Finished all but 20d. Never heard of Baker day so I thought it was Break Day. But then I knew 27a had to be bridge, so I knew I was in trouble.

Was at a loss at first with the across clues, wondering what the theme was, then got LEG BYE, and thought it was going to be things cricket, but was glad it turned out to be much broader than that.

BTW there’s another sporting connection to HAZARD, which is golf, eg. A water hazard where one can easily lose one’s balls.

As for the sports and games, yes, my thoughts exactly.

A pleasant puzzle, but a fairly odd mix of indoor and outdoor sports and games. I started off thinking Olympic sports, but CRIBBAGE and DOMINOES soon put an end to that idea. LACROSSE and BASEBALL have featured in the Olympics in the past.
