Transcript

Good evening. Here are three stories from Monday.[1]

First, football. Harry Kane won the men's Ballon d'Or in London, the first English winner in 25 years, after a 73-goal season for Bayern Munich and England. Alexia Putellas won the women's award for the third time. Kane is 33 years old and plays as a striker. Putellas is a Spanish midfielder who won her award at the same ceremony in London.[1][2][3]

Next, baseball. The World Series has moved to Tropicana Field for Game 3. The Brewers lead the Tampa Bay Rays 2-0, and the Rays want to bounce back at home after falling into an 0-2 hole. The Rays are turning to former Brewer Freddy Peralta on the mound for this one.[4][5][8]

And finally, Walter Koenig, who played Ensign Pavel Chekov on Star Trek, has died at 90. His co-star George Takei paid tribute, saying his heart is heavy. Koenig was the actor who originated the role of Chekov, and Takei looked back on a friendship that lasted nearly six decades.[6][7]

That's Banana Daily for tonight. Thanks for listening.[1]
