Honestly, I assume that all MLB players, staff, owners, and retirees are Trump supporters unless I hear otherwise.

That's really the only thing about him that interests me.



I hope it's mentioned on his plaque.

Rivera's Hall plaque is a little odd. I don't know the process of writing and signing off on the wording on the plaques, but I'm always bewildered at what nicknames the writer thinks needs to be spelled out. For example, Piazza's plaque reads: Michael Joseph Piazza "Mike". We needed to be told that a guy named Michael went by Mike? But Seaver's doesn't say George Thomas Seaver "Tom", or even "The Franchise" or "Tom Terrific."



I bring this up because Rivera's plaque lists two nicknames: "Mo" and "The Sandman." Now, I know Rivera's entrance song was "Enter Sandman," but did you ever hear anyone call him that?

I just assume most athletes support the party of tax cuts for the Ulta rich

Same boat for me. And that goes as well for pro golfers.

Re: Mariano Rivera, Trump Supporter

Well, yeah, that's hardly a stretch, especially since the president owns Doral and other beloved courses.
