— Baseball Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn would’ve turned 65 Friday; not only was Gwynn one of the best hitters ever, he is San Diego State’s all-time leader in assists, on the basketball court.
— Underrated baseball record: Ted Williams holds the major league record, reaching base in 84 consecutive games; Phillies’ DH Kyle Schwarber has a 44-game on-base streak going right now.
— UMass is moving its sports teams from the Atlantic 10 to the Mid-American Conference, mostly to help its struggling football program.
— Giants’ rookie Abdul Carter wanted to wear #56, but that was Lawrence Taylor’s number and it is retired; Taylor declined to un-retire it. Carter wore #11 at Penn State, but the Giants retired #11 for Phil Simms, who was OK with Carter wearing #11, but Simms’ family objected so that wasn’t an option.
Carter is going to wear #51 this season.
— If the playoffs started today (they don’t):

AL: New York, Tigers, Mariners. Wild Cards: Guardians, Astros, Royals
