    Interesting development, but the Blue Jays have options. They can play all their home games at their spring training facility in Dunedin, FL or at the venue of the Buffalo Bisons, their Triple-A affiliate. The Bisons' stadium, Coca-Cola field, is a top-notch facility.

    Babe Ruth. When Ruth hit 54 HRs in 1920, he eclipsed the total of 15 teams across the league. Ruth topped the HR total of 12 teams in 1927 when he crushed an MLB record 60. When Ruth hit 60, the AL avg for HRs per team was 58. When Bonds hit 73, the NL per team average was 185.

    Crushed at the loss of #NormMacdonald. Met him at the Tiger-Phil Match event three years ago. Told him that his performance at the White House Correspondence Dinner was by far the funniest stand up routine I've ever seen. He was full of energy, he didn't look down at all 1/2

    Before Twitter will be inundated with election posts tomorrow, I have some news. Last week, I became a free agent for the first time in 6 years. As with hundreds of others, I'm a casualty of the recent bloodletting in the sports betting affiliate industry. 1/2 #GamblingX
