Our thoughts are with the loved ones of former Stars player Yassine Joseph, who is presumed to have passed away late Sunday when his plane went down over Trat’eo Gulf.
Week 2 began with the White Sox and Bears leading their divisions. Are teams like the Chargers, Trail Blazers, and Owls for real? Will they hang around in the standings after strong starts in week 1?
UA News:
- Well-wishers gather at Stars Ballpark of Darling to remember the life of former Delle Stars player Yassine Joseph. The league will hold a moment of silence before each game today. The Stars will wear a black armband to honor their former teammate. (6/13)
- Stags 1B Kevin Smith is suspended for 3 games; Chargers RHP Joseph Carr is suspended for 6, for a scrap that initiated a bench-clearing fight between the two teams in yesterday’s 5-0 Stags win. (6/14)
