DeForest Buckner: 2 year $46m extension ties him to Colts thru 2026. ‘I’m a loyal person.’
Unfinished business in Indy.

Ryan Kelly: heading into 9th season with Colts. Heading into final year of contract. ‘I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want another.’

Also in the What if? category. Bobby Thomson hit Shot Heard 'Round the World vs. Ralph Branca as Giants beat Dodgers for '53 NL title. Carl Erskine, not Branca, was supposed to come out of the bullpen. But when call came down, Erskine put a pitch in the dirt. Enter, Branca.

Two things resonate with Carl Erskine from sports perspective. Talked with him when I was in Anderson. Carl had trophies on the wall. One was a bat from '53 WS win over Yanks. Struck out 14. The bat had 14 holes drilled in the barrel with each player's name next to it. Classic.

It should be everyone's life goal to make a difference. Carl Eskine's impact on Indiana Special Olympics for son Jimmy can't be measured.

ESPN Sources: The Milwaukee Bucks are preparing to be without two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo for the start of their opening round series against the Indiana Pacers, but are hopeful treatment on his left calf strain will allow him to return sometime later in the series.

Carl Erskine was a true Indiana treasure. Got to know him during my 10 years at Anderson Bulletin. The man made a difference. RIP 🙏
