Happy Veterans Day!
Ted Williams served in two wars. First, he helped America liberate the world from fascism in World War II.
He then helped the United Nations put a stop to North Korea’s invasion of South Korea.

If a team relocates and abandons a city & its fans, it forfeits the legacy made there.
Any future MLB club based in that city gets to pick up the mantle.
Example: Nationals should not be thought of as the Expos. That legacy belongs to a future Montreal club.
What do you think?
The Golden Hall First Team Shortstop is the legendary Honus Wagner.
Would you pick the Flying Dutchman, or do you have someone else in mind for the greatest shortstop of all-time?

Gary Sheffield

`68, Curt Flood painted a portrait of MLK Jr. and gave it to King’s widow. Coretta Scott King said painting “comes closest to depicting the dignity and reverence and especially the love, which characterized his life.”

Baseball remains the most exclusive Hall of Fame.

Basketball is the most open, with a still small admission rate of 3.12 percent of all NBA players.

Christy Mathewson and Ty Cobb, serving in the American Army during World War I. Both were injured during a chemical weapons exercise that killed eight young men.

I’m Jewish, but I respectfully disagree.
Employers should not be expected to know the ethnicity or religion of their employees (unless the employees bring it up for religious accommodation purposes).
And Gentiles should not be expected to know Jewish holidays.
