South Korea's baseball gold medal in the Asian Games on Friday allows Shin-Soo Choo to stay on the Cleveland Indians' roster for next season instead of reporting to mandatory military service.

Anything other than a gold medal would have forced Choo, 28, into a two-year military training in South Korea, which requires men to complete the service before they reach the age of 30.

South Korea beat Taiwan 9-3 in Guangzhou, China, clinching a waiver from military service for all its players, including Choo.

"It's a great relief, for Choo and for all of us too," Indians manager Manny Acta told ESPNdeportes.com.

"[Obama] was not born here," Scott asserted to Answer Man in the session's last segment. "That's my belief. I was born here. If someone accuses me of not being born here, I can go — within 10 minutes — to my filing cabinet and I can pick up my real birth certificate and I can go, 'See? Look! Here it is. Here it is.' The man has dodged everything. He dodges questions, he doesn't answer anything."

Ron Brakes, of Wheeling, told police he was upset after attending Santo's wake and was "trying to do a good thing" when he defaced the Red Line's Grand Avenue stop with a Sharpie.

"Good! Buy! Ron Santo! Cubs Best Cub Thirt-Baseman Forever Love Always God,'' Brakes, 48, scribbled on the platform wall, according to a police report.

Brakes was charged with criminal defacement of property and possession of a marker with intent to deface.
