Hope all is well.

Just a quick note.

You may have noticed that I’ve tweaked the newsletter a bit.

I’m shifting the focus to Whatever Happened To…?

Each week, we’ll find a retired Major Leaguer and answer that question.

As a lifelong baseball fan, I’ve always been intrigued by what happens to a player after the final out.

The cheering ends. The career is over.

They return home to figure out what comes next.

The second act.

They’ve played in packed stadiums and competed against the best ballplayers in the world.

Now what?

This week, we put the spotlight on Dock Ellis—his complicated past and how he found redemption.

I worked for NBC News for more than 30 years and was privileged to tell stories that mattered.

I get it.

We all have busy lives. I’ll bring you a story you can read in five minutes each week.

And if there’s a player you’d like me to feature, I’m all ears.

Thanks for reading.
