NEWSMAKERS Who’s making news this week
Stephen Strasburg
He’ll probably repeat on Thursday’s local list, but if the Nationals’ No. 1 pick lives up to the hype, he’ll be worth it.
Brett Favre
Just when you thought he had gone away for good, he gets a sneaky surgery and a new set of Vikings deadlines.
Roger Federer
His French Open win cements his status as one of the all-time greats, even if he didn’t have to beat Nadal.
Kobe Bryant
He has been dominant in the NBA Finals, following his 40 in Game 1 with 29 more in Game 2.
Tiger Woods
For the second time this year, he won the last event he’ll play before a major; the U.S. Open is next week.

3. Brian Bullington, 2002, Pittsburgh Pirates - Still kicking around, still looking for his first major league win.
