My morsels for today:
MLB: I’ve never seen a slicker fielding third baseman than former Baltimore Orioles star Brooks Robinson. Besides being a human vacuum cleaner at the aptly named hot corner, Robinson’s arm was strong and accurate. Now age 71, Robinson has made the biggest catch of his life. The Hall of Famer announced this week that he has prostate cancer, but it was caught early thanks to his diligence and fought successfully with 39 radiation treatments. That’s great news.
NHL: Detroit Red Wings fans who are fretting about tonight’s Game 7 against the Anaheim Ducks at Joe Louis Arena could get some comfort out of the Red Wings’ last Game 7 appearance. That came in the 2002 Western Conference finals against the hated Colorado Avalanche. The Red Wings won 7-0 in front of a raucous home crowd. Detroit scored on its first two shots against Avs goalie Patrick Roy and it was ahead 4-0 after the first period. Roy was pulled from the game to the derisive cheers of Red Wings fans after giving up six goals on 16 shots. Goalie Dominik Hasek pitched the shutout in the Detroit nets. Feel better now, Hockeytown?
NBA: It was a long, emotional day Wednesday for Dallas Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle. After serving as a pallbearer at former Detroit Pistons coach Chuck Daly’s funeral in Florida, Carlisle flew to Denver to be with his team for its Game 5 showdown against the Nuggets. He arrived at the Pepsi Center an hour before tipoff, and watched the Nuggets beat the Mavericks 124-110 to win the series 4-1.
That’s all for today. See you Thursday.
