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).

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.
