Best of luck to Tommy La Stella. Quality hitter- quality human. Once saw him pull up a slab of sidewalk and spend 40 minutes talking with a homeless guy in KC.

New rule: if you get a base runner to third you get to put one of your “captured” players back in the game. I choose Rizzo.

When at the gym it is good practice to wipe down the machine when you are done. I also like to set the pin a few plates lower to fool the next user into thinking I am strong.
