      I finally got around to looking at the SI baseball preview so I could move the magazine from the coffee table to the recycling bin.

      In the team preview they made predictions for each team in 2030. Spoiler alert -- Tampa is moving to Charlotte in 2028 and led the league in attendance the first 3 years they were there.

      At the end they made a (tongue in cheek) prediction as what the 2030 cover of the baseball picture would look like. It was a picture of Shohei Ohtani with the headline reading:

      Pitcher
      Hitter
      Manager

      MLB's First 3-Way Player
      From the archive(2020)... :)

      I was watching 60 minutes back in 2017 when they ran a segment on someone I had never heard of before -- a 22 year old pitcher from Japan who both pitched and hit and apparently wasn't going to be interested in coming to MLB unless a team allowed him to do both. Found it on YouTube.


      If I had to live in all that snow I would have gladly moved to LA too, never mind all the $$$. :)
