Saturday

Will and Mary-Clayton played golf with Thomas and Holly today, at the public course near their house.

MLB celebrates Jackie Robinson again this weekend, instead of the usual one day affair. Braves and Phillies all wore 42 Friday night, then again Saturday afternoon. Might've been an impromptu deal.  

Dansby, Acuna, and others wore special Stance Jackie Robinson socks for the occasion.

 Tiger missed a belt loop.

 Keyrings are made for right-handed people. Ask any lefty.

Here's a bar bet that'll win you some money:

name the last American League MVP who was a switch-hitter:

pitcher Vida Blue.

 Mike Evans is a wide receiver for Brady's Buccaneers.

SAM McDOWELL  [SABR Bio] was the only Cleveland Indian pitcher to be traded after racking up more than 2,000 strikeouts for them. Traded 29-Nov-1971 to the Giants for Gaylord Perry and Frank Duffy.  Totaled 2,159 K in 11 years for the Tribe, 1961-71. His ERA in “The Year of the Pitcher” was second only in the American League to leader Luis Tiant. In 1968 Sam’s ERA was 1.81 to Tiant’s 1.60. (Both trailed NL's Gibson with his 1.12.) Sam’s delivery was smooth compared to the speed he generated when he threw. The ball seemed to arrive at the catcher’s mitt suddenly. His nickname quickly became “Sudden Sam”.

 

Listening / observing: guy I know, a former NFL player off my high school football team, does radio for the Mercer Bears, posted asking why white people hate blacks.

 

A “megachurch” pastor, the pastor of MLK’s Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, who is running for the State Senate - says abortion is “consistent” with Christianity, calling it “healthcare” and “reproductive justice”. Tony Dungy called him out on it, claiming abortion isn’t Biblical. Same pastor paraphrased the messianic prophecy in Isaiah 53 to reference John Lewis instead of Jesus.

Interesting Denison column, on how James Bond spurred on the 1960’s sexual revolution, and further loosened the public’s perception of sex outside of marriage.
