I came across this article in SI. I had the pleasure of hanging out with the team the biggest part of the 1975 season. I got to know Pablo Cruz a bit, great guy. Pablo Cruz was still with the team, his kids were young…Dan Kinder was the GM. I remember the night John Candelaria made his ML debut. Dan and I listened to the game in my Pinto.. https://www.si.com/mlb/2021/06/18/alfredo-edmead-jr-pablo-cruz-life-after-death-daily-cover

Mitchell Page brings back a couple of memories. The Pirates Carolina League club in Salem, Va had a stocked team. Page, Miguel Dilone and a young kid who was going to be the next Clemente, Or at least give Dave Parker a challenge named Alfredo Edmead. Unfortunately Eadmead dove for a short pop fly and slammed into the knee of the second baseman. The kid was killed almost instantly, it was late in the season. It took me a while before I went to another game. A couple of other Major Leaguers from that team. John Candearia and Steve Nicosia.

Very long but interesting take…. I’ve only pasted part of it, read the whole thing

Not as much as the one with the shady insurance agent and his ostrich

It’s likely he may get a stern talking to by his father…..

What gets me is he tried it once and was turned away, then went back and tried it again. Claiming he didn’t know. Don’t they teach anything in those AP Government classes in Great Falls?

Screw the ageism, make all candidates take the cognitive test, release their taxes and pass a constitutional understanding test.

Allen was never liked by the sports writers. He does belong in the Hall

SpaceX already acting like a major airline…

The one time I did get chosen I told them I was a former traffic reporter, and occasionally covered other stories. Was really surprised when they kept me. Was even more surprised when we all voted fairly quickly not to convict. Even the judge stuck his head in after the case to quiz us.

The. Governor Elect ran on voting integrity. Couldn’t even do it in his own house.

They’ve just released a couple of Old Timers categories. Some interesting names…. From the “early era” there is no reason why Buck O’Neil shouldn’t be inducted. I realize a lot of his fame was from the Ken Burns series, but his work on the Negro Hall of Fame alone should put him in. Back when I was playing a lot of retro APBA draft leagues Lefty O’Doul always killed me. Would love to see Gil Hodges and Billy Pierce get in. My one sentimental favorite is Danny Murtaugh

One pill makes you larger and another makes you small.. And the one that Fauci gives you…..(sat) But seriously, great news….

Sessions was exiled to Trump’s version of Siberia and all his history has been erased by Trumpodeia

Didn’t Trump’s Svengali Steve Bannon and friends bilk people out of a couple of million $$ to pay for the wall. Then the Big Boy pardoned him…

But should I believe the old Virginia fourth and seventh grade social studies book from the 50s and 60s that told us slaves loved their benevolent masters and spent their free time singing and dancing?

In the Morrison novel it was so that her offspring did not experience slavery. It was a novel. I would guess it probably happened a few times in real life, especially if the offspring was a child produced by rape. TBH I haven’t read the novel. It was just one of the complaints I heard from the mother of the then 17 year old in her advertisement for Youngkin.

Also what is wrong with teaching Toni Morrison to students in an advanced English class, but watching shows like The Sopranos or Marvel Movies, or even the Star Wars Sagas is OK.

Could someone here explain what CRT is. And what exactly is wrong with it? What states are explicitly promoting it

Taking on the salary extension is probably a better option than getting into a bidding war once the Reds declined the option. Especially since they are ready to move on to Stevenson. A one year deal. Not overtly drunken sailor.

I’m thinking it’s a bit of a salary dump on the Red’s part.

Guy has a $7.5 million option.
