And, of course, members of Congress from New Jersey are the other ones with moneyed constituents most threatened by a new type of legal, mostly unregulated, commercial, institutional gambling.
deGrom comes from deLand and went to college at Stetson... in deLand. Ties Daniel Murphy (Jacksonville-born and Jacksonville State-educated) with being the Floridian Mets who traveled the least ways to get to college. True story: Stetson was founded by a rich-assed New Yorker Henry DeLand as "DeLand Academy" in 1883 but was changed to Stetson University by 1889 when DeLand's fortunes started failing and the hat guy took over as the main benefactor. The team's actual name: The Stetson Hatters.

Just stumbled across this. Apart from the Bizarro World reality of Chipper Jones defending the Mets and Edgardo Alfonzo seemingly trolling him for his trouble, how weird is it that after a career as elite baseball players, these dudes end up seemingly wanting to spend their time doing what the rest of us mortals do: being dicks on the internet?
WtF is a "boistrous hint"? Yes, the article grossly overstates the backlash against Murphy. There was briefly a fake scandal around it, but it was about seventh biggest among the many fake scandals in Metsville between the end of the 2014 season and the start of the 2015 season. Most are now forgotten, but several were cause for calls-to-arms for somebody or other at the time. Fake culture war outrage always has more legs than most other forgotten stupid stories of the day.
I've had my job seriously downgraded. Did I sulk and bitch? No, I did not! I've been absolutely ready to play when the team calls on me. I've also demonstrated that there is still utility in players who are playing hurt. How about some 3-7 with two doubles and and a walk? That's one tasty small sample size! I'm the kind of guy you want on your roster.
Alongside Matty's Daddies. And every time Harvey got too big for his britches they'd put out press statements about how he just needs a good swift kick in the pants.
