Orioles top prospect Gunnar Henderson made his major league debut yesterday. He hit a home run in his second at-bat and went 2 for 4. His family and girlfriend were there on short notice – he only found out the night before that he was being called up. He is now the youngest player (21) in the majors and has a bright future.
9/1 – he made two fine plays at shortstop
He has now hit in all four games he has played in. Even his foul balls are memorable.
Orioles players who hit a home run now wear a home run chain that is put on them by another player. The chain originally came from a fan. You can now buy a replica chain online. I posted a picture of mine.

Today’s tweet on the Alfredo sauce spill is why I decided to look further.
Firesign Theatre had the line “There’s hamburger all over the highway in Mystic, Connecticut.”
Surf’s Up was their 17th album. I have a poster which I assume was a promotional item.
The first version of the title track
“You’ve Really Got a Hold on Me” is a 1962 song by Smokey Robinson, recorded by his group, the Miracles. The Beatles covered it in 1963.
Trump is being investigated for much worse activity. Don’t compare the two.
Sad!
