A little trivia note.....out of curiosity the other day I wondered about pensions for MLB players. I checked and it's amazing.

*1* Day in the Majors gets you free health care for life.

43 days gets you a $34,000 pension.

That 1 day and free healthcare for life is insane.

IDK about your html question, looks pretty normal to me.

Update on @JDMartinez14: X-Rays showed a non-displaced fracture of the radial neck at the right elbow.

A couple years ago, I had the exact same injury JD has. I did not need a cast and it healed fairly quickly, but I'm not a baseball player.

Shit he's probably on at least the 15-day DL.

I had no idea that Mike Hessman finally retired.

NYPL preview: Hessman to help Tigers hit Minor League career HR leader joins experienced Connecticut staff

In Minor League home run king Mike Hessman's 20 seasons as a professional baseball player, the only thing that might be more impressive than his penchant for the long ball is the mileage he has logged along the way.

Though the California native has played everywhere from Macon, Georgia to Kobe, Japan, he had yet to come across Norwich, Connecticut in his travels.

That all changed when, just a week following his retirement from playing, he was announced as the hitting coach for the Connecticut Tigers, starting a new career in the game that he hopes to find similar longevity in.

Either there's a celebrity game in KC, or Royals are determined Michael Fulmer's scoreless streak ends tonight.

It's always so much fun to watch a kid come up and do well. I hope Moya gets on a run this time and if not let's see what Jacoby Jones can do.

Whew, baseball gods are still working OT

This kid is a cool customer. Signing Cespedes led to getting him, might be our best FA signing ever.

Went to bed with the score 0-0 thinking "it's really amazing that Fulmer hasn't given up a HR in over 30 innings".

Shazam.

I feel terrible.

Tigers call up infielder Casey McGehee from Toledo

Kansas City, Mo. — When he was pulled out of the game in Toledo last night, Casey McGehee was suspicious. Something had to be up. Either he was getting released or going to back to the show.

“I wasn’t sure what to make of it,” he said.

The news was good. The Tigers, who had sent right-handed pitcher Buck Farmer back to Toledo after the game Friday night, purchased McGehee’s contract and got him a plane ticket to Kansas City.

The emotions were still flowing when he spoke to the media before the game Saturday.

“I’ve been through pretty much every level of this game that you can imagine, short of being a superstar or all-star,” he said. “I’ve had really good years and really crappy years. I’ve had OK years. I’ve been sent down and released. I went to Japan and came back.

Mostly, though, McGehee is here because of his hot right-handed bat. He was hitting .323 at Toledo with a .440 slugging percentage and.810 OPS. He hit four home runs, 17 doubles and knocked in 17 runs.

Chris McCosky ‏@cmccosky
Bruce Rondon and Kyle Ryan called up from Toledo. Must mean Sanchez is moving back to rotation

Chris McCosky ‏@cmccosky 20m20 minutes ago
Or, possibly, Norris could be called up before Thursday start (which was Boyd's slot)
