He then returned to the Jays in 93 and was part of their WS team then. He left after, returned again, left again before returning again for his 4th and final stint with the Jays.

I hadn’t heard about this. Makes me sad.

From yesterday

JUST IN: Two former Chicago White Sox employees are charged for scheming with a ticket broker to fraudulently sell thousands of tickets to baseball games, costing the Sox roughly $1 million, the feds say. Story to come.

The one time I'm semi interested in who the Mets are playing since they're 10 minutes away.

I've said it every year. MLB spring training is the one preseason I care about and get excited for.

No matter the expectations or who's on the roster, I love watching ST baseball. Sure, part of it is because by May most games start being pointless, been that way for too many years here, but still fun to have ST.

This year they made major changes to Jays ST stadium. I wonder how it'll come off on TV, but I look forward to seeing them giving tours of the stadium on TV.

From Peter Gammons

Quote:

More Gammons: "The Sox don't think they are going to get really hit [from the investigation], but you just don't know." "Chris Young told me, 'Kind of my idea, I started the whole Apple Watch thing. I got it from when I was with the Yankees.'"

IDK the Apple Watch timeline, but he was with the Yankees in 2014 and 2015, and went to the Sox in 2016. He could be lying, he could be letting another cat out of the bag.

I just read about that. I'm always curious about how Stubhub has so many tickets on sale for games. I doubt they're the only employees of a team to sell tickets on Stubhub.
