Rob Manfred said on WFAN that in his vision for MLB divisional realignment, he would *not* put teams that share a market in the same division. Mets and Yankees would be in separate groupings, and so would Cubs and White Sox, Dodgers and Angels

I don’t collect cards much anymore but one guy I collect is Luke Easter.
If you don’t know his story, or even if you do, check out this pod.
I am very convinced that in an alternate timeline Luke Easter is a Hall of Famer.

Luke Easter
Given different circumstances Easter probably hits 500 MLB HR’s. Instead he would start his pro career at 31 and play till nearly 50. He’d smash some legendary dingers and meet a tragic yet heroic end!

We can do this same thing with baseball. Joe DiMaggio (Giuseppe Paolo), Honus (Johannes) Wagner, Lou Gehrig, so many more were first-generation Americans. Early in the war, Joe's dad even saw his movements restricted as a potential Italian spy by an overzealous government.

Not a historian but like to research. The AI might summarize what I'm looking for, but it doesn't find what I'm *not* looking for. The book on the shelf next to the one I wanted. The insight in chapter 6 based on the quote I needed from chapter 4.

It’d be pretty simple.
“You’re a follower of Christ.”
“Yes”
“So you’re pro immigrant and believe they deserve the same rights as Americans?”
“…..”
“Cursed is anyone who withholds justice from the foreigner.” Deuteronomy 27:19
“Ughhh”
“Will you be playing this Sunday? The lords day?”
“Uhhhh”
“You’re a follower of Christ.”

solid piece. And it is on the media to hold Shaw accountable for espousing such views.
Making a decision to participate in a political movement that's anathema to many Americans — including a large percentage of Cubs fans — only ensures that Matt Shaw will remain in the spotlight in 2026.
