Tyler's homer helped Este, but they needed Moore. A big day for Chris Parmelee wasn't enough for Licey.

This is my twenty-fifth wedding anniversary. Coincidentally, it's Mrs. A's twenty-fifth wedding anniversary, too. She has announced that she is picking up my option for another year, for which I am most grateful.
Johnny Neun managed two major league teams, the Yankees in 1946 and Cincinnati from 1947-1948. Each time, he was replaced by someone who was nicknamed “Bucky”.

Mexican Matchups: Games of October 26
Amadeo rocks Mexicali in the only close game of the day. A good game for Eric Farris in his Mexican League debut.

A three-run homer carries Margarita. Scoring runs is right up Castillo's Ali. Anzoategui doubles its pleasure against Lara.

An easy win for Obregon. An eighth-inning rally lifts Jalisco. Mazatlan nearly blows a big lead, but puts it away in the ninth.
