Error 0:

With baseball on hold, the virtual world of Madden NFL has transformed one New York Yankees youngster into an unexpected big winner.

News of twelve New York Yankees fighting to the virtual death in an intensely competitive Madden league surfaced in early March. Just a few weeks later, one man is left standing as Super Bowl champion.

That man is reliever Ben Heller, playing the popular video game as manager of the Indianapolis Colts.

The 28-year-old hurler informed the world of his victory on Friday, tweeting a picture of an animated Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett celebrating with his teammates.
