Seemed like this feature got some good feedback last week, so we'll keep it going. Let's look at a round up of all the biggest news and notes from the last week around the league.
- We got some terrible news this week when we found out that Rob Allen is battling testicular cancer. The league has rallied to show support and love for him though. We've helped raise nearly $4,000 to help cover medical bills and living expenses. We sold trading cards to raise money, Jason Kidd donated $100 for every homer hit on Wednesday ($300 total), auctions happened, #kickballcancer became a thing, Geoff Morehart raised over $1,000 at Jungle Gym this week, and more. Rob's got a long road ahead of him, and we all wish him a speedy recovery.
- In brighter news, we had an on-field proposal! Mamba's Brian Neal squared off against LSD's Jennifer Miller in the pre-game RPS. Brian threw the biggest rock of them all, got down on one knee and asked her to marry him! (She said 'yes') Congratulations, Brian and Jen! Thank you for including us all in your special moment!

Congratulations to Goin' Solange, E2, LSD, and Turn Down For Bunts for earning the top 4 spots. They will compete for an opportunity to win the Cactus Bowl!
