One of the greatest players in Philadelphia 76ers history is gone.

Hall of Famer Hal Greer, a 10-time All-Star, member of the NBA at 50 team and guard on the team's 1966-67 NBA championship squad, has died. He was 81.

"Greer was the first player to have his number retired by the 76ers organization when the team retired his No. 15 in 1976. To further celebrate his place in team history, Greer also became the first player to be honored with a sculpture on 76ers Legends Walk," said a statement from the team. "In addition to his historic contributions on the court, Greer will forever be remembered as a true gentleman who used the tremendous platform of basketball to uplift and inspire others."

Cincinnati Reds fans may have a new reason to go to the ballpark as soon as this weekend as a top draft pick could be called up at any time.

He's Nick Senzel and he was the second pick in the 2016 MLB Draft out of the University of Tennessee. After today, the cellar-dwelling Reds can call him up without losing a year of contract control -- a move that's commonly been used for top names in recent years, no matter what their spring numbers said.

In Senzel's case, the spring stats weren't earth-shattering -- he hit .286 (8-for-28) with three RBI -- but last season he hit .321 with 14 homers and 65 RBI between two levels. He's been working a few positions in the infield and, most importantly, the 2-10 Reds just lost their starting third baseman to injury.

What's Buzzing Today: Nothing but breaks highlights and some WrestleMania 34 chatter here in today's edition.

Shohei Ohtani is off to a red-hot start in his first month as a major-leaguer and there were two ways to see it on Sunday.

One was on the mound where he followed a week of notable home runs with a stymying performance that flirted with perfection, while the other was on eBay where one of his rarer and most in-demand baseball cards carried just as much heat.

The card is his red-ink auto from 2018 Topps Heritage and this particular copy was pulled by fellow big-leaguer and collector Pat Neshek, who sold it on eBay Sunday night for $6,101 after 114 bids. Ohtani made his in-pack MLB debut there with one unsigned short-printed card with two autographs, a blue-ink card and this one, limited to just 69 copies.

But on the field is where Ohtani shined once again.
