WHAT THEY MIGHT BE DOING TODAY ...

Animal Kingdom might be the next Triple Crown winner. Sure, there hasn't been one since 1978, but we can hope.

Rene Rivera might be just another spare part in a Twins lineup full of spare parts.

Willie Mays might be going strong at age 80.

FIVE THINGS

The Giants threw a birthday party for the Say Hey Kid on Friday night. Mays is the 14th-oldest living Baseball Hall of Famer; the top five:

• Lee MacPhail, 93 (Oct. 25, 1917)

• Bobby Doerr, 93 (April 17, 1918)

• Monte Irvin, 92 (Feb. 25, 1919)

• Stan Musial, 90 (Nov. 21, 1920)

• Ralph Kiner, 88 (Oct. 27, 1922)

QUOTE OF THE DAY

"Every day, she would wake up whether she wasn't feeling good or sick. When you don't have much and you need to be at work, there's no such thing as being sick. To see her do that, it inspired me and my brothers and sisters."

-- Scott Brooks, the Thunder coach/former Wolves guard crediting his mother, Lee, for his NBA success.
