It may have had a chequered history where Australian rules is concerned, but ANZ Stadium has the chance to farewell the code in style.The ground is set to attract the biggest AFL attendance in Sydney for at least nine years, with 60,000 fans expected for the qualifying final derby between Sydney and Greater Western Sydney on Saturday.A crowd of that magnitude will justify the AFLs decision to take the game away from the Swans SCG base, which has a highest AFL attendance of 46,168.The historic first all-Sydney AFL Final is clearly the biggest game in the history of the code in NSW, ANZ Stadium chief executive Darryl Kerry said.It will also be a fitting farewell for AFL footy at ANZ Stadium, which will soon be redeveloped as a world-class rectangular stadium.Although it was a ground some Swans supporters found hard to love, they certainly celebrated plenty of famous wins at the venue.The club won eight out of ten finals there and has a 32-22 record overall, having played in all 54 AFL games held in the main stadium for the 2000 Olympics.The poor state of the ground was a frequent talking point in the aftermath of several games, especially when matches were played within a day or two of rugby league fixtures.It also drew negative headlines in 2015 when Hawthorns Jarryd Rougheads guernsey was ripped and his back marked after he slid over exposed bolts behind the goals.For all the controversy, the ground has also provided its share of drama and excitement and big crowds.On 11 occasions it hosted crowds of more than 50,000, two of them over 70,000 for finals matches in 2003 against Collingwood and Brisbane,The Magpies were the most frequent visitors to the venue playing 13 games, while four teams never played there, the two South Australian clubs, Gold Coast and Western Bulldogs.NUMBERS FOR AFL AT ANZ STADIUM* Biggest crowd: 72,393.

MIAMI -- Left-hander Rich Hill made his major league debut against the Marlins, but so much has changed since then.Hill made his debut on June 2015 against a team that was then known as the Florida Marlins.On Saturday, Hill faces the Miami Marlins, and he will do so in the middle of a career year. The 36-year-old was acquired by the Los Angeles Dodgers in a five-player deal that the Oakland As completed on Aug. 1.Hill was immediately placed on the disabled list due to a blister issue. But once he got over that, he pitched six scoreless innings in a 1-0 win over the San Francisco Giants.The big thing is staying in the moment, Hill told the media after that start. I just had to focus on each pitch coming out of my hand.Last Saturday, Hill made his second Dodgers start, and he did not disappoint, taking a no-hitter into the sixth inning. In the end, Hill struck out eight, allowed just one hit and tossed six scoreless innings.He enters Saturdays game against the Marlins with career numbers for 2016 -- an 11-3 record with a 1.94 ERA.Not bad for a guy who has bounced around to eight different major league organizations, and that does not count two different stints with the Boston Red Sox.Hills career appeared to be over last year, when he was released by the Washington Nationals on June 24. Hill found no takers and signed with an independent minor league team -- the Long Island Ducks -- in order to try to keep his career alive.A couple of weeks later, the Red Sox signed him, and then the As gave him a chance for the 2016 season.Hill, who did not start a single game for five years -- 2010 to 2014 -- is one win away from a career high in victories. His ERA is miles ahead of what he normally does given his career mark of 4.dddddddddddd15.Now comes the Marlins, a team he has only faced twice -- during that rookie relief appearance in 2005 when he allowed two runs in one inning or during an ill-fated start in 2009.Hill is in a much better grove now, and he will look to get the best of Marlins right-hander Tom Koehler, who started this year as Miamis fourth starter but has pitched better than that.In fact, after Jose Fernandez, Koehler has been Miamis second-best starting pitcher. In his past 15 starts, Koehler is 4-4 with a 3.54 ERA.We want TK to keep it going, Fernandez said after he beat the Dodgers 4-1 on Friday night. We need every win we can get.Indeed, the Marlins (70-71) have a modest two-game win streak after a slump that saw them lose 10 of 12 games.Due to that slump, theyre on the fringes of contention for an NL wild-card playoff berth that is shaping up as a battle between the New York Mets, San Francisco Giants and St. Louis Cardinals. As it stands now, two of those three teams will make the playoffs.Meanwhile, the Dodgers (79-61), who had their five-game win streak snapped on Friday, still lead the Giants comfortably in the NL West.Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said he thinks the fact that three-time Cy Young winner Clayton Kershaw came off the disabled list on Friday to face the Marlins -- even in a losing effort -- will pay dividends for his team down the stretch.Its a huge boost to our team, Roberts said. Weve got to take the long view and understand that this was a win for him and for us. ' ' '
