For nearly as long as I can remember, whenever anyone asked me who was my favorite baseball player, I said Jorge Posada. He was the player I wanted to emulate from the time I was little. Like Jorge, I didn’t wear batting gloves. Like Jorge, I slightly hunched over in my batting stance (until I realized it was easier to hit standing more upright). Like Jorge, I was a switch-hitting catcher. Then, sometime in middle school, circa 2008, I heard about this local kid named Joe Panik.

  A year ago, Will Vest was at the back of the Mariners' bullpen, a Rule 5 Draft pick trying to earn his keep on a young team. He was holding down a middle-relief role until a rough June led Seattle to return him to the Tigers. He struggled to readjust at Triple-A Toledo. “Especially when you get used to being in the big leagues, you’re going to be upset when you lose your job,” Vest said last month. “But if you sit there and dwell on it, you’re not going to get back up quickly. I went through that a little bit last year, and I think the biggest thing for me was I needed a break mentally, just to hit the reset button and get back to who I was as a pitcher.” Two months ago, he was at the far end of the Tigers’ Spring Training clubhouse, tr...

It had been a beautiful weekend. Temperatures in the mid 70s for the third weekend in May had a way of putting smiles on faces. The smell of dust, liquor and sweaty horses filled the air that hung upon the eastern Montana fairgrounds. The 2021 World Famous Miles City Bucking Horse sale shattered the previous ticket sales record. After a cancellation in 2020 due to COVID-19, spirits were high at the “Cowboy Mardi Gras.” Old friends were reunited, and stories were told as attendees seemed eager to push past the doom and gloom of 2020. As the final checks were handed out and the last horses loaded onto the trailers, Bill Harding jokingly told his longtime friend Lavetta Weeding, “I think it’s time that we both retire, we’re getting too old for this.” Only God would know that when they left...
