inside a popular South Beach nightclub early Tuesday.

Antaun Teasley was found unresponsive inside Club Mansion and that he had been in a fight with a man in the VIP area shortly before he was found, said police.

The 42-year-old Teasley was taken to a Miami hospital, where he died.

Teasley's death was announced hours before Cole and the Miami Heat would play Game 3 of the NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs in Miami Tuesday night. 

On Twitter, Heat guard Mario Chalmers called the news "crazy." Chalmers also used to employ Teasley several years ago and he also worked for some Miami Dolphins players.

The last tweet posted to Teasley's account was a photo of a meal apparently prepared  Monday afternoon — a sweet potato frittata, summer salad with raspberry vinaigrette, turkey sausage and a beet juice.

Also in the photo was a pair of Heat championship rings and a miniature Larry O'Brien Trophy, a replica of the one presented annually to the NBA champions.

"A great person to be around," Chalmers tweeted about Teasley after the Heat finished their shootaround practice Tuesday morning. 

"Never in a bad mood always smiling."
