https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/mike-greenwell-death-boston-red-sox/ Longtime Boston Red Sox outfielder Mike Greenwell has died at 62 years old. Greenwell played his entire career with the Red Sox, starting in 1985 through his retirement in 1996. In 1988, Greenwell finished second in the American League MVP race to Jose Canseco. At the time of his death, Greenwell was serving as County Commissioner in Lee County, Florida after first being appointed to the position in 2022. Greenwell won re-election in 2024. Lee County is located in southwest Florida, and includes the Red Sox Spring Training home of Fort Myers. Greenwell's wife told Florida news station WINK that he died Thursday while in Boston. Greenwell told the station in August that he had been receiving treatment for medullary thyroid cancer. "It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Commissioner Mike Greenwell, a lifelong Lee County resident. He was a strong advocate for the people and businesses of Lee County and will be remembered for seeking meaningful solutions to the challenges his community faced," the Lee County Government page posted on Facebook. "We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends and all who were touched by his leadership." During his 12-year career with the Red Sox, Greenwell had a batting average of .303 to go along with 130 home runs and 726 RBI. Greenwell played sparingly in his first two seasons, then finished fourth in Rookie of the Year voting in 1987. A year later, he made the American League All-Star team, was second in the MVP race and earned a Silver Slugger award. Greenwell earned a second All-Star appearance in 1989. Funeral services for Greenwell have not yet been announced.

Nope...

Yay Blue Jays!!!

This has to be Connor McDavid's year to win the Cup, no?

Get the man to third with one out so he could score on a sac fly... Also I am guessing that the manager believed he wouldn't pull the ball to the right side of the infield or strikeout, so he gambled with the bunt...

Watched "The Autopsy of Jane Doe" again last night... Many, many props to Olwen Kelly again...

Hopefully the Blue Jays wrap it up tonight...

Phucking Phillies... If everything holds, hopefully the Brewers can knock off the Dodgers...

Yep, in the loss column…

First incompletion was around 11 minutes to go in the fourth quarter... His last two came in the last minute of the game...

A lot of data centers going up, and fast, around here...

What did they expect trying to build a bridge between the two peaks…

The redshirt sophomore set a new NCAA record for consecutive completions in a game when he completed his first 46 passes of the game. It broke the previous record of 36, which was set by East Carolina's Dominique Davis in 2011. The FCS record was previously held by Princeton's Quinn Epperly with 29 completions. Dickens finished the game with 378 passing yards and three passing touchdowns, completing 53-of-56 attempts for a completion percentage of 94.6%. He also led the Catamounts with 44 rushing yards on 19 attempts. All three of his touchdown passes were to James Tyre, who led the team with 13 catches for 102 receiving yards. He also led the Catamounts on a 51-yard game-winning drive, spanning 16 plays, which ended with Marcus Trout's 34-yard field goal with 23 seconds remaining. The Catamounts forced a fumble on the kickoff to secure the win. Dickens missed the first three games of the season, leading to an 0-3 start for the Catamounts. Since his return, Western Carolina has won three consecutive games, including two conference wins, and Dickens has looked like the best player in FCS football. In only three games, Dickens has completed 80.3% of his passes for 1,387 passing yards, 13 touchdowns, and no interceptions. He started his season against Campbell, throwing for a career-high 582 yards and tied the program record with six passing touchdowns. Dickens followed that up with 427 passing yards and four touchdowns against Samford last weekend. The expectations were high for Dickens entering his redshirt sophomore season. He was named the Preseason SoCon Offensive Player of the Year, second-team States Perform FCS All-American, and was named to the Preseason Walter Payton Watch List. He turned heads in four starts last season, replacing the injured Cole Gonzales, who transferred to Pittsburgh this spring. He went 3-1 as the starter, completing 73.1% of his passes for 1,366 yards, 12 touchdowns, and only three interceptions. Dickens was selected to the SoCon All-Freshman Team and earned Freshman All-American honors. With Western Carolina's win over Wofford, the Catamounts moved to 2-0 in SoCon play, making them one of three undefeated teams in conference play. The Catamounts will host Furman, which is 2-0 in conference play, next weekend in a major SoCon matchup.

I had 29 in the nine seasons listed...

Hell I got suspended one time for announcing a death there like I do here, even though there wasn't a contest there...
