I didn’t remember that but I do remember Elijah Scott and I wish he was invited back.I don’t follow baseball that much but realized the Atlanta Braves were doing well this year. Made me think of Elijah Scott. Don’t know if any of you remember but Elijah told us in his interview that he was a baseball guy and the Braves were his favorite team.
By the way, this is Cody’s dad, Clay Bellenger when he played with Yanks twenty years ago.

I love a man in pinstripes. lol
With “my” Yankees having an early exit this season and “my” New York Football Giants off to a 1-4 start, my attention is turning to “my” 2021-2022 Duke Blue Devils who had their first public practice last night in “Countdown to Craziness”. I couldn’t help but notice a newcomer to the team, Stanley Borden, a 7 foot, 240 lbs Freshmen from Istanbul Turkey.

As my sports attention is starting to focus in on college basketball and my Duke Blue Devil’s ACC conference, it came to my attention that Syracuse will now have both of coach Jim Boeheim’s college age sons. Buddy Boeheim has had my attention for several years now will be a senior.

I can’t wait for the first Duke-Syracuse game this season.
By the way, Duke’s best player this year is projected to Paolo Banchero Born: November 12, 2002 (age 18 years), Seattle, WA, Height: 6′ 10″Weight: 250 lbs. He could be a very special college and later pro player.

He could turn out to be Coach K’s last great Dukie!!!!Yes he is a "big deal" in these parts. He was expected to go to Gonzaga, but his heart was set on Duke. O'Dea is a very prominent catholic high school here
