Pretty good baseball song. Those sad sack Mariners.

I would strike out 34 times, which is technically impossible.

Technically, if'n (it's southern thing, I was grandfather'ed in so to speak since I am born and bred Cali all day and twice on Sundays ) you did? You have another 66 chances at a hit.

That year he and Larry Doby became the first black players to be on a World Series winning team

And they haven't won another since....

Which is utterly ridiculous, Indians should won multiple titles in the 90s. Put Torre in as manager, Dynasty.

Is this BP, with fielders? Game action with fielders? Just BP?

I’ll wear the dude down if he has to throw me 100 pitches without taking a break, either way.

If he hits me, do I get bonus pitches?

@Mecca going with Volk, Pantoja and Whitaker tonight.

The same torre who was a middling manager until he went to the Yankees?

Northwestern President issued a statement....they are reassessing the situation....

Fitzgerald should be fired. Creepy and sick shit....

If what I read earlier is true, that may not be why they're reassessing.

Apparently, the entire rest of the team sent a letter to leadership at Northwestern that said the accusations were blown out of proportion and twisted into lies.

They also said that Fitzgerald never promoted that stuff and didn't know about it.

My guess is that "something" happened, but maybe not at the level that the 2 "whistleblowers" claimed.

To be completely fair though, the letter states that hazing in any form is not allowed or tolerated. Yet, they also claimed that Fitzgerald didn't know.

So, did something happen that wasn't supposed to and Fitzgerald didn't know?

Maybe they're "reassessing" to see what actually happened and if it was as bad as reported?

Put me in the column of if he didn’t know he should have known. It’s his program and when things like this happen, it’s still the head coach’s responsibility.
