OTM Open Thread 7/10: It is Friday

Happy Friday everyone. Our Fake Sox are back in action tonight looking to make it five wins in a row as they start their final series before the All-Star Break. That one will be posted at 7:05 PM ET. Use this space to discuss whatever you’d like. As always, just be nice to each other.

Today’s reading

Bringing back this feature with a new name. This won’t be every day because I don’t get a chance to read all I should every day. But I did today. You may have seen it, but if you somehow haven’t yet Howard Bryant’s article about Bruce Maxwell and the growing movement among Black players in the game is phenomenal.
