Patrick Kennedy recently shared the sad news that Kingston sports legend Eddie Long has passed away at the age of 83.

Claire Smith: Mattingly doing what Mattingly usually does
“If you give it time, there will always be a moment in which the Phillies interim manager goes … well … full-on Don Mattingly. He becomes one of the most down-to-earth, self-deprecating All-Star baseball men most of us have seen in our lifetimes.
Stoic at times, but with twinkles in his eyes and a warm smile when speaking about anyone other than himself, Don Mattingly refuses, as always, to count himself in that class of unapproachable baseball royalty.”
