Hawthorn 300-gamer Sam Mitchell has won four premierships but none fill him with as much pride as the cultural change at the AFL club.Mitchell will play his 300th match on Sunday, when the triple reigning premiers face Richmond at the MCG.The 33-year-old is unsure when he will retire and says hes most proud of the small part he has played in changing the Hawks culture under Alastair Clarkson.Mitchell was drafted in 2001, while Clarkson was appointed coach three years later.The whole journey has been ups and downs, ups and downs. Weve been up for a little while now, the former skipper said of the ladder leaders.When you go back to when Clarko first came, we sort of completely changed the culture of the place.It took a long time and a lot of hard work and I guess when I leave, the legacy well leave is an improved culture at the place.If my son ends up playing footy Id be really proud if he came into a culture like what Hawthorn has now ... whereas I maybe wouldnt have been able to say that when I first got here.Having an influence on that change .. thats probably the proudest big picture thing.Mitchell is completing an MBA and has an interest in coaching, setting him up well for life after football.But the midfielder hasnt given up hope of featuring in a few more flags just yet.I wont say no, Mitchell said, when asked about the prospect of breaking the 400-game barrier.Ive got no idea. If you had of asked me at 200 if 300 was a possibility I wouldnt have known. Because so many things can happen.John Riggins Jersey .

Nine days before the opening ceremony, organizing committee chief Dmitry Chernyshenko said Wednesday that Sochi is "fully ready" and will deliver safe, friendly and well-run games that defy the grim reports that have overshadowed preparations. Dwayne Haskins Youth Jersey . -- Anaheim Ducks captain and leading scorer Ryan Getzlaf has been scratched from Sunday nights game against the Vancouver Canucks because of an upper-body injury. Dwayne Haskins Womens Jersey . Its 1987 and a Brazilian playmaker, known as Mirandinha, is being paraded around St James Park to the passionate Newcastle fans.CINCINNATI -- The Atlanta Braves were hoping for a spark when they fired manager Fredi Gonzalez on May 17 and named Brian Snitker interim skipper. Things got better, but in truth they couldnt have gotten much worse after an 11-28 start. Under Snitker, the Braves went 23-32, but still reside in last place in the National League East.Atlanta is looking to get back on track Monday when it begins a three-game series against another last-place club with a manager on the hot seat -- Bryan Price and the Cincinnati Reds. The teams split a four-game series at Turner Field in June.One of the key components in the Reds rebuilding effort -- left-hander Brandon Finnegan -- will start the series opener. Its his second career start against the Braves.Finnegan was singled out by Price as being among the young pitchers the Reds want to limit innings in the second half. The left-hander, who was acquired last July from the Kansas City Royals in the Johnny Cueto trade, has tossed 101 1/3 innings already this season over 18 starts. His nine quality starts are tied with Dan Straily for the team lead.On Monday, Finnegan will be looking for a little good fortune after three times being the victim of a blown save, tying him for most on the staff. He also was the starter when the Cubs Jake Arrieta no-hit Cincinnati on April 21.Atlanta will counter with right-hander Matt Wisler who defeated the Reds on June 16 when he allowed two earned runs in 6 2/3 innings in a 7-2 win at Turner Field. Wisler is 4-8 with a 4.47 ERA in 18 appearances including 17 starts.The Reds, who took the seriess from Milwaukee with a 1-0 walk-off victory on Sunday, have been working with a thin bench, with second baseman Brandon Phillips out with a strained calf muscle.dddddddddddd Outfielder Kyle Waldrop was recalled from Triple-A on Sunday to give them another able bat.Phillips was out of the lineup again on Sunday, but he is likely to return for the opener against Atlanta.Hes better than he was the day before, said Price of Phillips. Hopefully, hell be ready tomorrow. Its essentially a three-man bench. (Waldrop) did a nice job off the bench for us his last time here. You know I dont like for young players to come up here and sit on the bench for more than 10 to 14 days before getting back to getting regular at-bats.The Braves also won 1-0 in the bottom of the ninth inning on Sunday when Chase dArnaud drove in the winning run with a single.The Braves bullpen struggled Friday and Saturday, but did the job Sunday, as four relievers combined to pitch two shutout innings.The first series back from a break is always kind of tricky, said Jim Johnson, the last of the Braves relievers Sunday and the winning pitcher. Guys are usually in rhythm and then you have all those days off. I think it was more kind of being out of sync for some of us. You saw the wild pitches the first two games and some uncharacteristic walks for some guys, myself included. Thats an excuse, but we need to just focus on doing our jobs and throwing competitive pitches. ' ' '
