Holy crap. Lou Brock had his left leg amputated. Complications from diabetes.

Just below the knee, but yeah. I'm obviously way too young to have seen him play, but he's always been around the Cardinals and it sucks to see that happen. That said, when I first saw the notification on my phone, I thought he'd died, so I suppose this is preferable. Hopefully the team helps take care of him and his family if they need it.
 
Re: MLB 2015-16: Grays Sports Almanac Edition

He retired in 1979. I started watching in 1981, so I barely missed him.

Unbelievable. If Lavelle E. Neal, a beat writer for the Twins, had voted for Sano for ROTY, Sano would have won it.

I think you miscalculated. Sano had 20 total points in the voting. The winner had 124. I don't think Neal's 1 vote is worth over 100 pts.

Huh. I had heard it on the Fan. I must have tuned in late and not realized it was a bit. :o

Dave Roberts is the Dodgers manager. Not sure LA should be taking on a rookie manager with their clubhouse.

I'm a little surprised not to see this story already posted here.

Former Twins legend Rod Carew in need of a heart transplant

Doctors were able to install a Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) during a six-hour surgery. As Rushin explains, an LVAD "acts as a bridge until a patient can receive a heart transplant."

At 70 years old, Carew is on the borderline for a transplant, but there's still hope he'll be able to get one in the United States. For now, Carew is focused on getting healthy enough to qualify for the heart transplant waiting list.

The whole thing sounds scary, but the article is actually fairly up-lifting. You should definitely read the whole thing here. Carew went through an awful experience, but he seems to be doing much better now. It's clear that the love and support of his family has been critical as he's gone through this ordeal.

I hope for the best --- one of the great ones from my younger days.

On a happier note, hope I get this under the tree! :D

Had to order that for Vera. She's a huge Jays fan.
 
Re: MLB 2015-16: Grays Sports Almanac Edition

Twins have 10 days left to sign Park. Be nice to not wait till the 11th hour on this.
 
Re: MLB 2015-16: Grays Sports Almanac Edition

David Price LHP, Red Sox, 7-Years, $217 million.

An average of $31 m/yr is going to make Greinke and Cueto hold out for a lot more cash then they may have taken otherwise. Cueto isn't worth the $120 m he turned down from D-Backs.

Byung Ho Park 1B/DH, Twins, 4-Years, $12 million.

The deal includes $12 million in guaranteed salary, with Park earning $2.75 million in 2016 and 2017 and $3 million in 2018 and 2019. The club option for 2020 is worth $6.5 million with a $500,000 buyout.

Just waitin' for a big hug, a sloppy kiss, and a BFF declaration between David Ortiz (the guy Price said "thinks he's bigger than the game") and Price (the guy Ortiz says he doesn't respect any more).
