If baseball history is your thing, then Sunday night s matchup between the Los Angeles Angels and the Chicago White Sox was for you. Angels two-way phenom Shohei Ohtani finally got to pitch and hit in a major league game that was years in the making.
Pitchers who rake are usually more of a novelty. But not Ohtani.
He became the first pitcher to hit second in the lineup since Jack Dunleavy did it for the St. Louis Cardinals in 1903. Since the designated hitter became available in the American League in 1973, only a handful of pitchers have hit for themselves in games hosted by AL teams. Ken Brett did it twice in 1976; Andy Sonnanstine hit for himself in 2009 as the result of a mistake on the lineup card; and Madison Bumgarner, then with the San Francisco Giants, hit for himself in an interleague game against the Oakland A s in 2016.

Dear Editor:
Have you noticed that the flu seems to be nearly non-existent this year? Even the CDC states that flu activity is unusually low this season.
Has an increase in hand hygiene and properly wearing masks in public decreased flu incidence throughout the 2020-2021 flu season? Yes, I think so!
If wearing masks can reduce the spread of COVID-19, then maybe it can continue to reduce the spread of the flu in the future.
Respiratory droplets are how the flu transmits. This can be directly from person to person, say during a conversation, or from even touching a contaminated surface, like a door handle.
