"The "Philadelphia Inquirer" found dangerous chemicals in the astroturf of the now-demolished Veterans Stadium.
Six Phillies who played on that turf, Tug McGraw, Darren Daulton, John Vukovich, John Oates, Ken Brett, and David West have died of a rare and aggressive brain cancer. The six players all died in their 40's or 50's, roughly three times the rate of the average adult population.
Even more alarming was their mutual diagnosis of glioblastoma.
The Phillies sold pieces of turf in sealed 4 x 4" bags.
The Inquirer purchased four of those on eBay.
Samples analyzed by two separate labs found 16 types of dangerous chemicals in the turf.
They are referred to as “forever chemicals” because they don’t break down and can last in the human body for years.
The US federal government estimates that 12,000 artificial turf fields containing PFAS or “forever chemicals” exist in USA.
Darren 'Dutch' Daulton.
And still no updates on this story!!!

Trump correctly pointed out that our nation was its richest in the 1880s and 1890s, but he is incorrect to attribute that wealth to tariffs. The reason we were so rich back then is that government was so tiny that we could afford to pay for it with tariffs. Back then, total federal spending was only about 2% of GDP. Today it’s over 23%.
I'm with the president: let's eliminate 90% of the Federal Government, so we could pay for what's left with tariffs. Let's also eliminate the the Federal Reserve and go back to a gold standard, just like the 1890s. Let's get rid of income and Social Security taxes. Let's eliminate all the government departments created since 1890, like Commerce, Labor, Health, Education, Housing, Transportation, Energy, and Education.
Let's get rid of the government agencies that didn't exist back then, like the SEC, FDIC, NCUA, CFTC, CFPB, FCC, EPA, OSHA, PBGC, FBI, CIA, TSA, and FEMA. If we repeal Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, ACA, Unemployment Insurance, SNAP, Welfare, Student loans, FHA/VA loans, SBA programs, and farm supports, to name a few.
We should also repeal almost every federal law that has been passed since 1900. If we do all of that, then we can have tariffs and be rich again like we were in the 1880s and 1890s.

I’ve Been trying to get a job in baseball for 6 years, happy for him!
Alex Freedman@azfreedman
Didn't take him long to start the next stage of his career, as he'll be joining the @okc_comets as outfield coach/assistant hitting coach this season. DD was a key veteran piece to OKC's 2023 PCL championship. Looking forward to having him back.

Imagine the embarrassment if the Chicago White Sox had to start playing minor league games after their 100 loss season and Charlotte was given the rights to play in the MLB with people in AAA the year before. May incentivize them to actually try

@ScottVanSlick This only works in soccer leagues because the lower division teams are generally unaffiliated with the upper division teams. With a U.S.-type structure, you would have Miami's and the Yankees' AAA teams coming up to replace Colorado and the ChiSox, which destroys farm systems.
