Hanks is from the San Francisco Bay area Early in his career, I remember Hanks going on Letterman, et al, and talking about his experiences in Cleveland (and gently jibing the local ballclub). The actor has a special relationship with the city as he's credited time spent there with changing his life. In the late '70s, Hanks worked the Great Lakes Shakespeare Festival for a few years. It's where he earned his Actors Equity Card. "I had never been out of California before getting the job in Cleveland," Hanks wrote in a 2019 essay for AARP. It's where he met lifelong friends, George Maguire and Michael John McGann. "They were... the kind of actor I wanted to be — and the kind of human being I hoped to become," he said. When the season was over, Maguire and McGann convinced Hanks to pursue his acting dream in New York, despite "the comfort of the West Coast" calling the eventual Oscar-winner back home. "You would not be reading these words otherwise," Hanks explained. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/tom-hanks-california-cleveland-indians-guardians-video-182226808.htmlhttps://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/tom-hanks-california-cleveland-indians-guardians-video-182226808.html

Ran like the wind, then into the fence.

Gregarious sort. https://www.mlb.com/news/tommy-hunter-celebrates-first-career-hitHe cherished his base hit.

Released three months after his lone NYM appearance, in which he faced four batters, retired none and posted an ERA that literally defied measurement.

My friend who is a lifelong fan of the Cleveland Baseball Team wonders if perhaps they meant Gardeners.

A blast from the ex-Met past at that.

Sing it to the world.

The Dodgers have poached Billy McKinney. There go a bunch of clutch hits and catches, albeit wrapped in a low average.

Douchebags golf. One of them has a phone.

Surprisingly, there's already an http://www.faithandfearinflushing.com/2021/07/21/roster-churn-a-fabricated-oral-history/oral history published about last night's game. When Stock was handed the ball in the bottom of the first at Great American Ball Park, he had been staked to a 1-0 lead, thanks to a solo home run off the bat of a resurgent Pete Alonso, still sizzling from his win in the previous week's Home Run Derby. ALONSO: Man, that was so sexy winning the Derby, then hitting some bombs in Cincy. But the main thing is I just wanted to get runs on the board for…oh, help me out here. I'm sorry, but I have a hard time keeping track. Eickhoff was the night before, right? Did we still have Yamamoto had that point? JORDAN YAMAMOTO, starting pitcher: He said that? Damn, I hadn't pitched for the Mets since like May. Geez, Pete, get a clue. ALONSO: No, I wanna get this on my own. Szapucki? Oswalt? OK, I give…Stock? That was my next guess, seriously. Raymond Stock is a totally good dude. What's that? Robert? That's what I meant. Robert Stock. Totally good dude. STOCK: Cincinnati's a tough ballpark to hold a lead in. To be fair, every ballpark seems like a tough ballpark to hold a lead in to me. Have I even pitched with a lead? To be honest, I'm just repeating what I've heard some of the other guys say.

Eickhoff DFA'd for Stock.

Buy low, sell high: Stock starts tonight.

Your second 15-11 Mets win in franchise history. Two days after the last one, they swapped Dykstra and McDowell for Samuel.

We're off the clock.
