Beach volleyball returns to Las Vegas

Three-time Olympic gold medalist Kerry Walsh Jennings and husband Casey are bringing pro beach volleyball back to Las Vegas this week. Kerri Walsh Jennings Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominee Todd Rundgren has a connection to the Las Vegas 51s — his son Rex played shortstop for the Pacific Coast League team in 2008. Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw and Sierra Vista High’s Nick Kingham have something in common: Both served up a home run ball to pitcher Brandon Woodruff of the Milwaukee Brewers. Baseball Hall of Fame manager Tony La Russa, whose Animal Rescue Foundation will host its annual fund raiser in Las Vegas, recalled his last game as a major league player in which he scored the winning run without coming to bat.
