Check it out ... the Internet personality took to Instagram Sunday and documented her journey to MetLife Stadium, where she cheered on the New York Giants as they faced off against the New Orleans Saints.
Ava said she was there with a purpose, however ... sharing an OnlyFans exchange between herself and alleged member of the Giants' roster.
A piece of Willie Mays' historic careeris hitting the auction block ... and the winning bid could end up being a fortune!!
TMZ Sports has learned ... Mays' game-worn and autographed threads from the 1969 All-Star Game -- when Mays played for the San Francisco Giants -- are up for grabs via Heritage Auctions.
The No. 24 gray, orange and black jersey features the SF name on the front ... with a sweet John Hancock from the "Say Hey Kid" himself. It also has "Mays 42/3 1969" and the "W.A. Goodman & Sons" label on the front tail.
Orlando Cepeda -- a Baseball Hall of Famer and teammate of the late Willie Mays -- has died ... according to statements from his family and MLB.
The Giants legend passed away at his home Friday according to his wife, Nydia, while surrounded by family and listening to his favorite music. She says the family takes comfort he's now at peace.
MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred remembered Orlando for his on-field accomplishments ... as well as his role as one of the first Latin American players in the game who paved the way for more inclusion in baseball during the 1960s.
The Giants organization will honor the late great Willie Mays on Monday ... with the entire San Francisco squad rocking the MLB icon's number 24 jersey as they take the field against the Cubs!
"Tonight, all uniformed #SFGiants personnel will wear 24 in honor of Willie Mays 🧡" ... the team announced on social media this afternoon, along with a photo of several jerseys as they hung in players' lockers.
The 36-42 SFG are playing the 37-41 CHC at Oracle Park in the Bay.
Willie Mays, one of the greatest baseball players to ever step foot on a baseball diamond, died at 93, Major League Baseball announced Tuesday evening.
Mays had been living in an assisted living facility in the Palo Alto, CA area, according to the Giants.
"The Say Hey Kid" was 24x MLB All-Star, 12x Gold Glove winner, Rookie of the Year, and 2x NL MVP who patrolled the massive Polo Grounds center field for the New York Giants before the team relocated to San Francisco in the late-50s.
Los Gigantes de San Francisco destruyeron a los Padres de San Diego la noche del viernes en Petco Park, pero todo el drama real estaba sucediendo en las gradas entre un par de fans enojados y violentos.
Mientras los equipos estaban jugando en San Diego, alguien sacó un teléfono y comenzó a grabar a una mujer en una camiseta de los Padres discutiendo con dos chicos con camisetas de los Gigantes entre la multitud.
Echa un vistazo a este loco video publicado en X, la mujer se paró frente a los dos tipos y comenzó a apuntarlos antes de decirles: "¡F*** you!".
The San Francisco Giants destroyed the San Diego Padres on the field Friday night at Petco Park ... but all the real drama was happening in the stands between a couple of their angry and violent fans.
As the teams were playing in SD, someone pulled out a phone and started recording a woman in a Padres jersey arguing with two guys in Giants shirts standing in the crowd.
Check out this crazy video posted to X ... the woman got right up in the grills of the two dudes and started pointing at them before telling them, "F*** you!"
Buster Posey says San Francisco's current issues with crime and drugs might very well be the reason Shohei Ohtani is currently wearing Dodger blue instead of Giants orange.
The S.F. legend -- who was part of the Giants' consortium that made its pitch to Ohtani recently to get him to sign with the Bay Area squad -- got candid with The Athletic after S.F. lost its pursuit of the two-way superstar to LA ... making it clear he thinks his former team's city truly impacted Shohei's free agency decision.
"Something I think is noteworthy," the three-time World Series champ said, "something that unfortunately keeps popping up from players and even the players' wives is there's a bit of an uneasiness with the city itself, as far as the state of the city, with crime, with drugs."
"Whether that's all completely fair or not," Posey continued, "perception is reality."
Posey added that while Ohtani himself never explicitly brought any of it up -- he said there was definitely some in the designated hitter's camp who did have "some reservation with the state of the city right now."
Ohtani is one of many big-name free agents who have passed up the chance to play in San Francisco recently -- last year, the Giants famously missed out on Aaron Judge, and in the past, they've swung and missed on guys like Bryce Harper and Seiya Suzuki too.
