Who needs the designated hitter? When the San Francisco Giants of the National League play the American League’s Oakland Athletics in Oakland on Thursday evening in an interleague game, the Giants will not use a designated hitter and let pitcher Madison Bumgarner hit for himself. The Giants will reportedly be the first “team in four decades to give up the designated hitter spot.” Bumgarner even lobbied this year to participate in the Home Run Derby and has two home runs this season. He routinely hits tape-measure home runs in batting practice. “Mad Bum” also has two career home runs off the Dodgers Clayton Kershaw, who is arguably the game’s most dominant pitcher. Bumgarner will hit tomorrow.

I was raised by the black women in my family and for me to be connected to some nonsense like a ‘No black girls allowed’ party is embarrassing and an inaccurate portrayal of who and what I represent as man. I wasn’t going to even address any of this because there are literally a million things going on in the world right now that are far more important, rather than people trying to bring question to my character.” “I would like to apologize to anyone if they were offended initially without knowing any of what actually happened, but that story has no truth to it and I wanted to clear the air on all of this B.S. And for those who know me,
