Right before the game that same day, Pitcher Edinson Volquez father Daniel Volquez died in the Dominican Republic from heart problems. The thing about it was the whole team knew about this tragic death but his own son Edinson.

The number five slot especially has been a position of: " let's just throw something against the wall and see what sticks." Tanaka, who once was considered the Yankees ace has declined dramatically leaving fans to hold their breath every time he takes the mound. Tanaka's ERA sits at 5.37, over a 2 pt difference from what he finished with in 2016. Another telling stat is the HR numbers. Tanaka has given up more HRs at this point in the season than he had finished with in each of the last three seasons.

Jr. Walker, born Autry Dealt Mixon in Blytheville, Arkansas on June 14, 1931, was a sensational saxophone player, as well as vocalist. Jr. started playing in high school, though he did not meet his All Stars until the late 50’s. In his mid-teens, he formed his first instrumental group, the Jumping Jacks, and adopted the stage name Junior Walker after a childhood nickname. After a move to Michigan, the band was rebranded as Jr. Walker and the All Stars.

Not only did he have the individual statistics, but he also helped lead the Pirates to two World Series Championships, in 1960 and 1971; he won the MVP for the 1971 series as well. He thought about retirement after the 1971 season but felt there was more to be gained in representing the Latino population. Following the 1972, where he had achieved the milestone of 3,000 career hits, he went to deliver aid to earthquake victims in Nicaragua but perished when his plane crashed in the ocean. A few months after his death, in April 1973, the Baseball Writers of America voted to induct Clemente into the Baseball Hall of Fame, where he became the first Latino player to ever be inducted.

Have you ever had the feeling that, something you see everyday, but you kept ignoring it, like a small tree in your backyard, because it was so insignificant, and suddenly one day, it popped right in front of your eyes because it grew so big that you had to pay attention, and you’re just like, “where did THAT come from? Has it been there the whole time?”

The very first official NHL All-Star Game was held a long, long time ago - in the 1947-48 NHL season. And many things have changed in those 62 years - the format of the All-Star Game, rules etc. But there have also been "unofficial" ALL-Star games, like the Hod Stuart Benefit All-Star Game in 1908 between Montreal Wanderers and the Eastern Canada Amateur Hockey Association stars. It was something similar to the modern All-Star Games, but they were held for a beneficial reason. So this first game was in honour of Hod Stuart who was a IPHL (International Professional Hockey League - the predecessor of NHL) player who had drowned just after winning the Stanley Cup. And til 1947 there have been several more beneficial All-Star Games like this.

The Houston Astros have been the class of Major League Baseball, leading both leagues with 44 wins and a lofty .688 winning percentage. Their lineup is outstanding, led by young stars Jose Altuve, Carlos Correa and George Springer, and top starting pitchers Dallas Keuchel (9-0) and Lance McCullers (6-1). However, Keuchel is on the 10-day disabled list with a nerve issue in his neck and may be shut down longer, considering nerve problems are very dangerous and the Astros are running away with the AL West, currently holding a 12-game lead over the second place L.A. Angels.

There has been no better time in history for women to break ground in the ranks of Major League Baseball.

Lincecum did not pitch at all in 2017 and had a 9.16 ERA in 38.1 innings in 2016. A series of injuries sidelined this former ace into what many considered his retirement. He descended into cryptid like status (https://nypost.com/2017/09/26/no-one-seems-to-know-where-tim-lincecum-disappeared-to/) after he was granted free agency at the end of the 2016 season. But now he is back, and he wants to pitch.

For many baseball fans, and for Toronto Blue Jays fans in particular, Jose Bautista is the face of the franchise. He was signed to the Jays in 2008 and has been a staple and foundational player both on the field and off of it. So, it was heartbreaking, but not completely unexpected, to learn that the Jays won’t be picking up Bautista’s option.

One arm isn’t going to save the Nationals in 2017. Unfortunately, it won’t be newly-signed veterans Francisco Rodriguez and Kevin Jepsen, either.

The character Alonzo does dominate women but this domination is selective. For example, fourteen and fifty second in the Alonzo verbally threaten the female college student during the drug stop. Alonzo stated “move again and I’ll slap the taste out your Mouth”. But eleven minutes and thirty second Alonzo self-disclosed he has four children and refer to one of his children mother as Queens. The term Queen is use to described a woman of foremost or preeminent respect (Dictionary). To be respected is to be equal. I can only conclude Alonzo desire to dominate women is selective.
