Hunter Dobbins will toe the slab for the Boston Red Sox in the Bronx on Sunday night as the team faces their AL East rival New York Yankees.

The only time Dobbins ever wants to pitch at Yankee Stadium is for the road team. 

"My dad was a die-hard Red Sox fan," the 25-year-old right-hander told the Boston Herald. "And I’ve said it before, that if the Yankees were the last team to give me a contract, I’d retire."

Its only right Dobbins was drafted by Boston in the eighth round of the 2021 Amateur Draft out of Texas Tech given his loyalty to the franchise. 

He even said he wasn’t as attached to the Red Sox as his father was, but "I think out of disdain for the Yankees, I watched anybody but them."

There have been plenty of times in professional sports where players, and subsequently their relatives, change alliances they’ve had throughout their lives because they now play for a specific team.

Dobbins hopes that he can have a long career with the Red Sox and not have to worry about a potential Yankees contract. But no one truly knows how their career will shake out. 

There was one Yankees player, though, that Dobbins tipped his cap to even today. 

"Can I say all of them but Andy Pettitte?" he responded when asked who his least favorite Yankee was. "Andy Pettitte and my dad were really good friends."

This is Dobbins’ first season with the Red Sox, where he’s had seven starts out of his nine appearances. 

In 44.1 innings, Dobbins has given up 20 earned runs for a 4.06 ERA with 37 strikeouts to 10 walks. He also has a 1.331 WHIP. 

Dobbins finds himself in position to help his Red Sox beat the Yankees in their first series of the year. Boston took down New York, 10-7, on Saturday night after getting to New York starter Ryan Yarbrough early. 

The Yankees are in first place in the AL East at 39-24, while the Red Sox’s victory brought them to 31-35.

Former NFL cornerback Kelvin Joseph was arrested after he was allegedly involved in a crash that killed a female motorcyclist in Texas, police said.

Richardson police announced on social media that Joseph reported his involvement in the crash that occurred in the early hours of Saturday. 

"Richardson Police Department Officers contacted Joseph and determined he was northbound on North Central Expressway in a BMW sedan when he was involved in a collision with the motorcycle," police said. "While speaking with Joseph, officers observed signs of intoxication. Joseph was subsequently arrested and charged with Driving While Intoxicated (Misdemeanor B) and Collision Involving Personal Injury or Death (2nd Degree Felony)."

Police add that Cody Morris, a 27-year-old from Plano, died in the crash.

Joseph, 25, has been playing in the United Football League with the DC Defenders this spring.

The UFL acknowledged Joseph’s arrest in a statement to Dallas-area TV station WFAA, but declined any further comment. 

Joseph was a second-round pick of the Dallas Cowboys in 2021 after playing for both LSU and Kentucky in college. 

He played 10 games his rookie year in Dallas (two starts) with 16 combined tackles and two passes defended over that time. However, a serious off-the-field issue occurred during the 2022 offseason. 

Joseph was a passenger inside a vehicle where two others with him fired shots into a group of men in Dallas, fatally striking a man in the head. Police found that Joseph wasn’t the shooter, and the NFL didn’t suspend him. 

Joseph went on to play 16 games for Dallas in 2022, totaling 20 tackles with two passes defended and one forced fumble. But he started to bounce around from there. 

He spent time with two teams in 2023, first with the Miami Dolphins for four games and then the Seattle Seahawks for one game. 

Joseph went on to play just two games as an Indianapolis Colts cornerback, which were his last in the NFL to date.
