The Weekly Shakedown

(Every week there are a number of stories slip through the cracks here at ShakedownSports. These are just a few of them.)

–C.C. Sabathia was named Cleveland’s athlete of the year, beating out Lebron James and Braylon Edwards. That’s not all. For his role in helping the Red Sox advance to the World Series Sabathia is also in the running to be named Boston’s athlete of the year.

–Warriors forward Matt Barnes was forbidden to play in a game earlier this week because a clerical error left him off the Warriors active roster. Instead of including Barnes, the roster listed Mickael Pietrus in two spots. The Warriors say they will no longer let Pietrus’ mom type up the roster.

–A brawl outside a high school basketball game resulted in two injured police officers and 15 teenagers being placed under arrest. It looks like somebody’s ready for college….

–The Suns announced plans to play an outdoor preseason game next October at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden. Only one official will be allowed on the floor and he’ll have to sit in a chair at half court, but if anything that will make the officiating better.
