ICYMI - Trailblazing Harrigan conquers pulmonary embolism, helps LA win World Series

“With two outs and an 0-2 count to Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Willy Adames in the top of the ninth inning of Game 6 of the World Series, Ellen Harrigan was standing up and cheering with the two other members of her Los Angeles Dodgers “pod” at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. In a season that had presented more than its fair share of personal and professional challenges, the Dodgers senior director of baseball administration and Agincourt, Ont., native refused to let COVID-19 or her recovery from a pulmonary embolism keep her from experiencing history.”

Langdon: Bobby Smyth built fences, ball diamonds and more in Etobicoke

“There is a 10-foot extension atop a chain link fence that protects a house on a hill overlooking a ball field in Etobicoke in west end Toronto. It was known by neighbourhood kids in the 1960s as ‘the fence that Smyth built.’ Almost 60 years later, the post-World War II bungalow on the hill has been replaced by a modern ‘monster’ home, but that extended, weather-beaten fence on the edge of Lambton-Kingsway Park still stands. It represents a beginning of the amateur ball legacy of Etobicoke’s own Bob Smyth.”