In his interview with The Athletic, Posey made it known the perception of S.F.'s current lifestyle might have had a big role in all of it.
"It's a frustrating cycle, I think, and not just with baseball," Posey said. "Baseball is secondary to life and the important things in life. But as far as a free-agent pursuit goes, I have seen that it does affect things."
Ohtani ultimately ended up inking a 10-year, $700 million contract with a LA -- a deal that Giants president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi said this week was nearly identical to the one S.F. had offered.
Posey said he eventually hopes the tide will end up turning ... adding, "It's been well documented that we've come up short for a number of years now."
"But I can't say enough how happy I am to be a part of a group that is truly pushing as hard as they can and want the city of San Francisco to have a great baseball team."
2:53 PM -- TMZ Sports spoke with Ike about his big pitch to Shohei Ohtani ... and while he hasn't heard from the athlete just yet, he said he's been getting a ton of positive feedback from Giants fans for his efforts.

Ike says if he really does sign with S.F., he's fully willing to change EVERY Ike's location in America in honor of the Shohei ... which he estimates would cost him around $500k, but would be totally worth it.
Ike also spoke more about Kevin Durant's current status with his chain ... and he said the Phoenix Suns hooper STILL gets free sandwiches to this day even though he no longer plays for the Warriors -- so keep that in mind, Shohei!!
San Francisco fans are desperate to get Shohei Ohtani to sign with their beloved team ... with one supporter going as far as offering the MLB superstar free sandwiches for life AND a complete rebranding of his shop if he joins the Giants in free agency!!
Ike Shehadeh -- diehard Giants fan and founder of the Ike's Love & Sandwiches chain -- laid out his terms in a social media post this week ... saying if the two-time MVP ditches the Los Angeles Angels for S.F. this offseason, he'll hook him up with unlimited grub and his own signature menu item.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Ike -- who made similar offers to guys like Kevin Durant and Aaron Judge in the past -- took it one step further for the Japanese sensation ... saying he will also change the naming rights of his establishment to "Shohei's Love & Sandwiches" if he takes his talents to the Bay Area.
The sandwich guru even started the brainstorming process on what Ohtani's own item would look like ... taking inspiration from the Giants' orange and black colors to create a tasty steak and barbeque combo.
The Giants are among the possible realistic landing spots for Ohtani ... with the Dodgers, Mets, Cubs, Rangers and pretty much any other team that can afford him expected to enter the race.
Ohtani is reportedly slated to get at least half a billion dollars with his new deal, so he may not be worried too much about the sandwich offer ... but hey, ya can't knock the dude for trying!!
Dodgers great Steve Garvey is channeling his inner Tommy Lasorda on the campaign trail ... telling TMZ Sports he's evoking the late Hall of Fame manager's legendary mentality as he runs for U.S. Senate in California.
74-year-old Garvey is sliding into politics as he aims to fill the late Dianne Feinstein's seat next year ... and while a Republican hasn't held the position in decades, he is confident he can be the one to change that.
"Everybody has always said, 'Oh, you want to run for the Senate in California? Well, that's probably the most difficult race in America. Good luck, God bless, but if anybody can do it, you can,' which I think it was always encouraging," Garvey tells us.
In fact, the World Series champion says he's been getting love from some rival fan bases who used to boo him on the baseball diamond ... which was one sign he needed to run.
"Recently, I had a San Francisco Giants fan come up to me and say, ‘Garvey, I hate the Dodgers, but I'm gonna vote for you,'" Garvey added. "And I think that closed the deal."
"That and having Democrats come up and say they've never voted for a Republican, conservative, but I'm gonna vote for you because I know you, I know you care about me and my family. And we need your voice in Washington."
Garvey says he's running a common sense campaign ... and quality-of-life issues, public safety and education will be his main focus in office.
As for his former teammates, Garvey says the responses he's been getting from them have been "heartwarming" ... and they'll love the message he'll convey as he connects with Californians before they hit the voting booths -- as it's one they have heard before.
"Tommy Lasorda, a great manager and father figure and Hall of Famer, he used to say in key moments, 'You gotta believe.' Maybe that's going to be our theme. You know, everybody's saying, 'Oh, no, you can't win in California.' But we believe, and the people are going to believe that I can go to Washington and represent them."
