Detroit Tigers pitcher Michael Fulmer, a finalist for the 2016 American League Rookie of the Year award, has a unique off-season occupation - plumbing. He is in backyards in the Oklahoma City area digging ditches and changing sewer lines, replacing old Orangeburg pipes with new PVC pipes. He can also be found in basements exchanging water heaters, in kitchens replacing sinks and faucets, in bathrooms fixing leaky toilets. He says: “it’s fun.” I want this guy on my team. He was 11-7, 3.06 ERA. In 159 innings he allowed only 136 hits and had 132 K's.
For the second straight session the floating book shop had only one customer. My thanks to the 76-year-old goombah who bought pictorials on old Hollywood, Harley Davidsons, and epic events as shot by photographers of Life magazine.
