Manny to Chicago?
Yahoo Sports reported that the Los Angeles Dodgers will send slugger Manny Ramirez to the White Sox on Monday, most likely by granting Chicago's waiver claim. Ramirez made a pinch-hitting appearance for the Dodgers against Colorado on Sunday and was ejected for arguing balls and strikes on the
first pitch.
What a legacy in La La Land.
Best wishes, Bob
Former Indians great Bob Feller, 91, watched Sunday's game from his customary seat in the Cleveland press box. The third-oldest living Hall of Famer had missed five games while having treatment for leukemia.
"I feel better and the doctors say it is treatable," Feller told the Associated Press.
History lesson
The Blue Jays honored righthander Dave Stieb, who threw the only no-hitter in Toronto history 20 years ago this week, beating Cleveland, 3-0, on Sept. 2, 1990. (The losing pitcher in that game was Bud Black, now the San Diego Padres' manager.)
Former Jays Jesse Barfield, Tony Fernandez, Pat Hentgen and Duane Ward joined Stieb on the field for the ceremony.
Fast facts
