Since the seventh century Arab-Islamic conquest of Syria, and later the Ottoman conquest, Christians have been persecuted by Muslims. On July 9, 1860, for instance, a Muslim mob swept through the Christian quarters of Damascus, which was then part of the Ottoman Empire. Violence raged for eight days, leaving approximately 5,000 Christians dead, thousands of shops looted, and churches, houses, and monasteries razed. The sudden and ferocious outbreak shocked the world.

We are saddened by the passing of Phil Garner, whose playing and managing careers spanned five decades in the game. Garner played 16 years as a gritty infielder nicknamed “Scrap Iron.” A 3-time All-Star with the Athletics and Pirates, he went on to spend seven years with the Astros, then finished his playing days with stints with the Dodgers and Giants. In 1979, Garner was a key member of the World Series champion “We Are Family” Pittsburgh Pirates. He batted .417 (5-for-12) in the three-game NLCS sweep, then hit .500 (12-for-24) in the World Series to help Pittsburgh win the title in seven games. Garner would go on to spend parts of 15 seasons as manager of the Brewers, Tigers, and Astros. In 2005, he skippered the Astros to their first ever World Series appearance. He was 76 years old.
