Clarence "Pants' Rowland spent his life in baseball. A catcher, he went on to manage the Chicago White Sox to the World Championship in 1917. He was an American League umpire from 1923-1927. He was also a minor league manager and executive, and was president of the Pacific Coast League from 1944-1954. He is a member of the Pacific Coast League Hall of Fame.
Mike Martin won over 2,000 games as the head coach of Florida State.
Cam Bonifay was the general manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates from 1993-2001 and is currently working in the Cincinnati organization.
Ryan Lefebvre appeared in six minor league games for the Watertown Indians in 1993. He was a Twins broadcaster in 1997 and 1998 before moving to Kansas City in 1999, where he has been a broadcaster for the Royals ever since.
Joe Bitker was drafted by Minnesota in the sixth round in the 1984 January draft, but he did not sign.
This is a great day for players with colorful nicknames. In addition to those listed above, we have Sweetbread Bailey (1895), Kiddo Davis (1902), Dutch Dietz (1912), Monk Dubiel (1918), and Woody Main (1922).

Wordle is in the air tonight.
Super Bowl LVIII: Kansas City Chiefs vs. San Francisco Giants
This is a big game and emotions are high, but I know the result we're all pulling for: I really hope that Taylor can make it on time!
But seriously, anyone have any strong preferences in this one? I would've preferred a Ravens/Lions matchup. Would have been a little more colorful at least (unless Detroit wore those all grey jerseys, which, honestly, I don't mind).
I think, as usual, I will be rooting for my numbers in the Squares pool.

Kenjiro Tamiya is a member of the Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame, playing from 1949-1963. He began as a pitcher, and came within one out of pitching the first perfect game in Nippon Pro Baseball history. A shoulder injury required him to switch to the outfield in 1952. He was a seven-time all-star.
We would also like to wish a very happy birthday to Moss.

Admittedly, the NYT does have a pretty sweet suite of daily puzzle games. I'm there every day. I just started doing the spelling bee one and finally got my first "Genius" level. Boo-yah.
