The Anaheim Angels, currently in last place in the American League West and sporting the worst team ERA in baseball, have acquired relief pitcher Hunter Strickland from the Tampa Bay Rays, it was announced today.
Because we all enjoy hating and laughing at the Angels, this move is one we should appreciate. If the name Hunter Strickland sounds familiar, it’s because he’s become known for being an angry redass. Strickland achieved notoriety for hitting Bryce Harper with a pitch in May, 2017, which prompted a bench-clearing brawl and earned Strickland a suspension.

Where did you grow up, and what memories do you have of your childhood?
I loved my childhood. I’m really happy that I grew up in Indianapolis. I grew up in Pike Township. I went to New Augusta North for middle school and Pike High School for a little bit.

When Wina Aaron arrived to the United States from Eritrea in 2010, around age 7, she remembers being shocked by the number of cars on the highway leading her away from the airport.
Aaron s family left the east-African country, which for years experienced a violent war with Ethiopia, its neighbor to the south. She lived with her mother and two younger siblings her father had gone ahead of them to the U.S. In my head, I thought he was just trying to leave us, she said Thursday. Growing older, I understood that that s not what it was. He was trying to keep us safe, move us to a place where I wouldn t have to be afraid of going to school. Where I could go out in public without having to be terrified.
