Election Notes from All Over

As the Associated Press began declaring which presidential candidate had won each state, as the wind began to shift and then blow harder, as I started worrying that Trump might actually win the election, my inbox began to blow up.

It wasn't what I thought at first. It was each major league team announcing its players who won a Gold Glove for defensive excellence. Hey! Great timing folks!

I think the Pirates' announcement is particularly handsome.

In Arlington, Texas, voters approved a ballot proposition to pay for half of the $1 billion it is estimated that it will cost to construct a new stadium, with a retractable roof, for the Texas Rangers. The Dallas Morning News reported that the proposition passed in a "landside."

Dare I say it? Like many new stadiums, it takes a village.

As for the presidential election, Melvin, Watson and I are stunned, but we are college-educated, urban, whites. May god help us all.
