* Text Features The Boston Red Sox Tuesday, March 31, 2020 * The Boston Globe Red Sox pitcher Chris Sale undergoes Tommy John surgery Peter Abraham and Alex Speier The Red Sox decided back on March 19 that ace lefthander Chris Sale would undergo Tommy John surgery on his left elbow. Typically, his torn ligament would have been reconstructed a few days later to start the clock on a rehabilitation process that typically lasts 14-15 months. But with medical resources stretched thin in parts of the country because of the coronavirus pandemic, the surgery did not happen until Monday morning in Los Angeles as the needs of a baseball team became entangled in medical ethics. "Needless to say these are not normal times,” chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom said. "As a society we are facing some difficult challenges. We knew that to schedule this or any surgery would not be routine, that there might be scheduling or logistical difficulties.” Noted orthopedic surgeon James Andrews treated Sale when the pitcher first injured his elbow last season. But Andrews, who is based in Gulf Breeze, Fla., was not available for the surgery. A spokesman said his clinic suspended elective procedures to comply with an executive order from Florida’s governor Ron DeSantis related to the pandemic. That order, issued on March 20, prohibited "any medically unnecessary, non-urgent or non-emergency procedure or surgery which, if delayed, does not place a patient’s immediate health, safety or well-being at risk, or will, if delayed, not contribute to the worsening of a serious or life-threatening medical condition.” There were no such restrictions in California and Dr. Neal ElAttrache performed the surgery at the Kerlan- Jobe Institute in Los Angeles. ElAttrache consulted on the case in March when Sale re-injured his elbow while facing hitters for the first time in 6½ months. "It was important to all of us to do this in a way that would not place any undue burden on anyone suffering because of the coronavirus,” said Bloom, who spoke to ElAttrache to get that assurance. Asked what factors played into that determination, Bloom said the surgery was necessary for Sale to continue in his profession. "We know that this is not life and death and that there are people who are suffering in situations that are life and death,” he said. "We’re aware it’s apples and oranges when you talk about this as opposed to something that’s life-threatening.” Sale, who turned 31 on Monday, could return in June of 2021. In the meantime, he will stay his home in Naples, Fla., and rehab with the help of members of the Sox medical staff who live in the area. The Fenway South complex remains closed in the wake of a minor league player having tested positive for COVID-19. But it could reopen only for injured players as soon as next week. That minor league player, who has not been identified, is doing well and no other players had symptoms that required a test. General manger Brian O’Halloran said fewer than 10 players in the organization remain in the Fort Myers area outside of those who reside there. Sale went 6-11 with a 4.40 ERA last year before getting shut down in August with what the team said was inflammation in his elbow. He received a PRP injection from Andrews and was told to rest. Sale had a normal offseason buildup but suffered a setback when he threw live batting practice in spring training. That changed after he tried throwing again 18 days later and immediately felt discomfort in his elbow that made the need for surgery obvious. The Red Sox signed Sale to a five-year, $145 million contact extension that was set to start this season. But under an agreement reached by Major League Baseball and the Players Association, all salaries will be prorated dependent on how many games are played this season. If the season were canceled, players with guaranteed contracts would receive $150,000. Two other injured players, righthander Collin McHugh (flexor tendon strain) and outfielder Alex Verdugo (stress fracture in is back), are doing well according to Bloom. McHugh has not started throwing, however. This would be a good time to release the findings on the Red Sox and Patriots investigations Dan Shaughnessy Picked-up pieces while playing James Harden defense — 6 feet away from everybody … So many scandals, so little news: ▪ Now is a perfect time for MLB commissioner Rob Manfred to drop the hammer on the 2018 Red Sox. The commish says that the investigation has been completed, and nobody is really paying attention, so let’s get it