Former MLB star Tommy John gone at 83.

I remember about twenty-five years ago, his wife Sally and (presumably) a couple of their kids did a commercial.  I don't remember what product it was for.

I also read that he hated being associated with the survey that extended his career. At least we knew how he felt about it, unlike a certain legendary first baseman whose name is connected to ALS (which ended his life two years after he got it).

Dick McAuliffe ended Tommy John's 1968 season.

If the season ended today, the Cubs would be the top wild-card team in the NL.

For those who follow the Frontier League the 4 division leaders are Quebec Capitales, New Jersey Jackals, Washington Wild Things, and Schaumburg Boomers.

With 5 weeks to go in the season, every team in the American League West has a losing record.  The Astros and Rangers are tied for the division lead, both at 65-66.

The Astros have the best least-terrible run differential of the 5 teams in the division, at -44.  19 of the 25 teams in the other 5 divisions have run differentials better than -44.

Sorry, I only follow Chicago's first place teams.

Speaking of the Frontier League, they'll be renamed as National Association of Professional Baseball (NAPB) for the 2027 season.

I caught that.  I guess that I don't get why you'd assume a nearly 44 year old man would be intimately familiar with her music?  She seems like more like a singer for someone your age demographic.