Lasorda is one of the all-time greats -- he won two World Series titles as the Dodgers' skipper ... and the organization retired his No. 2 jersey in 1997.
Garvey added ... "So you'll see a lot of videos with people saying I believe in Steve Garvey, and then of course, the biggest one is, I believe in the people in California."
El gran Steve Garvey está canalizando al Tommy Lasorda que lleva dentro en la campaña. Le informó a TMZ Sports que está evocando la mentalidad del legendario miembro del Salón de la Fama mientras se postula para el Senado de EE.UU. en California.
Garvey, de 74 años de edad, se desliza en la política y aspira a ocupar el escaño de la difunta Dianne Feinstein el próximo año y mientras que un republicano no ha ocupado el cargo en décadas, confía en que puede ser el que cambie eso.
"Todo el mundo me ha dicho siempre: 'Oh, ¿quieres presentarte al Senado por California? Bueno, probablemente sea la carrera más difícil de Estados Unidos. Buena suerte, que Dios te bendiga, pero si alguien puede hacerlo, eres tú', lo que creo que siempre ha sido alentador", nos cuenta Garvey.
De hecho, el campeón de la Serie Mundial dice que ha estado recibiendo el amor de algunos fans rivales que solían abuchearlo en el diamante de béisbol. Esto sería una señal para él de que debía postularse.
"Hace poco, un aficionado de los Gigantes de San Francisco se me acercó y me dijo: 'Garvey, odio a los Dodgers, pero voy a votar por ti', añadió Garvey. "Creo que eso fue muy importante para mí".
"Eso y que los demócratas se acerquen y me digan que nunca han votado a un republicano conservador, pero que van a votarme porque me conocen, saben que me preocupo por ellos y por sus familias y necesitan mi voz en Washington".
Garvey dice que está ejecutando una campaña de sentido común y las cuestiones de calidad de vida, la seguridad pública y la educación serán su principal objetivo en el cargo.
En cuanto a sus excompañeros de equipo, Garvey dice que las respuestas que ha estado recibiendo de ellos han sido "conmovedoras" y les encantará el mensaje que va a transmitir cuando se conecta con los californianos antes de que lleguen a las urnas, ya que es uno que han escuchado antes.
"Tommy Lasorda, un gran entrenador, figura paterna y miembro del Salón de la Fama, solía decir en los momentos clave: 'Tienes que creer'. Tal vez ese vaya a ser nuestro lema, ya sabes, todo el mundo dice, 'Oh, no, no puedes ganar en California', pero nosotros creemos y la gente va a creer que puedo ir a Washington y representarlos".
Lasorda es uno de los grandes de todos los tiempos, ganó dos títulos de la Serie Mundial como capitán de los Dodgers y la organización retiró su camiseta No. 2 en 1997.
Garvey añadió: "Así que verás un montón de videos con gente diciendo: 'Creo en Steve Garvey', y luego por supuesto el más grande es, 'Creo en la gente de California"'.
The 49ers didn't have many issues on the field on Thursday night, but their fans in the stands sure as hell did ... getting so mad at each other, they brawled right in their seats!!
The fracas happened at some point during San Francisco's blowout win over the Giants at Levi's Stadium ... when about half a dozen Niner supporters decided to beat the hell out of each other.
It's unclear what started it all -- but both women and men were involved.
You can see in video from the scene, as two ladies decked out in SF gear took swipes at each other ... a man wearing a Richard Shermanjersey grabbed one of the combatants by her hair and threw her several feet down some stairs.
The fight, though, continued ... and when another man jumped into the action, the guy in the Sherman jersey started throwing punches.
Meanwhile, another 49er fan hopped into the fray to land some kicks as well.
No word on how it was all separated ... or if any police were involved. But, if they were ultimately kicked out of the venue for scrapping, they sure missed a great performance from their team -- 'cause the Niners rolled over NY, 30-12.
Los 49ers no tenían demasiados problemas en el campo de juego el jueves por la noche, pero sus fans en las gradas sí que los tenían, llegando incluso hasta las manos en un inusual incidente.
La pelea se produjo en algún momento de la aplastante victoria de San Francisco sobre los Giants en el Levi's Stadium, cuando alrededor de media docena de seguidores de los Niner decidieron irse a los golpes.
