Chattanooga News, November 25, 1920: Police today were investigating the death of an unidentified women beneath the wheels of an automobile, driven by Jesse Hassell, president of the Dallas Baseball club. Hassell faces a charge of criminal negligence, in causing the woman’s death.
This is the first time I’ve run across Jesse Hassell but I think he may be about to become a Dugout regular. I’ve found stories about him getting drunk and running over four people, having his wife throw acid all over him after she found him with another woman, buying the baseball stadium in Dallas while he was trying to sell the team, injuring two women when he drove into their car, having a restraining order preventing him from driving a car in Dallas County, and having the KKK come out in support of his wife.
He’s the opposite of good-natured drunkard and Dugout regular Tubby Spencer. He’s Evil Tubby.

Basically, if you were strictly a position player who didn't have a stint with the Yankees, you sucked.

Mark 'Hard Hittin' Whiten was on the 1997 Yankees? HTF did I miss that completely.
It will take five-six weeks after you get the first dose before your immunity will be built up. I wonder if MLB could get a priority for the players and umpires to get the vaccine say, in February. This would let them start the season on time (without fans) should they want to. I’m guessing that it might be April-May before the vaccines are widely available to anyone who wants to take it, so it might be June before it would be safe for fans to attend games. One big question is whether they will require proof of vaccination before selling people tickets.
This is all speculation now, but I’d be surprised if the schedule goes much faster than that. MLB might just want to delay the start of the season and play a 120-130 game season with fans.
