Brian Out Loud

Major League Baseball tends to stick to tradition. It doesn’t embrace change the way other pro sports do, sometimes avoiding it like a plague.

That is until two weeks ago when commissioner Rob Manfred dropped the hammer on Atlanta by pulling the 2021 All-Star Game out of the city.

‘Keep it simple and nimble on the beach’

I read with horror in the 03/25 edition the natural wood and wire “sand fencing” will be replaced with white vinyl (plastic) “permanent” fencing.

‘Get Gaetz gone’

Given the recent accusations and involvement with Joel Greenburg (also an accused sex trafficker), I am waiting to see if once again Republican minions rally around “the lie” of a misunderstood poor (Rep.) Matt (Gaetz).
