“There are no longer any medium-sized towns without a small island, roundabout or narrowing,” he said. “Ten years ago, there were 1,100 dangerous points on the Tour de France. This year, there are 2,300. If the level of demand becomes too great, there will be no more finishes. That’s where we are.”

With the Cubs trailing 4-2 with one out in the seventh, and with no hits since the second inning, Wisdom came off the bench to pinch-hit for Kyle Hendricks and cranked a two-run blast to left-center off Brad Boxberger to tie the game. After Joc Pederson walked, Ian Happ foiled the shift with a shot to the left side of the infield, but Pederson was thrown out at third trying to take an extra base. Javier Báez struck out to end the threat.
“We’re trying everything,” Mets manager Luis Rojas said of Schwarber. “We’re pitching him in, away, right, down, up, bouncing balls. We’re trying everything there. This guy’s swinging a hot bat. He hasn’t just done it against us, we’re watching highlights of him doing it against other teams.”
“There were a lot of singles being hit (in May),” Ross said. “Right now we’re a little bit more swing-and-miss, a little more (slugging), a little more (hitting) solo homers, right? I think that’s the character of who we have, and the good pitching (combined) with that — we faced a lot of guys that pitch to swing-and-miss.”
“My mother lived life to the fullest,” Susan Reinsdorf said in a statement. “A devoted artist, a big heart, a big personality, a strong woman, she always fought for the underdog and was so compassionate and thoughtful of others.

“I think it’s really cool. You know, I saw the video chat a couple days ago, Garrett and everyone on the call, and I think it’s awesome. You know, these are the stories that (the Yankees) attract each and every year that ultimately become the stories we focus on for HOPE week. They always seem to be unique in nature. And always incredibly heartwarming. And this is one of those stories,” Boone said. “It was neat for me to get to meet her before I came in here and I’m looking forward to her being on the bench for a couple innings tonight.”
“I know that within an hour or two that we were here, Major League Baseball was already in touch with (general manager) Rick (Hahn) and concerned,” Sox manager Tony La Russa said. “Within minutes after (pitcher Michael) Kopech finished throwing (a simulated game) and Billy Hamilton and Zack (Collins) got maybe eight minutes of swings, it started storming, lightning and thunder. I figured there was no chance.”

“Had (Durham) won a gold medal in 1984, the sky would have been the limit,” said Jim Schmidt, a creative partner in the Downtown Partners advertising agency. “She would have hopped on the gravy train. No exaggeration, she would have made millions. She was a marketing trifecta: African-American, world-class athlete, woman. There would have been a shoe deal, a beverage deal, cereal … She would have been on TV commentating, maybe her own show, maybe even movies. Certainly a book. Someone like her, there would have been no end to it.”
