This might be the one issue where the U.S. Congress is united: a demand that the World Anti-Doping Agency show greater transparency if it ever wants to see another penny from the United States. With my colleague Mike Rothstein:

Marc Fogel, detained in Russia, is now free.
Is Marc Fogel’s release part of Trump’s Russia strategy? Hostage recovery is also a made-for-TV policy win.

Thinking about the time someone asked Bobby Valentine about Ichiro, who was still in Japan. He said, “he’s one of the five best outfielders in the world.”
I said, “as in Barry Bonds, Ken Griffey Jr…”
“Yes.”

My god it was fun to be around Uecker. When you went to Milwaukee (preferably in the old park), getting a brat and sitting with or near him meant listening to the greatest storyteller/comedian you ever heard. He was part of what made the game great.
It’s the day we all hoped would never come. Bob Uecker, the voice of the Brewers for the last 54 years and “Mr. Baseball” to fans around the world, passed away overnight, according to his family and the team. He was 90.
