The Pecan Park Eagle

American League Batting Average Championship

Contenders Through Sunday, June 3, 2018:

Are you old enough to remember when little daily information on the batting and pitching leadership races were available every morning in most large city sports pages? And you didn’t even have to “log in” or remember your password to make the data available to you. All you had to is find the sports pages section of the paper. The facts that it was summer — and that it was baseball season — would take care of the rest.

In spite of his measly 1 single in 5 trips to the plate, with 3 strike outs, in Sunday’s 9-3 Astros loss to the Red Sox in Houston, Jose Altuve is showing gradient improvement signs on most recent days of coming back to the force he was in 2017. — With 82 hits, so far, he’s already established himself as the total hits leader in the big leagues.

Today’s column is little more than an homage to the old-fashioned easy days of accurate, up-to-date, and easy access to daily change in the standings and batting average races.

If only for a moment, it seems like old times.

Publisher Note. I wrote a column similar to this one a couple of days ago, but I’m almost certain that most of you never received my notice of it. The robotic humanoids that allegedly attempt to control the proliferation of spam on the Internet are becoming harder to please and — just as forever they’ve always been — they unavailable for discussion of the fact that The Pecan Park Eagle is not trying to sell anything, or supply anyone, with anything they don’t want, via a message that comes involuntarily to a mailbox that does not want it, or by some sneaky word-loaded sales pitch.

We only want these column notices going to people who wish to read articles from The Pecan Park Eagle. If that is not you, simply let me know and I personally will remove your name and address from the mailing list immediately.

Thanks,

Bill McCurdy, Publisher
