The Texas Rangers installed a deeply controversial statue in their ballpark concourse this spring. And they aren't willing to provide answers as to why it's there.
Yikes.

“Nancy Hansen is a mom, so she can tell when her son is lying to her.
But from behind a glass wall at quarantined NASA facilities, Jeremy Hansen—the Canadian who will, if all goes to plan, launch to the moon Weds—was relaxed as ever.”

Delightful read from @MarkColley: These Toronto same-sex couples made history 25 years ago with marriages that included international media, police guards and bulletproof vests. Still together, just living their lives thestar.com/news/gta/their-w…

I met Jean through her neighbour Karen, who reached out after seeing my Black Jays project. A Jays fan since ’77. When I visited for Game 5, Vlad Jr. came up to bat—I told her to look at the TV. He hit a home run. She lost it. #BlackJays

A rare tweet! I couldn't be happier for Davis Schneider and his family. This story from last year is a big reason why.

Little noticed from last night: Chris Bassitt appeared to be dealing with some sort of bleeding from his right hand during his appearance in the eighth inning.
