* Could it be? Jeremy Hellickson is now the Rays oldest starting pitcher. He was Rookie of the Year in 2011. He’s 27–but still looks 15.
* Nice touch by the Chicago Cubs last Sunday in inviting Bucs’ play-by-play announcer Dewayne Staats, who used to call Cubs’ games back in the 1980s, to lead the Wrigley Field crowd in Take Me Out To The Ballgame during the seventh-inning stretch. Staats didn’t disappoint–and sported decent pipes. And a “God bless you, Harry (Carey)” shout-out was classy.
* This just in for Florida Gator fans: the Princeton Review’s annual ranking of top party schools has UF at #10. Meanwhile, the USA Today Poll has UF #27 in its pre-season football rankings, and U.S. News’ rankings of the top American universities has UF at #49.
Party on.
