You can order one of three new coffee milkshakes at Häagen-Dazs shops nationwide. The Coffee Shake, Mocha Shake, and Caramel Shake will grace menus offering fans a refreshing way to enjoy their midday brew. All three shakes are topped with a generous portion of whipped cream to complement the ice cream’s bold taste. 

The Coffee Shake features a velvety smooth blend of Häagen-Dazs coffee ice cream filling each sip with pure brewed flavor. Belgian chocolate ice cream and coffee ice cream team up for the Mocha Shake, an indulgent and energizing treat that includes a garnish of crunchy chocolate cookie pieces. 

The Caramel Coffee Shake includes the deep and sweet taste of caramel both in the cup and as a finishing drizzle. For this shake, dulce de leche ice cream and coffee ice cream are mixed to create the ideal balance of flavors that will remind you of your favorite frozen coffee shop order, but in a rich and creamy dessert form.

The National Baseball Hall of Fame welcomed Jeff Kent, Andruw Jones and Carlos Beltrán on Sunday in Cooperstown, New York.

The Clark Sports Center was home to more than 60 Hall of Famers. They came to watch the newest members of the Hall hold their plaques and deliver emotional speeches.

Beltrán, who turned down an opportunity to manage the New York Mets this summer, but would love to have the job if offered again, spoke for 30 minutes about what his induction means to him.

He grew up in Puerto Rico, and believed one day that he’d become a professional baseball player, but never, ever, did he imagine that he’d be a Hall of Famer.

Beltrán and Jones are just the third and fourth center fielders elected by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America in nearly half a century. Since Duke Snider went in with the Class of 1980, only Kirby Puckett (2001) and Ken Griffey Jr. (2016) were counted as center fielders elected by the BBWAA until this year.

Kent, who was elected by the Contemporary Baseball Era Committee at the Winter Meetings last December, is the first second baseman to join the Hall since another Astro: Craig Biggio in 2015.

The New York Mets just spent three months finding out what happens when you go with veteran pitches who have failed the year before during their epic collapse, and it hasn’t been a pretty lesson to watch.

The Mets bent over backwards to give chance after chance to the lines of Kodai Senga, Sean Manaea, David Peterson and Clay Holmes, and what they’ve seen is one failure after another.

It’s time for something different. Holmes is the only one of those hurlers who’s still in the picture in any viable way, and Senga will likely follow Peterson out the door very soon.

The Mets have an opportunity to do something very different. Nolan McLean has had some struggles with command and inconsistency, but he’s shown enough when he’s on to indicate that he could at least be a good pitcher at the top of a successful rotation.

Chrisitan Scott has shown that he, too, can be part of the same effort. He may end up being a third or fourth starter, but Scott has had enough success for the Mets to continue to give him run.

In a heartwarming ode to its roots, Häagen-Dazs unveils two new flavors, inviting ice cream enthusiasts to savor the essence of tradition and innovation. The release marks the ice cream brand’s first original flavors since 2024, signaling a return to its pioneering spirit.

Titled “New York Strawberry Cheesecake” and “Vanilla Caramel Pecan,” these creations embody the legacy of Häagen-Dazs founders, Rose and Reuben Mattus, who embarked on a journey from Poland to New York City. 

The former flavor, New York Strawberry Cheesecake, pays homage to the city’s famed dessert, blending velvety cheesecake ice cream with a swirl of strawberry sauce and delicate graham cracker crust pieces. Meanwhile, Vanilla Caramel Pecan reimagines a beloved classic, pairing creamy vanilla ice cream with decadent caramel sauce and caramelized toasted pecans.

The new flavors join the brand’s recent innovations, including Chocolate Cookie Crumble and Dulce de Leche bars, as well as a miniature version of its popular Vanilla Milk Chocolate bars.

Spain defeated Lionel Messi’s Argentina 1-0 in extra time to win the 2026 World Cup.

Substitute Ferran Torres struck in the second half of extra time to secure Spain’s second World Cup after a disappointing Argentina were reduced to 10 men.

The defending champions did not register an attempt on goal until the 117th minute and fell short in their bid to become only the third nation to retain the World Cup.

Instead, Messi’s glorious World Cup career ended in heartbreak at the age of 39.  

Ben Rice hit two home runs to help the New York Yankees to a 12-4 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday. The Yankees (51-42) split the four-game series with the Rays at Tropicana Field, remaining four games behind Tampa Bay (54-37) for first place in the AL East.

With his two homers, Rice now has 28 for the season, one fewer than the Houston Astros’ Yordan Alvarez for the AL home-run lead. He moved past the Rays’ Junior Caminero with his second home run on Thursday.

