Roger Davis’ celebration of life is being held on Sunday at First Apostolic Church in Knoxville at 6:30pm. They are receiving friends from 5 to 6:30pm. Roger was a kind and gentle soul and loved the Vols and Christ like few others. CTV and Blade Tidwell attended a bday party for Roger a couple of years ago.

Prayers for his family and friends 🙏

I never knew him or heard him. Honestly didn’t know he existed until yesterday but from everything people have said, he was a pure soul. I’m sure it will be a wonderful service. He is living in paradise now.

On March 3 in Baseball History...​
  • 1953 - The Boston Braves, owners of the Milwaukee minor league franchise, block the Browns' attempt to shift their franchise to Milwaukee. Lou Perini, Braves owner, invokes his territorial privilege, stating he has not been offered enough for the rights.

  • 1956 - In an effort to keep the Giants in New York, Manhattan Borough President Hulan Jack makes plans for a new 110,000-seat stadium over the New York Central railroad tracks, on a 470,000-foot site stretching from 60th to 72nd streets on Manhattan's West Side. The estimated cost of $75M for the stadium eventually dooms the project and will be a major factor in Horace Stoneham's decision to move to San Francisco.

  • 1967 - The White Sox are given permission to use a semi-designated hitter in training camp. With home club permission, clubs will be allowed to use a designated pinch hitter twice in the same game.

  • 1984 - Peter Ueberroth, the highly successful chairman of the Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee for the upcoming Summer Games, is elected to a five-year term as Commissioner of Baseball. Ueberroth will take office on October 1, succeeding Bowie Kuhn.

  • 1987 - Ray Dandridge, a legendary third baseman from the Negro Leagues, is the only player elected to the Hall of Fame by the Special Veterans Committee.

  • 1998 - Larry Doby, the A.L.'s first black player, is elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame along with former A.L. President Lee MacPhail. Also chosen by the Veterans Committee are Negro League pitcher Bullet Joe Rogan and turn-of-the-century shortstop Gorgeous George Davis.

Texas Roadhouse

I don't work today so I can enjoy Friday night by watching NBA games and College Basketball games at Old Chicago.

Also, I see I could listen to the College Baseball Nebraska vs Vanderbilt game which begins at 11 am central time according to the Sports Newspaper that I get from the Omaha World Herald.
Vanderbilt is a great team while Nebraska is not so my realistic expectation is Vanderbilt without struggle defeats an outmatched Nebraska team. Even though this is in Minnesota not Nashville I don't think that will matter because Vanderbilt is a great team that has a realistic chance of making it to a Super Regional, also the 2023 College World Series.

Today the Washington Huskies make their debut at Husky Ballpark vs the Northern Colorado Bears.
The Huskies played 7 straight road games before 4 games at home vs the Northern Colorado Bears.

They are 5-2 so that's an impressive start before playing 4 games at home.
Even if the Huskies don't sweep the series vs the Bears most likely I expect they'll win 3 of 4 games.

The Volunteers in Rocky Top are facing the terrible according to record 1-7 Gonzaga Bulldogs so I expect the Volunteers to sweep the Bulldogs.
