And, by all accounts, the most decent person in the history of baseball as well.

It probably says something bad about me, but a little part of me is very happy that somewhere out there, Hamilton Samuels is loudly and angrily blaming the umpires.

From Little Rock.  One of my in-laws saw him play American Legion baseball there in the early fifties.  The Human Vacuum Cleaner was even then showing a quick glove. 

Only Carl Yazstremski (who visited my middle school when we lived in Boston) matched him for single team loyalty.  Both played 23 seasons for their teams.

"Loyalty" does not really describe it. They played the bulk of their careers in an era when the players had no choice in the matter.

Welcome Steven Vogt.

Saw an article listing the most recent MVP for each MLB team. Wanna guess the only MLB team whose most recent MVP is currently dead?

Though to be fair, 3 teams have never had an MVP, including the Mess, and one Cleveland player should have gotten the MVP in 1995 except he was a gigantic gaping asshole to everyone around him but especially the press who vote the award.

<edit> Keeping the typo.

I see Michael Brantley has retired, his place city cemented in the Hall of Pretty Good.

And when he enters that Hall he'll immediately go on the disabled list.

Speaking of retirement and injuries, Corey Kluber has retired after a five year Hall of Fame career followed by five years of injury and disappointment.
