EACH THE MASTER OF THEIR OWN DOMAIN
“My reasoned choice is as indifferent to the reasoned choice of my neighbor, as to his breath and body. However, much we’ve been made for cooperation, the ruling reason in each of us is master of its own affairs.

1973-1979 : My Athletes of the Year
Yankee Stadium Photo by Eric Beato Photo by Jim Accordino 1973 : Bobby Murcer 1973 was my first year watching sports. The second Yankee game I ever attended was versus the Royals in July. Bobby Murcer his three home run into the Bleachers, where I sat with my brother, father and grandfather. I knew the record was four in a game, and the stadium sat perched for history.

Winners in 2020: The Houston Astros?
So the 2020 season is going to be off to a really late start since MLB and the MLBPA couldn't seem to reach an agreement on how to proceed for the longest time. This unprecedented year in the sport affects everyone involved differently: owners and the league are losing revenue, players are losing income, and minor leaguers are getting released.
