Even though I don't really have a horse in this race, this has been a good baseball game.

Re: Baseball
Darn. Just like that they give it away.
I saw him at RFK a few times. I remember being sad that he was so good on such a poor team. RIPFrank Howard, ex-HR champ, World Series winner, dies at 87
... Howard played seven seasons with the Washington Senators after earning NL Rookie of the Year honors with the Dodgers in 1960 and helping them win the World Series three years later. He was with the Senators when they relocated to Texas and became the Rangers and finished his playing career with the Detroit Tigers.
"Growing up a baseball fan in Washington D.C., Frank Howard was my hero," Nationals owner Mark Lerner said in a statement. "The towering home runs he hit into the stands at RFK Stadium gave him the nickname Capital Punisher, but I'll always remember him as a kind and gentle man. The entire Lerner family would like to offer our thoughts and condolences to Frank's family during this difficult time. The world of baseball has truly lost a giant."
... Howard led the American League in home runs twice, in 1968 and 1970, sandwiched around his 48-homer season that remains the most in Washington baseball history. He was inducted into the Nationals' ring of honor in 2016....
At 6-foot-7 and 255 pounds, Howard was a massive, imposing figure as an outfielder and first baseman. He was also often the Senators/Rangers' best hitter during times the team had six losing seasons out of seven.
"We didn't score a whole lot of runs, and it was on his back a lot of times to score a few runs," Bosman said. "He obviously responded to that pretty darn good most of the time." ...

Ut-oh, 5-0 Rangers at the end of just 2.
Edit: Seriously? 10-0 after 3. Bring on Game 5.

I sort of hope the Cubs aren't that good next year. When they won it in 2016, trump followed.
See, I am a patriotic American first.

Re: Baseball
Lofty company.Rangers' Corey Seager wins second World Series MVP award
... Seager also was the MVP of the 2020 World Series when he was with the Los Angeles Dodgers. He is just the fourth player to win multiple World Series MVP trophies since the award was first given out in 1955, joining Sandy Koufax, Bob Gibson and Reggie Jackson. He is just the second player to win the award for two different teams, along with Jackson (Athletics, Yankees)....
Thank you

Re: Baseball
Well color me shocked. At the end of the season Rickett's gave a full endorsement of Ross.
That said, Ross is a nice guy but a mediocre manager.
Good hire, big upgrade.
The Hot Stove league is open.
