6 July 2002
Friday: A’s over the Royals, 4-3. Another dramatic win in the 9th inning for the A’s. Yeehaw! 😀 In other A’s news, Carlos Peña has been traded to the Detroit Tigers. I’m bummed! I really liked Carlos. I’m still trying to figure it all out. We get pitcher Ted Lilly from the Yankees, as well as some minor leaguers. But I’m going to miss Carlos. Alas, no more “Carlos’ Corner.” I loved the peeks into the life of a major leaguer…
Baseball mourns Williams’ passing…
Vin Scully, the Hall of Fame voice of the Los Angeles Dodgers, best put Williams’ legacies into perspective:
“It was typical of him to become a Marine Air Corps pilot and see action and almost get shot down. He was a remarkable American as well as a remarkable ballplayer. His passing so close to a national holiday seems part of a divine plan, so we can always remember him not only as a great player but also as a great patriot.”
