Alexander Cartwright was instrumental in developing the rules for the game of baseball.
Buzz Arlett was a star in the low minors from 1934-1941, and probably would have been for several more years had World War II not intervened. He had a career average of .319 with a slugging average of .480, but never played above Class C.
Tsutomu Wakamatsu was a star in Japan from 1971-1989, making the all-star team eleven times. His career average of .319 is second to Leron Lee on the all-time list of players with at least four thousand at-bats.
2021 Game 14: Twins vs. Angels of Some Multiple Locations
Your Minnesota Twins are back on the road tonight, opening their much-needed (apparently) road trip in California. Lewis Thorpe will be pitching for the Twins against Andrew Heaney for LA, and I really don't know what to expect. Some health might really help this team. Some reasonable bullpen performances would be great too.
Game time is 8:38. So watch the first 5 innings and go to bed before the bullpen blows the lead, because you should get some good sleep and you don't want to see that anyway.
Sorry, it's hard not to be a cynic right now, even after that walkoff win.
The Implants – Once Was I
I intended to have some more hopeful positive songs to finish out the week. Not how the week went but here is my last installment.
I don't know why I like this one so much, but its on my running list so I hear it a lot.
Bonus Videos because I can:

Friday Music Day – Whoops Guest DJ drops the Ball
I forgot to throw this up last night. It has been ... a week. Throw up your lists in the comments, but if you want to admit it what's your guilty pleasure song that you defend for no reason.
For me it's Ringo's Beatles songs because I find it hilarious, and Call Me Maybe because of DC memories playing Kickball.
My last video will be up later today when I find a video of it.
Happy Friday.
