Thanks, mO.  It was fun to go back and re-live the moment.

Paul Sullivan  @PWSullivan   6m6 minutes ago

Just spoke with umpire Angel Hernandez at Sox Park. Angel said he looked at video of last pitch to Rizzo and that it was off plate by three inches, should've been ball four. "Rizzo was right... I'm not perfect."

I'm not sure he deserves admiration for being bad at his job

Nobody's perfect, but a handful of umpires are at least a little closer to that standard than Angel Hernandez.

A kid at my school today was wearing a Cubs jersey with the date 7-2-11 written on the back -- no player's name, just the date.

He said he had no idea what it referenced, and wasn't even really a Cubs fan, but his family merely got the jersey and he was wearing it.

Any ideas as to the relevance of the date?

I thought it might have been a Baez fan commemorating the date that he signed with the Cubs, but I just checked and he didn't sign until August.  Hendry was fired on 7/22/11, so that isn't it.  It's a day when the Cubs lost a game 1-0 to the White Sox.  https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHN/CHN201107020.shtml

Anyone else have a guess as to the significance of the 7-2-11 date?

Have you checked anything from 1911?  Could be that...

I have no clue.

Maybe it was some kids high school locker combination number and they got the shirt from goodwill.

It wasn't handwritten on the shirt.  It might have been put on the shirt by special order, but it appeared to have come with the jersey.

Doesn't seem likely the "11" would refer to an 11 inning game in the middle of an incomplete season.

BREAKING. The #Cubs organization will no longer be producing Vine Line, the magazine that many of us Cubs fans grew up loving. The last issue will be in December. Very sad

Very sad, indeed.  Like The Sporting News, and a lot of other magazines and papers, a large part Vine Line's demise was the Internet.  Surprising it lasted this long.

Glanville Offseason Journal: Traded in the offseason, but life goes on

Quote
He explained very clearly that the organization tried to give the everyday job to “everyone else but you,” but was complimentary in how I was able to take advantage of the opportunity when it presented itself.

A must read
