On MLB The Show podcast with Titus:
#1 Just recently auctioned baseball memorabilia a Mickey Mantle 1958 home game worn jersey sold for $4.68 million which went for double the previous Mantle jersey. A Mantle 1952 Topps rookie baseball card sold for $4.5 million. The total take for both sales $9.2 million.
#2 Toronto Blue Jays star Vladimir Guerrero is badly missed by the Jays with a finger injury. Guerrero left Sunday’s after middle finger soreness against the Cincinnati Reds. Guerrero had trouble swinging the bat and was losing his grip and had to sit in the fourth inning. Guerrero is day to day.
#3 Los Angeles Angels two way star Shohei Ohtani who hit a grand slam and the Angels had a triple play still lost the game 9-6 last Saturday. The Angels got clobbered on Saturday in the second game of a double header 18-4. The Angels have lost six of their last ten games. This situation isn’t improving as the Angels have lost six of their last ten and their post season hopes dim. Ohtani will go shopping in the off season most likely.
#4 The Oakland A’s have selected their construction company who will build their new ballpark in Las Vegas Mortensen-McCarthy. Mortensen-McCarthy is the same construction company that built Allegiant Stadium. The A’s plan to build the 30,000 park on nine acres with a retractable roof at the Tropicana hotel at a cost of $1.5 billion.
#5 Triple cancelation due to Hurricane Hilary games in Anaheim, Los Angeles, and San Diego were moved to doubleheaders on Saturday and all games in the Southland were canceled due to the tropical storm and flash flooding. The Angels were rained out once again on Monday night and return to action on Tuesday night against the Cincinnati Reds at the Big A.
