well, this is certainly something.

Cedric Tallis was the general manager of the Kansas City Royals and the New York Yankees.
Submarine pitcher Hisashi Yamada won 284 games in Japan.
I had completely forgotten that there was a Ryan Braun who pitched for Kansas City in 2006 and 2007, but it’s his birthday today.
Starting last night, the Milkmaid and I are housesitting for a co-worker of hers for a week. It's a much nicer place than most and there's a great pool out back. We've been pretty spoiled for the last couple of weeks, other than not seeing our kids.
Alright, guys. I'm spent. The Milkmaid and I both made it all the way through the often-punishing Flagstaff Extreme course last night, which is something that only 30% of people manage to do (our group seemed to bear out these results correctly). We stayed at a sucky Super 8 and drove home today, and as low-class as the hotel was, it's still been an adventure to be on our own for this long, which is simply something we've not done since she was pregnant with the first one (and we didn't get real adventurous when she was carrying, of course).
Today, 14-year-old Kyle Gibson faces 11-year-old (though this age is possibly falsified) Erasmo Ramirez, who in ten and a third innings manages to have an ERA much worse than Kyle's. He'll be pitching to octogenarian Henry Blanco, though, so that should provide the necessary leadership to set him up for success.
I'll see about ten minutes of this before I head out to work and half-heartedly watch it there on what's likely to be a busy day. Bring it home, dudes.
We both made it through the four stages of the ropes course (only 40% do so). However, we were so broken that we had to get a hotel in Flagstaff...

Bullet Joe Rogan, given name Charles Wilber Rogan, was a star in the Negro Leagues from 1920-1938.
Morrie Silver is credited with having saved baseball in Rochester when the St. Louis Cardinals threatened to drop their team there. He is a member of the International League Hall of Fame.
Harry Dalton was the general manager of the Baltimore Orioles, California Angels, and Milwaukee Brewers.
Masaaki Koyama won 320 games in Japan, third on the all-time list.
Hall of Fame broadcaster Marty Brennaman has been with the Cincinnati Reds since 1974.
Wayne Krivsky was an assistant general manager of the Twins until 2006, when he became the general manager of Cincinnati. He has since returned to the Twins as an assistant to the general manager.
We would also like to wish a happy birthday to MagUidhir’s brother.
New Britain continues to struggle while the Miguel Sano saga reaches a fourth straight day. Rochester gets another gem to win its second straight in a battle for the final wild card spot. Kennys Vargas goes deep twice as Ft. Myers walks off with some help.
damn.
