These 12 guys and a few lucky others know that the Amex Black card is nothing in comparison to baseball’s golden ticket. This week, Toronto Blue Jays slugger Jose Bautista instagrammed a photo of his recently acquired MLB "Lifetime Pass." These extremely rare and relatively unknown cards are issued by the commissioner's office "in appreciation of long and meritorious service" to the league.These cards have been presented to players, umpires, scouts and other friends of MLB as far back as the 1930s, and grants owners and a guest access to any Major League baseball game as long as they live. They're essentially the coolest thing anyone could have in their wallet, even cooler than Bryce Harper's Chipotle For Life card. Here are a few shots of cards owned by some of the lucky few to get the privilege.

SAN DIEGO — An Oceanside couple are headed to prison for keeping an underage relative as a sex slave, housekeeper, baby sitter and prostitute. Inez Martinez Garcia, 44, was sentenced Monday to 20 years in prison, and her husband, Marcial Garcia Hernandez, 45, to 23 years to life. Each had pleaded guilty to multiple counts of abuse. The two were accused of forcing the girl to clean and cook, take care of the couple’s three children and have sex with Hernandez and with other men for money. When the girl refused, she was beaten and forced to eat hot peppers, according to testimony during the court case. The couple helped their niece, then 12, enter the U.S. illegally after promising her parents that they would care for her and make sure she attended school. Instead they abused her and kept her a captive for more than 18 months, according to prosecutors. She returned to Mexico but came back to the U.S. and assisted in the prosecution.

The London Knights of the OHL didn’t win their Memorial Cup round robin game against the Portland Winterhawks on Monday, but if it’s any consolation, they didn’t fail to impress during their 6-3 defeat, either. Specifically, we’re referring to Knight’s forward Max Domi, son of former NHL tough guy, Tie Domi.  With London trailing by a score of 3-1 in the second period, Domi took a feed in the slot and delivered a through-the-legs saucer pass across the Winterhawks goal and on the tape of Bo Horvat‘s stick for the highlight reel assist. Check it out: Unfortunately for the Knights, sweet-looking goals like that one have the same value as all other goals.  And they didn’t get enough of either on this occasion.

If you’ve read between the lines over the years, it was obvious that Sergio Garcia is a racist. Today, he confirmed it. When talking about Tiger Woods, he pulled the fried chicken card.

The 50th Big Game will go to the league’s newest, most tech-savvy stadium. Via: San Francisco 49ers, File / AP Levi's Stadium is massive, even though at this point it barely exists. You can actually see it rising from the distance when you're driving down 101 South in the Bay Area. Once you hit the Santa Clara city limits, crane your head back and to the left and find an opening between the tech buildings dotting that side of the freeway. The light stanchions in the distance are already unmistakeable. By the time it opens in the fall of 2014, it will have cost (an estimated) $1.2 billion and seat 68,500 fans. Every fan in the stadium will have Wi-Fi connectivity to all their devices, the field will be irrigated with recycled water, and solar paneling will make 49ers home games an energy-neutral endeavor. It's going to be a spectacular place for just about any conceivable event, and people here are ecstatic about its arrival.NFL owners are also pretty ecstatic, apparently, and have now awarded Super Bowl L to the stadium, and January 2016 is now shaping up to a two-week party the likes of which the Bay Area has never seen. As this season's championship game set to be played at MetLife Stadium, across the river from New York City, the selection of the Bay Area means that two out of the next three Super Bowls will be played in open-air venues in non-tropical, non-desert locations that you might be interested in visiting for reasons other than "Super Bowl" or "bachelor party."As a Bay Area partisan who's a football fan, I couldn't be happier. Visitors will get to check out the many tourist attractions of San Francisco proper, the wineries up north in Napa, and the old-town charm of places like Half Moon Bay, driving from surf-happy Pacifica, south of San Francisco, to the rolling hills of the East Bay or Muir Woods across the Golden Gate. There was palpable disappointment in these parts when the region blew its chance to bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics, but this is a hell of a second chance at showing that marquee events are no difficult task. With the world's foremost tech giants dotting the landscape for miles in each direction, the eyes of the sports world will be on little Santa Clara (population: 118,000).The awarding of Super Bowl L has fulfilled a dream for many here, to show that Northern California can compete with any warm-weather car city when it comes to hosting world-class sporting events. Meanwhile, fans across the country should be happy about the NFL's willingness to spread the Bowl around to cities like San Francisco, New York, and Indianapolis, last season's host. (That you have to have a mega-expensive new taxpayer-subsidized stadium just to get your foot in the door...that's a different column.) For one, it means you might get to see a Super Bowl in your city. For another, it means that you can hope to someday take a trip to see your favorite team play for a title in a place that has attractions besides strip clubs and Jagermeister bars — for all the NFL's interest in being a sport for the whole family, they've certainly tended in the past to cater to their fratty core constituency by awarding Super Bowls to New Orleans and Miami whenever possible.Besides, everyone likes to throw a party — not just the party towns.
