Free Range by Bill Whitehead for April 13, 2021

Keep your “mitts” off controversial issues.

“Sorry, it’s not because of that, it’s that I have halitosis”.

It’s because you’re within 6ft and not wearing a mask…

I found it funny that when masked, coaches would hold up boards to hide their faces.

Don’t forget, Thursday is Jackie Robinson Day.

Force of habit. I heard the Astros have installed super sensitive directional microphones around the field.

Seriously….you all speak in cliches any way. What’s the point of even having post game interviews?

Can’t be very secret if the interviewer is being broadcast on TV/Radio.

I’m trying to discreetly tell you: XYZ!

He’s having trouble fielding the questions.

He’ll just have to take a swing at any questions that pop-up, even those out of left field. If the interview goes into extra innings he might have to make a short stop at the bathroom. Of course I’ve heard he’s a major league gossip.

Can’t be too safe when playing the Astros.

I’ve always thought that looked ridiculous — how many lip readers do the teams employ

“OK, this guy has really bad breath!”

I miss Earl Weaver. The only things he hid, just barely, were the many cigarettes he smoked on the field.
