Jack Morris is in trouble, and rightly so. We had gotten beyond — supposedly — using ethnic mockery as part of our professional motif, whether it’s in a baseball broadcast booth or any other corridor of American life. But he stepped in it pretty deeply Tuesday night when, during the Los Angeles Angels-Detroit Tigers broadcast, he lapsed
Identifying the hottest rookie of the past two weeks was easy this time around.

It wasn’t quite a caravan. But it was close. Spencer Torkelson and Ryan Kreidler loaded some of their stuff into Riley Greene’s truck before they all drove from Erie, Pennsylvania, to Toledo, Ohio, leaving about 15 minutes apart. “Riley has a big truck,” Torkelson said. “So he is kind of like the U-Haul for the boys.” Goodbye,
