All I remember is him throwing interceptions. Very strong and accurate arm, but could not read defenses.

Played for a long time.

Yeah. Long enough to lead the league in interceptions four times. And came close another four times.

And they also have two MLB stadiums (one current, one recent former) that are right next to one another.

Idea is to get to the playoffs and then have to cancel the season.

The NBA has pulled it off in a hot spot. Just need to get the players into the bubble sans virus and make sure they don’t escape.

They should replace the mechanism by which people get their names on the scoreboard between innings ("Mazel Tov Ethan on your Bar Mitzvah"; "Welcome Goebbels, Speer, and Heydrich LLP Summer Associates") with background announcements during innings.

Imagine a pitching change interrupted by "Congratulations, Susan Erickson, on your impending divorce!" or "Attention, owner of the cutout in section 132, row C, seat 11: you have honey mustard in your neckroll."

So, a rules question...

The 3 batter rule doesn't apply if the pitcher completes an inning. But what if a pitcher comes in and faces only tht last batter in that half inning, and then starts the next half inning. Can he be taken out after facing one batter in that next half inning, or is he obliged to face at least 3 batters at that point?

He must face two more batters.

If a pitcher faces one batter to end an inning, he may be removed, but if he is brought back for a second inning, he must still face two more batters for a total of three.
