The Mets signed skinny lefty Mike O’Connor to a Minor League deal. I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for him since he tossed a great start against the Mets in his second career outing in 2006. Probably an organizational depth signing, though.
One of the world’s leading crocodile and alligator experts died, but not in the way you’d guess. Sad.
The Big East Tournament has been predictably nuts, and Brendon Desrochers is holding it down.
Alex Nelson remembers Pete Schourek. I remember that Pete Schourek spoke at my Little League dinner and totally threw David Cone under the bus. I think he might have even called him a pervert. It was weird, and my memory is hazy because I was 12 or something, but I’ll consult my dad.

The quality of players at Little League diners was always solid. I had thepleasure of seeing/meeting Jeff Musslemen, and Rick Cerrone at little league diners as well as Jeff Torborg.
Rick Cerone was definitely a regular on the Tri-State Area Little League Dinner circuit in the early 90s.
Holy crap I think he was at one of my banquets as well – I might even have an autographed copy of the program from the dinner. I will have to search through some crap in the basement or refer to my old man as well.
