I know it was an interview with leading Qs, but I hope Matt Holliday soon reminds himself that he's not part of the decision-making process of the Orioles.
I'm not completely at ease with how this NY Times obituary was written, but it has some interesting anecdotes in it and the closing quotation hit home for me, as it reminds me of my own late father's attitude toward life:

He's been a breeze to watch but I think it's way too early to know--not going to form an opinion on a 34-yo fastballer based on two early ST appearances. K/9 rates in Japan and Korea were not nearly as good as he's shown us so far.
Trivial fact: Hit 4 for 21 with 2 doubles and 3 sac bunts for SF in 2016.
Expecially pinchrunning him in extra-innings games so that he starts off at 2nd base with none out. As one option, I hope our batters get to practice bringing him in from 3rd with bunts or infield taps and Jorge learns the dark secret of stealing home.
Yes, rather disappointing as far as expressing love for the sport and the Oriole legacy. But we shall see--one can imagine how frenetic the last few days have been and that it's been all about money and power, not great Oriole moments.
