Downtown got an unwanted show this morning as one of our street people decided to take a stroll down Main Street COMPLETELY BUTT ASS NEKKID. He was last seen near Walgreens about 7:55. He was followed by 2 DMC safety patrol officers, who were attempting to limit his movements but not detain him.

Banana Ball was on ESPN yesterday. I asked Google Gemini AI to compare those players’ salaries to those of our Triple-A Redbirds. Gemini said Banana Ball players tend to make more than $100,000 a year (for a much smaller number of games). Minor League Baseball players mostly make $20,000-$42,000 a year, with top prospects capped at $100,000.
KCP is a Grizzly no more. LeBron wanted him in Philly to help chase a championship.

Back soon with more news.
