Baseball s vagabonds might be on the move again.
Tuesday s news that the Oakland Athletics have received MLB s blessing to begin exploring options for relocation doesn t necessarily mean that the A s stay in Oakland is coming to end. It does mean that it has gotten to the point where the franchise feels the need to have an exit strategy. Apparently, commissioner Rob Manfred feels the same way.

Cubs oldest position players, pitchers By JohnW53 on Apr 12, 2021, 6:22am CDT +
Who was the oldest in the Modern Era?
Who was their oldest pitcher?
Who was their oldest pitcher in his final season?
Each of those questions has a different answer.
....
Nearly 125 years after his final game,
Cap Anson remains the oldest player in franchise history to appear anywhere other than on the mound.
The last game of his remarkable, 27-season career No. 2,524 overall and No. 2,277 for Chicago came on Oct. 3, 1897. That day, Anson was
45 years, 169 days old.
He had been 19 days past his 19th birthday when he played his first game, for the Rockford Forest Citys, on May 6, 1871.

It’s opening day of the 2021 Major League baseball season, and here are some photographs and stories about the old ball game at Bates.
High Pitch
The Bates Student and an “elongated lefty” by the
Bangor Daily News, the late Donald Webster ’41 wore this glove as a 6-foot-5 lefthanded Bobcat pitcher. He was also a standout high jumper who held the Maine indoor record.
With a nifty curveball and changeup, Webster one-hit the University of Maine 70 years ago this month, allowing only two fly-ball outs and striking out eight.
