Mike DiGiovanna and Miguel Bastillo have more on the mysterious death of Chris Brown in the Los Angeles Times.
Brown, 45, died early Tuesday at Memorial Hermann Hospital. Though gravely ill during a 25-day stay in the intensive care unit, Brown communicated to relatives that he had been detained by robbers in Houston, brought to his home in nearby suburban Sugar Land, tied up and abandoned while robbers set his home ablaze.But authorities in Sugar Land said they were investigating the circumstances that resulted in Brown's death as an arson case, not a kidnapping or attempted murder.
They refused to discuss whether Brown was the primary suspect in the arson investigation, but made clear that the version of events they culled together from interviewing neighbors and firefighters at the scene was different from the one Brown shared with family members.
My brief recounting of the 1979 L.A. City High school baseball championship game in which Chris Brown (and a few other famous people) played in.
BTW, while it's not entirely fair to second-guess a HS baseball coach 27 years after the fact, but assuming Strawberry and Brown, at the time, were among the better players (on a team that was highly regarded both then and in retrospect) in the lineup, why sacrifice and double steal, two-on, no-out, slightly behind and late in the game, especially with those two coming up? Or did they think they had to take chances in order to dethrone the defending champs?
I have often found those decisions to bunt entirely baffling.
In one of Strawberry's autobiographies, he claims to have made the last out in 1979, although he did not.
Oh, never mind that was the right answer. But that was really obscure, I had to look it up.
I don't have any of those at home.