Caminero briefly moved ahead of Rice with his 27th homer of the season in the first inning off Yankees opener Paul Blackburn. That was his first home run in his past five games, following an 11-game span during which he hit 11 homers.

Rice finished the day batting 2-for-4 with 2 home runs and 5 RBI. With 65 RBI, the Yankees’ DH now ranks third in that category among AL sluggers behind Alvarez and Athletics first baseman Nick Kurtz.

Ryan McMahon also drove in two runs for the Yankees, with Trent Grisham, Jazz Chisholm Jr., Cody Bellinger, José Caballero and Austin Wells each getting an RBI. Wells got his on his fifth home run of the season.

The World Cup final match in New Jersey will be contested between defending champion Argentina and slight favorite, Spain.

Argentina, trailing (1-0) late, rallied to defeat England (2-1), getting the winning tally from substitute player, Lauturo Martinez in extra time.

Meanwhile Spain, as was Argentina a match underdog, won (2-0) vs France.

Spain has allowed but one goal in its 7 matches thus far.

Aaron Judge’s habit of hitting home runs and making himself a lot of money is well known. However, his home runs have also started making other people money as well…a lot of money.

The historic 62nd home run ball hit by Aaron Judge during his magical 2022 campaign went put on the auction block this week by Goldin Auctions and sold for a whopping $1.5 million. The 62nd dinger – a 391-foot shot over the left-field wall at Globe Life field in Arlington, Texas – broke Roger Maris’ American League record of 61 home runs hit in 1961.

The ball was caught by Cory Youmans, a Rangers fan and VP at Fisher Investments, at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.

The auction price of Judge’s home run ball comes in at roughly half of the $3.05 million that Mark McGwire’s record-setting 70th home run ball fetched in 1998.

Judge recently signed a 9-year $360 million deal to remain with the Yankees.

NEW YORK — You are invited to Hoops Cabaret New York, called the world’s sexiest sports bar, to watch UFC Fight Night featuring Dricus DuPlessis vs Kamaru Usman in the main event, Saturday night, July 18.

UFC Fight Night looks to deliver a can’t-miss card filled with thrilling matchups featuring some of UFC’s biggest stars, top contenders and rising prospects. Fans can expect a night of excitement and entertainment as UFC continues to bring the best in mixed martial arts to cities around the world.

Dricus Du Plessis

• Record: 23-3 MMA, 9-1 UFC
• Division: Middleweight
• Key wins: Sean Strickland, Israel Adesanya, Robert Whittaker, Derek Brunson, Darren Till, Brad Tavares, Trevin Giles
• Misc.: He tore through the middleweight division to get a title shot 2.5 years ago and eked out the belt over Strickland, but he lost it 11 months ago after a pair of title defenses to Khamzat Chimaev. Chimaev lost the belt to Strickland, though – whom DDP has a pair of wins over. So getting back on track against an ex-champion in Usman,  albeit an ex-champ at a lower weight, is of utmost importance to the South African.  

Kamaru Usman

• Record: 21-4 MMA, 16-3 UFC
• Division: Middleweight
• Key wins: Joaquin Buckley, Colby Covington (twice), Jorge Masvidal (twice), Gilbert Burns, Colby Covington, Tyron Woodley, Rafael dos Anjos, Demian Maia, Sean Strickland, Leon Edwards
• Misc.: Usman escaped a possible UFC career-ending loss when he had a Fight of the Night with Joaquin Buckley 13 months ago to snap a three-fight skid. Those losses came when he was upset by Leon Edwards to lose the welterweight title in 2022, then dropped a rematch to him. He moved up to middleweight in 2023 to fight Khamzat Chimaev, but had a third straight setback. The Buckley win back at 170 was crucial, but the 39-year-old has been out more than a year.  

Other exciting matches:

CHASE HOOPER vs. MITCH RAMIREZ

The 2026 Major League Baseball All-Star Game is going to look a little strange due to all the big-name stars either dealing with injuries or having bad seasons. 

• Aaron Judge, voted in as a starter, will miss the game due to a rib injury.
• Mike Trout, also voted in as a starter, is on the injured list (hamstring), although he’s hoping to play in his first All-Star Game since 2019.
• All-Star mainstay Jose Ramirez is having his worst season and is also on the IL (hand).
• Francisco Lindor has played just 31 games because of a left calf injury.
• Mookie Betts has been hot of late but missed time with an oblique injury and got off to a slow start.
• Cal Raleigh, last year’s American League MVP runner-up, is still struggling with a batting average well under .200.
• Future Hall of Famer Manny Machado is likewise scuffling with a sub-.200 average.

The 96th MLB All-Star Game presented by Mastercard will take place on July 14 at Philadelphia’s Citizens Bank Park, airing on FOX at 8 p.m. ET.
