Mike Trout is set to be back in Salt Lake City next week
After getting a 40-game taste of Major League Baseball in 2011 with the Los Angeles Angels, center fielder Mike Trout began the 2012 season with the Triple-A Salt Lake Bees, where he batted a ridiculous .403 with a home run, 13 RBI and six stolen bases in 20 games before he was called back up by the Angels. Trout wound up being named an All-Star and winning AL Rookie of the Year in 2012. Since then, he has won AL MVP three times and been named an All-Star 10 more times, but never has he returned to Salt Lake for an assignment. That is set to change next week, as MLB.com’s Angels beat writer Rhett Bollinger first reported Friday night that Angels manager Ron Washington said Trout would begin a rehab assignment with the Bees. The timeline for that was not immediately clear, but Bollinger reported Saturday that Trout could start the assignment as early as next Monday.
Opinion: A history of assassinations in American politics
Political assassination is a particularly grim, disturbing and important subject. Murder alone is awful, but violence against a political leader tears at the very fabric and foundations of our system of government. Unfortunately, this phenomenon has been a regular — though not frequent — occurrence in U.S. political history. Former President Donald Trump, fortunately, has survived this latest instance of a despicable crime. His actions have been heroic. He demonstrated self-control under fire, reacted fast and effectively in taking cover, did not panic and encouraged others. The United States Secret Service is an exceptionally professional organization, which was dramatically demonstrated. Agents immediately shielded Trump while others scanned the crowd. The former president was quickly evacuated.
The case for ‘low-production’ church
When the speakers are not flashy and the music is confined mostly to hymns accompanied by the piano or organ, you can be confident that the peace and joy swelling within you is not a function of anyone’s talent, but of God taking notice of you in the pews.
