If Chris Sale throws another complete-game shutout 10 years from today, he’d still be younger than Jamie Moyer was when Moyer threw his final shutout on May 7, 2010.
Moyer was 47 years, 182 days old.
Sale is 37 years, 150 days old.

Trump is going to hate this.
Four conservative justices on the Supreme Court believe Folarin Balogun shouldn't be a U.S. citizen. Something to consider as he carries the U.S. team on his back in the World Cup.
The vote that would create the United States was deadlocked, and the man who could break the tie was eighty miles away, dying of cancer, on the wrong side of a thunderstorm.
His name was Caesar Rodney. On the first of July 1776, while Congress argued itself toward independence in Philadelphia, he was stuck back in Delaware. He was tamping down Loyalist trouble, in constant pain from the cancer eating at his face and fighting for breath due to his asthma.
Then the letter came. Delaware's two delegates in Congress were split. One for independence, one against. Without a tiebreaker, the colonies would not stand united. And a divided front was exactly what the Crown was counting on.
He did not hesitate. He climbed onto his horse near midnight and rode straight into the storm. Lightning split the sky. The roads turned to sludge. A journey that normally took two days but he made it in eighteen hours. He stopped only to change horses, soaked with every mile.
He reached Independence Hall on the morning of July 2 just as the vote was called, still in his boots and spurs. Caked in mud. Thomas McKean never forgot the sight of him standing in the doorway.
Rodney walked in and cast his vote for independence. It broke Delaware's tie, and with that, not a single colony stood against the break from Britain.
On this day, 250 years ago, a dying man rode all night through a storm so America could be born.

"Trying to hide who you are doesn’t hurt anyone but yourself. So when you find places and spaces where you know you feel safe, don’t be afraid to let every piece of who you are shine as bright as you want. Because every single facet of who you are is beautiful and deserving of everything that you want in life and there will be people in this world and places that will take you in and love you just as you are."
