Here's the Cruz limerick some have requested: My feelings bout Cruz are complex His home runs soar several decks He's kind and he's shy But if he'd caught that fly We wouldn't still have this damn hex.

A kind man just came up to our table and said “it’s Easter. I am buying a book for the next person who comes up to the table.” Gave me the $20 and left. Then a guy came up and said “sorry I don’t have the money to buy a book. I recently got out of prison .” THANK YOU BOTH!!!

RIP Whitey Herzog. Before my first MLB broadcast in 1979 I asked Whitey for one piece of baseball wisdom I need to remember. He said, “Nothing makes a manager look dumber than a bad bullpen.” And I’ve never forgotten it. Thanks Whitey.
