Since my Cleveland Indians are playing the Chicago White Sox this week, I have found out that the White Sox right now have pitchers on their roster with last names Hamilton and Burr. I wonder how they get along.
Burr's first name is Ryan, not Aaron. That's a bummer. Actually, the White Sox have another pitcher named Aaron Bummer.

Today the Cleveland Indians, Cleveland Browns, Cincinnati Reds, and Cincinnati Bengals were all in action, and all four teams won.
That probably hasn't happened very often.
If each one had a 50/50 chance of winning, the probability of all four winning would only be about 1/16, less than 7 per cent.
If all four teams had, say, a 60 per cent chance of winning, then the probability of al four winning would be more like .1296, about 13 per cent.
So I wonder how many September Sundays there have been since 1968, when the Bengals came into existence, when all four won on the same day.
This year it looks like both the Indians and Reds could be in the playoffs. That happened previously in 1995.

The major league baseball season is just past its midpoint. With both the Cleveland Indians and Cincinnati Reds in playoff contention, this continues to be a fun year for baseball fans in Ohio.
For several years now the American League seems to have been a bit stronger overall than the National League, as evidenced by the results of interleague play. But the gap between the two may be closing. This year the AL had a record of 131-121 in interleague games, a winning percentage of .51984 (not too far over .500). Cleveland was 11-7, Cincinnati 6-12, with Cleveland winning 5 of 6 games between the two Ohio teams.
