Ondřej Vostatek, just 18-years-old, comes on to pitch for the Czech Republic. One way to tell his age: He's still using an infielder's glove out on the mound.

I was walking through the West Village tonight and — having no idea it was here — came across the Great Hank Greenburg’s first home. He was my grandmother’s favorite player and she got a signed post card from him. What a find!
