    Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty Images The Cubs got the game in and got a great pitching performance. Let me get this out of the way first.

But they got the game in, though it rained pretty hard from about the seventh inning on. So, mea culpa, they played, got Opening Day in — ...2024

This untimely end to his playing career can’t help but make Cowboys fans think of Sean Lee, Jaylon Smith, and other linebackers who saw their time cut short, or at least significantly hampered, by medical issues.

He was a September callup in 1979 and played in only 15 games for the Expos in 1980. One of t...2024

Timeline

  • 2024
    "Pre-game, the Cubs had their living Hall of Famers come to the mound for a first-pitch ceremony, and it was great to see Fergie Jenkins, Lee Smith, Andre Dawson and Billy Williams together — and Billy looked great, I thought."
