INDIANAPOLIS -- Teenage racer Colton Herta might have been the feature attraction of just about any other major driver announcement.On Thursday, the American teenager took a backseat to everyone else on center stage -- Yankees owner Hank Steinbrenner, son George Steinbrenner IV and former racing star Michael Andretti.The Steinbrenners and Andretti announced that two of Americas best-known sports families were becoming co-owners of an Indy Lights Series team next season and that the 16-year-old Herta will drive the No. 98 car.Its going to be awesome, Herta said. Its cool walking around the factory here and seeing all the old faces I havent seen for a few years.With Herta as the driver and the 20-year-old Steinbrenner IV serving as team principle, it could be one of the youngest pairings in IndyCar history.But there will be an all-star lineup to help out the youngsters.Andretti now has four cars in the second-tier Indy Lights and four more in the IndyCar Series.And while all of the drivers in the developmental series are under age 25, the primary series has a star-studded cast: 35-year-old Ryan Hunter-Reay, the 2014 Indianapolis 500 winner; 25-year-old Alexander Rossi, who won last years 500 as a rookie; 29-year-old Marco Andretti, the 2006 runner-up at Indy; and 39-year-old Takuma Sato.Need more?Michael Andretti, Marcos father, and former world champion Mario Andretti, Michaels father, will help get the Steinbrenners up to speed on succeeding in their newest venture.And if thats still not enough, Herta can always call his father, Bryan, a former driver for Andretti Autosport who won the 2011 Indianapolis 500 as the car owner for the late Dan Wheldon. The younger Herta said he wanted No. 98 as a tribute to Wheldon, a two-time 500 winner, and intends to use an updated version of his fathers helmet design.Not surprisingly, the Steinbrenners enter the business with big expectations.I met Colton about four years ago when he was racing in the Skip Barber Series, George Steinbrenner IV said. Weve kind of kept in touch ever since. I feel like we know how we can work together to the point that we can start winning races this year.Herta appears to have a promising future after winning the 2013 Pacific Formula F1600 championship, finishing third in the 2015 MSA Formula championship and winning four times in Europe last year. He will now compete full-time in his home country for the first time since 2014.Andretti also has a solid track record working with young drivers, including Carlos Munoz in 2012. Four years later, the Colombian racer is becoming one of fastest rising names in the primary series.For the Steinbrenners, getting involved in racing is not a hobby.As a kid growing up, I really liked open-wheel racing -- Formula One and IndyCar. Thats what I loved, those two and drag racing, top fuel, Hank Steinbrenner said. I was a big Jim Clark fan in Formula One and I was a Mario fan in IndyCar. I followed Mario very closely, and you could put him in anything and he could win.Hank Steinbrenner said he and his father, George III, shared a passion for horse racing and automobile racing, a passion apparently that has been passed down to George IV.So all Herta must do now is put one of racings most impressive brand names in Victory Lane.Its a match made in heaven, Michael Andretti said. My goal is not to have ever them (the Steinbrenners) ever want to leave. I wanted to do it together because I think it could be stronger for both of us. Cesar Azpilicueta Jersey . It was hard for Luck to pull off another comeback, or even get into the end zone, while standing on the sideline. Rivers threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to rookie Keenan Allen and Nick Novak kicked four field goals to give the Chargers a 19-9 victory against the Colts on Monday night. Gary Cahill Jersey . Fernandez, coached in Toronto by former two-time Olympic silver medallist Brian Orser, scored 267.11 points and is the first champion to successfully defend since Russias Evgeny Plushenko in 2005 and 2006. http://www.chelseafcproshop.com/ . "Theyve both been real good," said Babcock. "Havent changed our minds." A decision has seemingly been made - Sundays Group B-deciding tilt against Finland ahead - but it could not have been an easy one. Price opened the tournament with a sturdy 19-save performance against the Norwegians, yielding just one goal. Antonio Rudiger Jersey . Vokoun departed practice on Saturday morning after discovering swelling in his thigh. He was taken to a local hospital where the clot was revealed. The club announced the surgery following a 5-3 exhibition loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets. Davide Zappacosta Jersey . From filmmaker Nanette Burstein (On the Ropes), The Price of Gold revisits the saga that rocked the figure skating world ahead of the 1994 Lillehammer Olympic Winter Games: the assault on Nancy Kerrigan, and the plot that led its way back to her rival Tonya Harding. TORONTO -- Torontos bullpen is beginning to sag as the Blue Jays try to clinch the first American League wild-card spot.It could not come at a worse time but it has given the Baltimore Orioles some hope.The Orioles scored three times in the final two innings against the Blue Jays bullpen Wednesday to earn a 3-2 victory that moved them to within one game of Toronto for the first wild card.The teams will play the rubber match of the three-game series Thursday at Rogers Centre and it could be a pivotal game to determine home-field advantage in the wild-card game.Each team enters Thursday with four games remaining in the regular season.Ubaldo Jimenez (7-12, 5.71 ERA) will start for the Orioles and Marcus Stroman (9-9, 4.34 ERA) will start for the Blue Jays.The Blue Jays appeared poised to open a three-game lead on Wednesday as they held a 2-0 advantage after seven innings.Then the bullpen sprung leaks.Jason Grilli gave up a solo homer to Mark Trumbo in the eighth and pinch hitter Hyun Soo Kim hit a two-run homer against closer Roberto Osuna in the ninth.It was big, said Orioles starter Chris Tillman, who did not factor in the decision. I think that could push a team a long way in wins. It was a big team win and I think everyone played a part in it.This is a very tough place to play, Trumbo said. The fans, theyre always giving it to you and theyre very passionate. Sometimes its tough to get something going, but a moment like that, that was big for us.The Blue Jays suffered a blow this week when Joaquin Benoit suffered a torn calf muscle as he ran from the bullpen to participate in the melee with the New York Yankees on Monday. The Blue Jays would have to play deep into October before Benoit, who has been a key performer in the seventh inning, could return.It is going to put pressuure on the rest of the bullpen and the early results are not encouraging.ddddddddddddGrilli, who has been the eighth-inning reliever, has a 9.15 ERA in 11 September outings. He has allowed five runs in his past two outings, a total of one inning.Osuna has an 8.10 ERA over his past six outings. He is 1-1 with two saves and two blown saves.I feel good. Im not worried at all, Osuna said. Were going to be fine. Were playing against the best teams in the major leagues in our division and stuff like today it happens sometimes. But Im not worried at all and I think were going to be in a good position for the next four games.Brett Cecil might become a key performer in the remaining games and he pitched a solid inning Wednesday.Stroman will be looking for his first win since Aug. 14 Thursday.In seven starts since his last win, he is 0-4 with a 3.32 ERA and the team is 2-5. He held the Yankees to one hit, three walks and no runs over seven innings Saturday but did not factor into the decision in the game won on Jose Bautistas three-run homer in the eighth. Stroman is 1-1 with a 7.88 ERA in three starts this season against the Orioles. In six career games, including five starts, against Baltimore, he is 2-2 with a 5.29 ERA.Jimenez will be trying for his third win in September, and his third win since the All-Star break, on Thursday. He is 2/3 with one save and a 3.17 ERA in 11 games, including seven starts, since the All-Star break. He is 2-1 with a 2.88 ERA in four starts in September. In four game (three starts) against the Blue Jays this season, he is 0-1 with a 9.42 ERA. He is 6-5 with a 4.84 ERA in 17 career games, including 15 starts, against Toronto.
