    Understood. MLB seems to understand a dual need to expand demographic if it wants ad revenues via expanded inclusion.

    Tigers radio booth is waking up to 2023. * Have had African American doing color * Good female interviewer reporting on all of the Tigers mentoring by older staff members. Baseball has the oldest demographic of any sport. San Diego has diversity: * Gwynn does Padres radio broadcasts I lived in Milwaukee 20 years. No female, Latino, or African American in booths. Sundays - TV only in Spanish on Telemundo carried. Twins have diversity in TV booth on occasion, Hawkins. Marney was doing some before breast cancer diagnosis. What are your oldest recollections of diversity in booths? Mine would be Frank White on Yanks radio; Joe Morgan TV. Female in Yanks radio booth for about 10 years (I don't care for her). I really enjoy Jessica Ofelia Mendoza.

    Will have to go to CHS to see if he has the craftiness that so many employ once the rings go out on the cylinder. Looking forward to it as I never saw him live.

    Another vote for Farmer at 3B on the A/S game (winks). Guy is one of the better trades FO played. $5,6MM well spent. The boy has GRIT! Joe Ryan needs to tame those BoSox hitters tomorrow. Go Twins.

    The "This inning is sponsored by..." has arrived on 'CCO as it has in so many other MLB booths. With new pitch clock, jam those 10-second commercials in between innings.

    At old County Stadium in Milwaukee, I stayed out of the bleachers when Cubs were in town. An invitation to trouble, as the train from Chi-town emptied. 5 holding cells were immediately below the LF bleachers.

    First votes have been tallied for MLB All Star Game. Ten listed w/totals for each position. Guess how many Twins? https://www.mlb.com/news/second-2023-mlb-all-star-ballot-update

    That craze occurred after I got a letter from Lyndon Johnson in '68, inviting me to a party, where we got 3 squares and a cot. I never went back to the area so my historical framework ended precipitously with that segment of life.

    Niagara Falls area. All Sicilian pizzas. Uncle used to bring back Bocci's from Buffalo. Superb 1.25" crust, bread like, with a sauce to die for. When we played ball, we used to go to Anastasi's on Sunday afternoon for spaghetti as a team. Mama Anastasi used to come out of the kitchen, noodles first, then scoops of sauce. "You boys needa more..." 75 cents.

    Do that silently and not a word needs to be whispered to the team. Do it.

    My guess would be that they have about 25-35 options on spreadsheets. Probably working some initial phone/zoom time, scratching the surface. It will heat up in July as we approach trade drop dead date (Aug 1). I no longer have any confidence in their assessment of what they have and what they go after.

    Swinging.

    Buxton K's. Now there is a surprise.

    I grow this variety. If you get up here, stop. It needs to be divided this fall. https://www.gardenia.net/plant/rheum-x-hybridum-canada-red

    Stop on by,. My rhubarb is the best it has ever been. I combine rhubarb, diced apple, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and MN maple syrup.

    I used to have that run in Nov-Feb. Better tonite than then.

    Those of us who played ball know and live w/that tension.

    Twins radio had a pre-recorded interview w/Kepler, waxing very eloquently (not sarcasm) on hitting. The piece just struck me as an effort at hype for consumer consumption. Attebery was going on and on about that side of Max.. I found it inappropriately placed at this time. Don't insult me.

    I can't cook Mexican food w/o it.

    My bet is that is in consult w/Ortho doc and trainer. Build it up.

    And a great report it is. Well done. I was stationed in Texas twice during the '60s and you couldn't drag me back with a team of horses, particularly for a domed stadium. Old school and they all rub me the wrong way, even when roof is open. Yes, I know their function in that Texas sun, Stood formation in it more than I care to admit. Keep up the reports! We did an Amtrak tour. Target, Miller Park (God know what it is named today), Wrigley, Rings More than Once Comiskey Park, Busch Stadium (now there is a ballpark!), and Kaufmann. The train trip gave it the 'Old School' feel. I will be going down to Cedar Rapids again this year and will file a report.

    Early in my non-bb career, 'collaboration' replaced 'compromise.' Takes longer but much healthier. I just had to turn my head 90.* I was as stubborn as hell before my perspective changed as 'compromise' didn't work. I was an 'either/or' boy.
