We are saddened by the passing of 15-year Major League veteran and 6-time All-Star Sam McDowell.
Nicknamed โSudden Samโ, McDowell spent his first 11 seasons with Cleveland from 1961-71. The 6โ5โ lefty led the league in strikeouts five times, including 1965 when he racked up a career-high 325 Ks to go along with a league-leading 2.18 ERA.
In 1970, McDowell won a career-high 20 games and struck out 304 batters in a career-high 305 innings and finished third in Cy Young Award voting.
A Pittsburgh native, McDowell finished his career with the Pirates in 1975 after stints with the Giants and Yankees. His career totals included 141 wins and 2,453 strikeouts.
During his post-playing career, McDowell worked as a Mental Health and Addiction Recovery Consultant and served on the Board of Directors for the Baseball Assistance Team (B.A.T).
He was 84 years old.

This is CNN.
@edsheeran rather than whine about if future performers need to be be pre-approved, just keep your views to yourself. Some sage advice from Laura Ingram when the Dixie Chick's imploded "Just shut up & sing!". Or Michael Jordan, "Republicans buy sneakers too".
@vrbo@Expedia A budget hotel room where guests must buy basic cookware at the lobby shop does NOT meet vacation rental standards. While Expedia Group Resolutions eventually stepped in to resolve the claim, travelers need to know that "vacation rentals" on Vrbo aren't always what they seem.
@Vrbo @VrboSupport @Expedia travelers: double-check your bookings carefully! Vrbo is increasingly syndicating commercial extended-stay hotel rooms onto their platform and passing them off as traditional "vacation rentals."
@vrbo@Expedia Booked a "Central Dickinson Retreat & Downtown" with a full kitchen on Vrbo. Arrived to find an extended-stay hotel (My Place) on an I-94 frontage road. The "full kitchen" contained zero plates or utensilsโunless you bought them from the front desk store.
zero dishes/utensils in the kitchen. Support is claiming Vrbo bears no responsibility because it's a 'third-party booking.' As a frequent user with 58 days of upcoming Vrbo travel, I need an executive agent to override the host and credit my unused final night."