over with and get on with our lives. The Sox’ transgressions are unlikely to be anywhere near Houston’s trash-can cheating of 2017, but they likely weren’t “nothing” as the Sox have claimed. Best to learn of their punishment now. It will allow them to strike “interim” from manager Ron Roenicke’s nameplate, and we’ll finally learn how long MLB plans to bench Alex Cora. In the week before camps closed, Roenicke said the Sox were looking for some closure on the issue. We have “reserved judgment” long enough. Release the findings. ▪ Similarly, now would be a good time for Roger Goodell to tell the world that even though the Patriots broke videotaping rules in the press box in Cincinnati, Spygate 2 was not a Bill Belichick-driven scheme to gain any competitive advantage. Announce the findings/penalties so the Patriots know whether they’re losing any picks before the April 23-25 draft. ▪ On May 21, a Florida appellate court is scheduled to hear oral arguments in the appeal of an evidence ruling in Bob Kraft’s misdemeanor prostitution case stemming from the incident at the Orchids of Asia Spa in Jupiter. The Fourth District Court of Appeal in West Palm Beach will hear arguments regarding video surveillance footage that was tossed last May. ▪ Terry Bradshaw on Tom Brady in The Athletic: "Why in the world does he want to keep on playing at 43 other than to prove to New England he’s more important than Bill Belichick? . Why the hell do you want to go to Tampa? The only thing I can think of is ego gets involved and you decide, ‘I’ll show ‘em who’s more important.’ ’’ ▪ What about the goofy quote Kraft delivered to the NFL Network? Explaining Brady’s departure from New England, the owner said, "Think about loving your wife and for whatever reason, there’s something — her father or mother — that makes life impossible for you and you have to move on, but you don’t want to.'' Say what? Was Kraft blaming Belichick as the nasty father-in-law? ▪ I could do without Brady and the folks at TB12 promoting a better path to immunity during the coronavirus crisis. Last week, Brady posted an Instagram story in which he featured his branded supplements under a headline of "immune enhancers.'' MassLive’s Nick O’Malley wrote, "It’s one thing for Brady to promote healthy living. It’s another to use the phrase ’immune enhancers’ for his TB12 Wellness Bundle that currently retails for $147 on his website.'' ▪ Quiz: Name four major league pitchers who struck out 20 batters in the first nine innings of a game (answer below). ▪ Loved seeing the Patriots come back from 28-3 again Sunday on Fox. Hated seeing the Bucky Dent game a couple more times on MLB Network. It was amazing to see how many players choked up on the bat in 1978. The Red Sox had an All-MVP starting outfield of Yaz (1967), Fred Lynn (1975), and Jim Rice (1978). Underrated Jerry Remy had two clutch hits off Hall of Famer Rich Gossage in the final two innings of the biggest game of his life. Watching the 1986 World Series was equally painful. MLB Network re-ran some updated interviews, including one in which Sox manager John McNamara was as despicable as ever. Explaining why he left Bill Buckner on the field in the bottom of the 10th of Game 6, Mac claimed Dave Stapleton’s nickname was "Shaky.'’ Hearing tape of Mac’s lame excuse, Bruce Hurst immediately said, "I never heard anybody call him that.'' ▪ Don’t buy into the myth that the Red Sox got shortchanged in the strike-shortened season of 1972. The popular narrative holds that the Sox got jobbed because they played one fewer game than the Tigers. Indeed, the Sox finished second at 85-70 while the Tigers went 86-70 and represented the AL East in the ALCS. All true. But not the whole story. The Red Sox went to Detroit for the final three games of that strike-shortened season and both teams knew that whoever won at least two of three would go to the playoffs. The Tigers eliminated the Red Sox by winning the first two games. This led to a season finale in which the Tigers, having already clinched, rested their regulars. The Sox won the meaningless game, 4-1. It pulled them within a half-game, but there’s no way of knowing who would have won that game if it meant anything. ▪ The Cooperstown-record crowd for a Hall of Fame induction, estimated at 82,000, was set in 2007 when Cal Ripken Jr. was inducted along with Tony Gwynn. Derek Jeter and his fellow honorees might have smashed that this summer, but it now appears unlikely. “We’re still hoping and planning to have our weekend as usual,” said Hall director Tim Mead.

