Welcome home, Harold.Its been worth the wait.Super coach Jack Gibson famously once said waiting for Cronulla to win an NRL premiership was like leaving the porch lamp on for the former Australian Prime Minister.It was a great punchline.But Cronulla have had the last laugh after finally breaking their premiership duck, downing Melbourne 14-12 in the NRL grand final at ANZ Stadium on Sunday night.It broke the longest remaining drought in NRL premiership history.Up, up Cronulla indeed.The Sharks may have been in their first grand final since 1997 but they set the pace in front of 83,625 fans, nabbing an 8-0 halftime lead after fullback Ben Barba scored in the 15th minute.Melbourne looked to have grabbed the momentum after they nabbed a 12-8 lead when centre Will Chambers - back from a foot injury - crashed over in the 64th minute.But the Sharks were not to be denied.Controversial Cronulla forward Andrew Fifita bulldozed his way past five defenders to score in the 69th minute as Sharks fans dared to dream.The Storm went down swinging but it was the Sharks who emerged triumphant, finally ending the clubs premiership hoodoo 49 years after they entered the premiership.It provided a triumphant end to retiring Cronulla hooker Michael Ennis 14 season career.But more importantly for Sharks fans, it also ended one of the great long running gags in the NRL.You can turn the light off now.

The Rangers agreed to terms on a minor league contract on Wednesday with the 41-year-old slugger, who hasnt played in the big leagues since 2011 with Tampa Bay. Ramirez worked out with the Round Rock Express and told reporters he hopes to play Sunday or Monday. "The expectation is to come here and play the game," Ramirez said. "Then hopefully I can move on and do what I always do." Ramirez has twice been suspended for testing positive for banned drugs. The 12-time All-Star was suspended 50 games in 2009 while with the Dodgers after testing positive for a banned drug. He retired in April 2011 instead of serving a 100-game ban for a seecond positive test, but later agreed to a reduced 50-game suspension and played in the minors for Oakland in 2012.dddddddddddd. "You have to go through the fire first," Ramirez said. "When you come out, thats when the blessing comes." A lifetime .312 hitter, Ramirez is 14th on the career home runs list with 555. He hit 17 homers in the final 53 games of 2008 after Boston traded him to Los Angeles, but he has just 28 since then because of injuries and the suspensions. He was 1 for 17 without a homer for the Rays when the second drug suspension hit two years ago. "It will be interesting to see if he can help this team win," Rangers outfielder David Murphy said. "From what Ive seen in the past, its hard to believe that he cant help us." ' ' '
