The boos rained down before Shohei Ohtani’s name even was announced. They only got louder as he trotted around the bases. Back in December, Blue Jays fans thought they were about to win Ohtani’s free-agent sweepstakes — teased by online reports that the two-way star was flying to Toronto and likely to sign with the Canadian club.

R. Allen Stanford is among the most brazen white-collar criminals — and he's paying dearly for it. The former financier is in the 14th year of a 110-year prison sentence after being convicted in 2012 for selling $7 billion in fraudulent certificates of deposits in the Caribbean island of Antigua.