  • Baseball History
    Christian Brothers Baseball History 1930 - 1959 By James McNamara, Class of 1947 Joseph McNamara, Class of 1983 1 Introductory Note This is an attempt to chronicle the rich and colorful history of baseball played at Christian Brothers High School from the years 1930 to 1959. Much of the pertinent information for such an endeavor exists only in yearbooks or in scrapbooks from long ago. Baseball is a spring sport, and often yearbooks were published before the season’s completion. There are even years where yearbooks where not produced at all, as is the case for the years 1930 to 1947. Prep sports enjoyed widespread coverage in the local papers, especially during the hard years of the Great Depression and World War II. With the aid of old microfilm machines at the City Library, it was possible to resurrect some of those memorable games as told in the pages of the Sacramento Bee and Union newspapers. But perhaps the best mode of research, certainly the most enter- taining, is the actual testimony of the ballplayers themselves. Their recall of events from 50 plus years ago, even down to the most minor of details is simply astonishing. Special thanks to Kathleen Davis, Terri Barbeau, Joe Franzoia, Gil Urbano, Vince Pisani, Billy Rico, Joe Sheehan, and Frank McNamara for opening up their scrapbooks and sharing photographs. This document is by no means a complete or finished account. It is indeed a living document that requires additions, subtractions, and corrections to the ongoing narrative. Respectfully submitted, James McNamara, Class of 1947 Joseph McNamara, Class of 1983 2 1930 s the 1920’s came to a close, The Gaels of Christian Brothers High School A had built a fine tradition of baseball excellence unmatched in the Sacra- mento area.

    The Boston Red Sox Wednesday, July 1, 2020 * The Boston Globe College lefties drafted by Red Sox have small sample sizes but big hopes Julian McWilliams There was natural anxiety for players entering this year’s Major League Baseball draft. Their 2020 high school or college seasons had been cut short or canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. They lost that chance at increasing their individual stock, and furthermore, the draft had been reduced to just five rounds. Lefthanders Shane Drohan and Jeremy Wu-Yelland felt some of that anxiety. The two were in their junior years of college. Drohan attended Florida State and Wu-Yelland played at the University of Hawaii. There was a chance both could have gone undrafted and thus would have been tasked with the tough decision of signing a free agent deal capped at $20,000 or returning to school for their senior year. “I didn’t know if I was going to get drafted,” Wu-Yelland said in a phone interview. “My agent was kind of telling me that it might happen, it might not. Just be ready for anything.” Said Drohan, “I knew the scouting report on me was I have the stuff to shoot up on draft boards but I haven’t really put it together yet. I felt like I was doing that this year and then once [the season] got shut down, that definitely played into the stress of it, like, ‘Did I show enough?’ ” As it turned out, both players showed enough. The Red Sox selected Wu-Yelland in the fourth round and Drohan in the fifth.

Thank you. A Summer Wildfire: How the greatest debut in baseball history peaked and dwindled over the course of three months by Colin Thomas Reynolds, M.A. The University of Texas at Austin, 2011 SUPERVISORS: Tracy Dahlby & Bill Minutaglio The narrative itself is an ageless one, a fundamental Shakespearean tragedy in its progression. A young man is deemed invaluable and exalted by the public. The hero is cast into the spotlight and bestowed with insurmountable expectations. But the acclamations and pressures are burdensome and the invented savior fails to fulfill the prospects once imagined by the public. He is cast aside, disregarded as a symbol of failure or one deserving of pity. It’s the quintessential tragedy of a fallen hero. The protagonist of this report is Washington Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg, who enjoyed a phenomenal rookie season before it ended abruptly due to a severe elbow injury.
