RIP Fred White

Fred White, a Royals radio voice for 25 years, died Wednesday due to complications from melanoma, a day after announcing his retirement following a 40-year relationship with the club.

White teamed with Denny Matthews on broadcasts from 1973-98, and since had served as the team’s director of broadcast services and the Royals Alumni.

His retirement was due to health issues, and he died in hospice care.

You can't make this stuff up . . .

Unless it's the shows producers trying to goose interest in the first episode by having one of the stars go off the rails. In which case, you can...

Staged events in reality TV? Impossible.

I always get the sense that hockey players read from the Crash Davis textbook for interviews, not because they're seeking to be non-controversial, but because they can't form complete sentences without a script.

Although you get a real classic interview now and then.
For instance Ilya Bryzgalov, bonus marks for content, delivery, interaction with the reporter. He's a star. He even does MATH. Off the top of his head!

Too bad about Derek Jeter's break-up.

Don't worry about me. I'll get along OK.

"Competitive golfers, in general, were the most incurious group of athletes I encountered."

Athletes? With servants carrying their clubs for them? I'll settle for sportsmen.

I assumed this was a well-established fact? In my view, it goes basketball -> hockey -> football -> baseball -> tennis -> golf.

Take hockey out, and what you've basically created there is a racial version of the Bill James defensive spectrum.

Please don't tell me you think Tyra is hotter. I could see the argument for Julie Taylor...maybe...but not Tyra.

Yes to both of them. Easily.

So if baseball bans batboys, then ballplayers can become athletes too. Yippee!

Well, we HAVE gotten ridden of the bullpen golf carts...

I think people are waiting for the premier of C-SPAN's The Ladies of the State Department - where Albright, Clinton, and Rice live in an embassy compound together and fend off advances from international badboys like Moamar Gaddaffi.

Any current players whose wives can stack up to Mrs. Jose Lima and Mrs. Mark Kotsay?

Don't forget about Julianna Zobrist

Aki Iwamura's wife is a cutie too

Don't forget about Julianna Zobrist

Is she trying out for some werewolf/vampire tween movie?

Yeah, a man who carries a heavy load for his player during the contest is directly comparable to a kid who runs out to clear the field of debris.
