This breaks my heart. I watched it happen and couldn’t stop fretting the rest of the game. They’ve been coming together as a team so well lately, but this will surely throw them off. Hopefully not too much? *hopes foolishly*

Get well soon Freddie!

Commissioner Starts to Press Cleveland Indians About Logo

In a statement, Rob Manfred was said to have expressed a desire “to transition away from the Chief Wahoo logo,” a smiling caricature the team uses that many find offensive.

Covering the Bases: Game 3 – Major League Bastian

Francisco Lindor hits a go-ahead grand slam, the first grand slam of his career- April 5, 2017

Lindor atones for error with grand slam

ARLINGTON -- On Wednesday night, inside the visitors' dugout at Globe Life Park, Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor was apologizing, even though starting pitcher Danny Salazar would not hear it. Mistakes happen, and a defensive lapse by Lindor is as rare a mistake as they come in baseball. But Lindor's mood was unaffected. His blunder in the fifth inning cost Cleveland big. The shortstop with the famous smile was fuming. When he hit his first home run of the game, a solo shot in the sixth, he scowled his way around the bases.

Who did it better?  Adam Wainwright, or 50 Cent?
