That moment 00:00:30.469 --> 00:00:33.170 became a defining achievement in American sports, 00:00:33.490 --> 00:00:36.890 honoring perseverance and reshaping how generations 00:00:36.890 --> 00:00:39.950 celebrate the lifetime record for power hitting. 00:00:40.789 --> 00:00:45.770 So now you know.

In local 00:02:42.020 --> 00:02:45.590 news. The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority 00:02:45.590 --> 00:02:49.270 has set a round -trip train fare of $80 for World 00:02:49.270 --> 00:02:52.770 Cup games. Tickets will be available exclusively 00:02:52.770 --> 00:02:55.909 through the InTicket app, starting on Wednesday, 00:02:56.169 --> 00:02:58.889 April 8th, and will be valid for travel across 00:02:58.889 --> 00:03:01.669 the entire commuter rail network on match days. 00:03:02.530 --> 00:03:05.050 The first five matches will have tickets available 00:03:05.050 --> 00:03:07.849 beginning at 11 o 'clock in the morning, with 00:03:07.849 --> 00:03:10.569 tickets for later matches going on sale closer 00:03:10.569 --> 00:03:13.990 to those dates. Commuter Rail Boston Stadium 00:03:13.990 --> 00:03:16.750 trains will be the only public transit option 00:03:16.750 --> 00:03:19.870 directly serving Gillette Stadium on match days, 00:03:20.069 --> 00:03:23.530 as no subway or regular bus routes will operate 00:03:23.530 --> 00:03:33.050 to the stadium. Now on to sports. In just over 00:03:33.050 --> 00:03:35.830 two weeks, Commissioner Roger Goodell is expected 00:03:35.830 --> 00:03:39.030 to commence the 2026 National Football League 00:03:39.030 --> 00:03:41.780 draft in Pittsburgh. by announcing that the Raiders 00:03:41.780 --> 00:03:44.979 are selecting Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza 00:03:44.979 --> 00:03:48.780 with the number one pick. Mendoza, however, is 00:03:48.780 --> 00:03:51.580 not expected to be there to join Goodell on stage 00:03:51.580 --> 00:03:55.719 and pose with his new team jersey and cap. According 00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:59.259 to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Mendoza has informed 00:03:59.259 --> 00:04:01.520 the National Football League that he will not 00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:04.159 be attending the draft in person because he plans 00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:06.620 to celebrate with his family in Miami instead. 00:04:07.530 --> 00:04:09.969 Though many presumed number one picks choose 00:04:09.969 --> 00:04:12.330 to attend the draft in person for the experience, 00:04:13.050 --> 00:04:15.789 Mendoza is far from the first opt out of going 00:04:15.789 --> 00:04:20.550 to the event. In local sports, the Red Sox snapped 00:04:20.550 --> 00:04:23.389 a three -game losing streak, edging the Milwaukee 00:04:23.389 --> 00:04:27.790 Brewers 3 -2 on Tuesday night. Trevor Story delivered 00:04:27.790 --> 00:04:30.310 a clutch two -run double in the sixth inning, 00:04:30.449 --> 00:04:33.449 while Garrett Crochet struck out seven over six 00:04:33.449 --> 00:04:37.660 and won third innings to secure the win. This 00:04:37.660 --> 00:04:40.300 victory marked just the third for the Sox in 00:04:40.300 --> 00:04:43.480 11 games this season, avoiding a troubling 2 00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:47.259 -9 start. Our oldest Chapman earned his third 00:04:47.259 --> 00:04:50.519 save with a scoreless 9th inning as the Red Sox 00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:53.459 prepare to face the Brewers again tonight with 00:04:53.459 --> 00:04:59.420 Sonny Gray on the mound. In top news, surprising 00:04:59.420 --> 00:05:03.079 links between autism and Alzheimer's could change 00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:06.759 how we treat both. The idea that two conditions 00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:09.360 at opposite ends of life might be biologically 00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:12.100 linked is beginning to append long -standing 00:05:12.100 --> 00:05:15.600 assumptions in brain science. Joseph Fuchsbaum 00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:19.259 was initially unconvinced. When early hints of 00:05:19.259 --> 00:05:21.699 a connection between autism and Alzheimer's began 00:05:21.699 --> 00:05:24.360 to appear in the medical literature a few years 00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:28.379 ago, they struck him as implausible. But the 00:05:28.379 --> 00:05:31.339 signals kept accumulating, and over time, his 00:05:31.339 --> 00:05:33.839 skepticism gave way to a new line of inquiry. 00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:37.899 I came to this kicking and screaming. I didn't 00:05:37.899 --> 00:05:41.420 want to believe it, said Buxbaum. Autism has 00:05:41.420 --> 00:05:44.500 long been treated almost exclusively as a childhood 00:05:44.500 --> 00:05:50.500 condition. In business news, the 60 -40 restaurant 00:05:50.500 --> 00:05:53.560 rule is breaking, and it is not because the food 00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:57.319 got worse. GLP -1 drugs have reduced millions 00:05:57.319 --> 00:06:00.180 of customers' appetites, but that is not the 00:06:00.180 --> 00:06:03.819 only culprit in the profit crunch. Many ancient 00:06:03.819 --> 00:06:06.339 rules in certain industries have outlived their 00:06:06.339 --> 00:06:09.579 value, such as spilling salt or whistling in 00:06:09.579 --> 00:06:12.779 the kitchen. Operators now view these beliefs 00:06:12.779 --> 00:06:16.779 as mere superstitions. However, no one in the 00:06:16.779 --> 00:06:19.120 food service industry has questioned the core 00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:21.920 proposition that a restaurant needs a ratio of 00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:25.860 60 % drinks to 40 % food to succeed long -term. 00:06:26.500 --> 00:06:31.139 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is unchanged. at 00:06:31.139 --> 00:06:37.259 $69 ,000. Ethereum is down 1 % to just over $2 00:06:37.259 --> 00:06:45.319 ,000. And XRP is down 1 % to $1 .32. Moving on 00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:49.139 to a more local vibe. In our community spotlight 00:06:49.139 --> 00:06:52.120 on health and wellness, we are working with a 00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:55.019 national Pilates studio to bring you some free 00:06:55.019 --> 00:06:59.319 classes, so listen up.

The partnership is a significant 00:07:58.660 --> 00:08:01.600 win for Intel, which has faced challenges in 00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:04.500 recent years, leading to cuts in production capacity. 00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:08.500 Last year, the Trump administration secured an 00:08:08.500 --> 00:08:11.699 equity stake in Intel for around $9 billion. 00:08:12.860 --> 00:08:16.480 As of March 20th, the U .S. government held 8 00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:23.800 .4 % of Intel's outstanding shares.
