MLB Daily Notes - June 18th
A daily automated report of what happened yesterday in Major League Baseball, along with other recent trends and further analysis.
One thing I know to be true, but can’t always live up to, is that the best life is one that is lived not for one’s self. Getting married and having kids somewhat forces you into that lifestyle, although it’s certainly still possible to stay very selfish to the detriment of other people that depend on you.
So shout out to the dads out there that are living for their families and not themselves! And if you’re not, get better!
No time for additional writing today, have places to be! Here’s the rundown, free for all dads today. If you’re not a dad, and not a paid sub - honors system - stop reading about halfway down.
