West, who has umpired in a record 43 seasons since 1976 and in 51 ballparks, is renowned for having been in the middle of more controversies than any umpire in modern history. He also doubles as a country singer known as “Cowboy Joe” and once was a featured performer at Gilley’s in Houston, where his reviews were considerably better than the ones he has received from players, manager and fans at those 51 parks.

“Pretty awesome,” Joc Pederson said Friday of his first Cubs-Cards experience. “You always come to St. Louis, and they have a great fan base, they’re super respectful to the game.

Angeliki Vassilatos, an 18-year-old senior at Whitney Young Magnet High School, is taking a gap year following graduation to work on a farm in Seattle.

Dear Upset: You don’t mention what business this gift card was for, or how you define “sex shop,” but yes — any gift card for any business even loosely affiliated with a sex shop (including a gift card for lingerie) would be completely inappropriate and outrageous as any kind of professional bonus.