No está claro lo que empezó todo, pero tanto mujeres como hombres estaban involucrados.
En el video del incidente se puede ver cómo dos mujeres vestidas del equipo de San Francisco empezaron a golpearse entre sí. Luego un hombre que llevaba una camiseta de Richard Sherman decidió sumarse a la batahola, se fue encima de una de ellas, la agarró del pelo y la arrojó varios metros por unas escaleras.
La pelea, sin embargo, continuó y cuando otro hombre decidió actuar, el tipo con la camiseta de Sherman comenzó a lanzar puñetazos.
Mientras tanto, otro fan de los 49er se unió al pleito para dar algunas patadas.
No se sabe cómo se separó todo, ni si intervino la policía. Pero si al final fueron expulsados del lugar por pelearse, de seguro que se perdieron una gran actuación de su equipo, porque los Niners arrollaron a NY por 30-12.
El campeón de la Serie Mundial, Matt Williams, está listo para ser un hombre soltero una vez más ... TMZ Sports ha indagado que su esposa acaba de solicitar el divorcio.
Erika Monroe presentó los documentos en el condado de Los Ángeles el miércoles, cuando ya han pasado más de 20 años desde que la pareja se casó inicialmente.
En los documentos, Monroe alude a "diferencias irreconciliables" como la razón de la separación. Estos también muestran que le pidió manutención conyugal a Williams, que según los informes ascienden a alrededor de $80 millones en sus 17 años de carrera MLB.
Nos pusimos en contacto con el abogado de Monroe para que nos hiciera algún comentario, pero hasta ahora no hay respuesta.
Williams, de 57 años, cinco veces All-Star y 378 jonrones en su carrera, se casó con Monroe, ex presentadora de noticias, el 15 de julio de 2003. Ambos copresentaron los programas previos a los partidos de los Diamondbacks de Arizona en los años posteriores a su boda.
La pareja también tuvo una hija. Aunque ahora es mayor de edad, por lo que la manutención no será un problema.
Williams, que actualmente es el entrenador de tercera base de los Padres de San Diego, había estado casado dos veces antes de comprometerse con Monroe en 2003.
World Series champion Matt Williams is set to be a single man once again ... TMZ Sports has learned his wife just filed for divorce.
Erika Monroe filed the docs in Los Angeles County on Wednesday ... over 20 years after the couple initially married.
In the documents, Monroe listed "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split. The docs show she also asked for spousal support from Williams, who reportedly made around $80 million in his 17-year MLB career.
We've reached out to Monroe's attorney for comment, but so far, no word back yet.
57-year-old Williams -- a five-time All-Star who hit 378 home runs in his career -- married Monroe, a former news anchor, on July 15, 2003. The two went on to cohost pregame shows for the Arizona Diamondbacks in the years after they got hitched.
The couple also had one daughter together ... although she's an adult now, so child support won't be an issue.
Williams -- who's currently the San Diego Padres third-base coach -- had been married two times before he and Monroe tied the knot in '03.
It's time to let Barry Bonds into Cooperstown ... at least according to David Justice -- who tells TMZ Sports the SF Giants legend should be a Hall of Famer.
"Barry Bonds is the baddest dude of my generation," the former Atlanta Braves All-Star said this week. "The baddest dude of my generation. Bar none. Bar none."
Of course, despite being arguably the best baseball player ever ... Bonds has been essentially blackballed from the HOF after he was accused of using performance enhancing drugs during his career.
Justice clearly thinks that's all a joke ... telling us out at Kimpton La Peer Hotel in Los Angeles he feels that subjective way of thinking shouldn't ever be a part of Hall of Fame voters' thought processes.
"They already let guys in already that have been -- that have had tests done," Justice said, "that people know or have a pretty good circumstantial evidence that they've already let in."
Bonds clearly agrees with Justice ... he went on the "Hollywood Swingin'" podcast this week and said he belongs in the Hall because he was never convicted of using steroids.
BLEAV Podcast Network
Justice, though, says Bonds deserves at least some blame for the yearly snub ... saying he thinks the 58-year-old should have made more of an effort to ingratiate himself with baseball media during his career.
As for other HOF slights, Justice said there's one more guy he wishes would get in -- Pete Rose ... and ya gotta hear his reasoning why!
