Richard Jacobs was the owner of the Cleveland Indians from 1986-2000.
The Bob Miller born today, although a pitcher, is not the Bob Miller who pitched for the Twins.
We would also like to wish a very happy birthday to texastwinsfan.
Day-ish game alert! The starters keep returning and today we get Gray back. No rehab start for Gray and he had a simulated game with all of 30 pitches so I don't know how much to expect out of him today.
Today's game is on YouTube so you can watch right here.
The Tweeter machine keeps trying to get me to accept an update to their ToS. It's been going on for weeks. I always just restart/refresh the app/site. It says it took effect last Friday. I'm rolling dirty apparently.

Bernice Gera was the first female umpire in Organized Baseball, umpiring one game in the New York-Penn League in 1972.
Former New York Governor Mario Cuomo was an outfielder for the Brunswick Pirates of the Georgia-Florida League in 1952.
Quarterback Jake Locker was drafted by the Angels as an outfielder in the tenth round in 2009. He signed a contract with them, but never played a game of professional baseball.
Twins back with a late night (for us Midwesterners) tilt in Seattle. Finally, after 3 weeks sidelined due to COVID, Joe Ryan back on the mound for the Twins. Yay!! We missed you Joe. Seattle goes with probably their best pitcher this year, Logan Gilbert. He's been pretty good with a 6-2 record, ERA under 2.5, and 1.08 WHIP.
Twins getting close to its "A" line up so I'm expecting to read good things tomorrow when I wake up.
First Pitch at 9:10p Central time.
Twins Lineup:
2B - Arraez
DH - Buxton
SS - Correa
RF - Kepler
3B - Urshela
LF - Larnach
1B - Miranda
C - Jeffers
CF - Celestino
Well, technically Strawberry Moon, but close enough. Another one of those supermoon thingies, but still, I hope it adorns your skyline something beautiful tonight.
Walt Mink had a perfectly serviceable, indie cover of "Pink Moon" (finger tapping!), and while I enjoyed it, I appreciated it most for pointing the way to the original and original author.

I wonder if Charlie Buffinton had a similar problem to Ty Wigginton, with people constantly calling him "Buffington".
Harvey Watkins managed the New York Giants for 35 games in 1895. Most of his career was spent managing the Barnum & Bailey Circus and the Buffalo Bill Wild West Show.
Charles Barrett was a long-time scout, mostly working for whatever team was employing Branch Rickey.
