Please take a moment to think of John, Keri and Alyssa Altobelli and their family.
Brewster Whitecaps PA Announcer and good friend Jim Nowak sent me this photo.
The baseball world is grieving today, as well.
Astros Outfielder Josh Reddick said it was confetti on his chest in that widely shared picture accusing Reddick of wearing a buzzer or wire.
You can see him pick off the piece of gold confetti in the middle of an interview with our

I don’t know how anyone can hate Jose Altuve…
10 year old Jack just had a birthday and held up a sign asking to meet Altuve.
Jose saw it and came right over, signed an autograph and took a picture.
Martin Maldonado says he asked Yordan Alvarez today if he had a sore back…
When Yordan asked why, Maldy said “from carrying the team and 41,000 fans on it

BREAKING:

Newspapers & digital media companies around the country have 7 days to waiver claim him until he becomes a free agent.
Sad to see you go my friend.

JJ Watt is pissed.
“There are fans that put in time and energy and effort and care about this...we make a whole lot of money to play this game, if you can’t care enough...even when you’re trash.
You shouldn’t be here.
That’s bulls***.
I feel bad for our fans...

“I don’t care about rescinding titles or games or awards, I don’t care about that...I just want teams to be scared to do it in the future.”
Texans are 0-2.
DeAndre Hopkins plays for a 2-0 team, and has 22 catches for 219 yards and 1 TD so far this season.
Texans WRs have not scored this season.

Then, they leave the field.
Tonight's game is postponed.
Something to watch for tonight...
AJ Hinch makes a strong statement regarding Yankee fan behavior.
Hinch says he’ll pull the team off the field if a fan hits an Astros player with something:
For any fans upset with Deshaun Watson:
Deshaun Watson isn't asking for much.
All he wants is to not play for the most dysfunctional franchise in football. That's it. Not to be the QB for the worst-run team in the league.
If the Texans can't do that, they don't deserve him.
The Texans get Baylor Safety Jalen Pitre at 37th overall. Jalen played HS ball at Stafford HS.
Jalen’s family could not be more thrilled he’s staying home.
