Your College Park Skyhawks

 

The NBA G-League College Park SkyHawks team are

fixing to start their season. The arena is down near the airport. Might be fun to go to a game. I was checking out the new Gateway Center at in College Park, near the airport. Seats 3500. Did not realize the Dream was moving to the same arena as the Skyhawks. After I got your email I still had the website up so I went back and found the story about the Dream making the move. On Nov 9th I hope to attend the Skyhawks open house.

Young Trae Young is lighting it up for the Hawks. Did the Sixers make an effort to shut down Trae in the second half, or did he just go cold? Only 25 points / 9 rebounds. Well we talk about Trae Young and he strains his ankle. When I went to bed the Grizzlies were leading the Lakers. Anthony Davis of the Lakers double dribbled, but it wasn't called.   

 

This past Sunday Oct 27 was the only day in calendar year 2019 there were games played in the NFL, NLB, NBA, NHL, and PGA. Probably MLS as well but who cares. Not NBA E-League. I keep telling people about Grizz Gaming and they look at my like I am crazy. I posted it on my blog but only nine people saw it. At least I'm ahead of the curve on something.

Saw where Atlanta is getting an Overwatch team – the Atlanta Reign. The team is to be run by Cox Enterprises, which owned WSB channel 2 and AM750, etc. I know a couple of guys who work at Cox. Maybe they can get me tickets.   

 

See where Tiger tied Sam Snead's record for most wins all-time? I got the notification and changed the channel, but didn't see an interview.

Tuesday: stopped for more Halloween candy last night, after working past six. Also stopped for gas. Ceil was at her Tuesday ministry and Anna had fixed her own supper. I ate some potato salad, Anna's leftover sweet potato wedges, chips and salsa, and a fun size Butterfinger. Later A baked pumpkin bread with chocolate chips, so I had a piece of that.

 

Monday night we'd had a problem with the Hulu TV working through the Apple TV unit. We could still project TV from our phones and computers onto the TV, but it wasn't ideal. Last night I was able to get someone from Amazon to help me fix the problem. Worked on the first try.

Guess you didn't see the World Series hubbub. A Nats batter was called out for not running in the foul territory lane to first base. The bad throw pulled the first baseman's glove into the path of the runner, and the batter inadvertently knocked off the first baseman's mitt. Plate umpire Sam Holbrook had positioned himself to watch the batter run down the first base line, and immediately called the batter out for not running in the lane. Instead of runners at 2nd & 3rd with no out the Nats had one out and a runner on second. The Nats argued and protested, then hit a 2 run homer to extend their lead. 

 

Holbrook was the ump who'd called the phantom infield fly in the Braves/Cards NLCS that fell down the left field line between the third baseman and left fielder, in a spot so tough no one could get to and the popup fell in the outfield grass, and instead of scoring the Braves lost.

FRANK ROBINSON [SABR Bio] was the only Rookie of the Year Award winner for the Redlegs - ROY in 1956. CIN/NL Reds were the "Redlegs" 1954-58. Hint:    He was the first native of Texas to win a Gold Glove in the outfield. His only GG in 1958. B. in Beaumont, Texas. Roy McMillan from Texas had also won the year before, but at shortstop. He went to college, but not to play baseball. Attended Xavier University briefly in Cincinnati after the 1956 season.
