• Classic cars cruise through Orange to thank frontline workers

  22-10-2020 22:56
  
  William Howard Taft was president, the first Indianapolis 500 was run and only 34,000 people lived in Orange County. The year was 1911 and it was the same year Jack Smith’s Model T Ford Town Car was built.
  Smith has spent years rebuilding the classic car and on Thursday it joined about 50 other historical vehicles in a thank-you tour around the city of Orange. Smith said he’s done many car parades, but this was his first showing appreciation for essential workers.

  ARLINGTON, Texas — Mookie Betts finished second to Mike Trout in the voting for the American League MVP Award in 2016.
  There was no shame in that. After all, Mike Trout wins the award every year, or seems to, and has been acclaimed as the greatest player of his generation, one of the best in baseball history.
  Betts had just finished his second full season in the big leagues with the Boston Red Sox. He received nine first-place votes (to Trout’s 19) following a season that saw him mak

• For the Dodgers, Charlie Morton is a familiar, forbidding face in the World Series

  22-10-2020 22:23
  
  The manager, A.J. Hinch, brought the hook. The starter-turned-reliever, Charlie Morton, brought the sinker.
  The line was something that almost never happened at the expense of the 2017 Dodgers:  Four innings, two hits, one runs, seven strikeouts.
  Game 7 of that World Series ended with a first-pitch grounder by Corey Seager, and Morton celebrated with his Houston teammates, although a small part of him probably wanted to keep pitching.
  It should be noted that Morton brought no garage cans or

  Many tight ends are battling for reps at a position UCLA coach Chip Kelly says he will use as aggressively as he has in the past.
  When wide receiver Kyle Philips was asked about the tight ends the Bruins will employ this season, the player that the redshirt sophomore receiver singled out and the compliments he paid were striking.

  That may be true for those with financial resources. But for those of us without great personal wealth – the justice system, through the use of money bail, finds us guilty before we even get our day in court. And we pay for it dearly.
