Sad news to share.
I just received word that Steve Hargan, who made five starts for the Toronto Blue Jays in their first season (1977), died on October 30th at the age of 83.
My condolences to his family.
Rest in peace, Steve.

RIP Donna Jean - she and her talents are misunderstood by so many deadheads. My respect for her only grew once I came to know what working in all-male environments can be like.

I’m seeing a number of columns critiquing legal and accessible gambling, and leagues and teams for taking the money for partnerships Which is good!
I’m seeing no columns reflection on media organizations‘ partnerships with sports books and their role in the system. Which is less good!

Re: Sogard's double, Judge's throw to 2B clocked in at 73.2 mph. He didn't charge the ball, either
In the regular season, his throws to bases on similar plays almost always topped 90+mph
