A boy watched YouTube videos all day on Monday while staying home from school. He watched a lot of absurd videos, but he also watched a lot of baseball highlights, especially Texas Rangers ones. He saw a video that appeared to be showing every run the Rangers had scored during the postseason, and they had scored a good number of them. Josh Jung hit the first run on a sacrifice fly, while Nathaniel Lowe scored the other four runs without a home run. An errant pitch allowed Corey Seager to score the second run. The Rangers played a great game against Baltimore in the division series decider, scoring many runs, including a three-run home run by Adolis Garcia and a two-run double by Mitch Garver. The Rangers were quite successful with two outs, which can be discouraging to their opponents since they controlled their first five games and scored in a variety of ways.

Regarding other news, there is a rumor that the San Francisco Giants are intent on signing Yoshinobu Yamamoto or Shohei Ohtani as free agents. The Giants have a track record of going after well-known players; examples include their prior signing attempts for Aaron Judge and Carlos Correa. Their recent success in luring manager Bob Melvin may entice winning-oriented free agents. In a similar vein, the Texas Rangers are a desirable destination because of their competitive squad and good manager.

The American League Championship Series’ Most Valuable Player, Adolis Garcia, was present at the Dallas Mavericks’ game versus the Houston Rockets. He traded jerseys with NBA MVP contender Luka Doncic prior to the match. Garcia covered his jersey with a black t-shirt to make sure he didn’t make any of the Mavericks players feel uncomfortable. Garcia and Doncic might have had a conversation in Spanish because Doncic is conversant in the language from his work in Spain prior to joining the NBA. Although Garcia, a native of Cuba, speaks English most of the time, he occasionally enlists the help of a translator for larger gatherings to prevent misunderstandings.

In a brighter vein, a video of a dog retrieving a beer for its owner from the refrigerator went viral. The video, which Puppies 🐶 posted on November 24, 2023, demonstrated this remarkable dog ability.
