***********************************************************

Monday’s Den: Wrapping up a sports Sunday……..

— Comic legend Mel Brooks turned 97 years old last week; what a life he’s having. Not only is he a comic genius, he served in the Army in World War II— he was involved in the Battle of the Bulge— his infantry division was sent to the forward edge of the battle areas, helping to clear German land mines so Allied forces could advance.

From there he became a Hollywood giant, as a writer, producer, actor. One of my favorite TV shows as a kid was Get Smart, about a spy agency. The show’s main character, Maxwell Smart, had a phone in the sole of his shoe— the first cellphone, way back in 1965.

Anyway, happy birthday Mr Brooks. Thanks for all the laughs……..

— July 1 is now known as Bobby Bonilla Day in baseball; the Mets have to pay Bonilla every July 1st; way back in 2000, the Mets agreed to buy out the remaining $5.9M on Bonilla’s contract, but instead of paying Bonilla the $5.9M at the time, the Mets agreed to make annual payments of nearly $1.2M for 25 years starting July 1, 2011, including a negotiated 8% interest.

This genius move will cost the Mets a total of $29,831,205, instead of $5.9M.

So…….every July 1st, the Mets send Bonilla $1,193,248.20, and will until 2035.

There are other players who have contract payments like this one, but the Bonilla contract has become by far the most famous one.

— Atlanta Braves put eight guys on the NL All-Star team; Texas Rangers put six guys on the AL squad.

— In their last five games, Braves outscored their opponents 16-1 in the first inning.

— Manny Machado’s splits this year:
vs lefties: is hitting .356 with a .945 OPS.
vs righties: is hitting .205 with a .612 OPS.

— Zac Gallen’s splits this year:
home: 8-0, 1.50 in nine starts.
road: 2-2, 5.08 in eight starts.

— Former Bears’ QB Jay Cutler threw out the first pitch before the Guardians-Cubs game Sunday night. Cutler was the Bears’ QB for eight years, going 51-51 as their starter— he holds Bears’ records for passing yards, passing TD’s.

Back in 2017, Cutler was supposed to be the new guy in the TV booth for CBS’ NFL games, but the Dolphins came along and offered him $10M to play another year, so he signed on there and Tony Romo got the TV gig.

Too bad; I’m curious how Cutler would’ve been on TV; he was in a reality show with his future ex-wife Kristin Cavallari, which was mostly about her flagship store for her jewelry line. Cutler had a sarcastic side, he might’ve been good.

— San Diego State has apparently decided against bolting the Mountain West Conference; the price tag to leave was just too expensive, even if another league wanted them, which is unclear.

If the Aztecs left the Mountain West before June 30, they would’ve had to cough up $16.5M. If they left after June 30, the price tag jumped to $34M, and that ain’t happening.

— Orioles 2, Twins 1— Baltimore salvages the last game of a 3-game series; they scored a total of three runs in the three games.

— Nationals 5, Phillies 4— Washington won six of its last eight games.

— Brewers 6, Pirates 3— Milwaukee also won six of its last eight games.

— Red Sox 5, Blue Jays 4— Jarren Duran went 5-5 with four doubles for Boston, only the 50th player since 1901 to hit four doubles in a game.

Peyton Manning, talking about new Broncos’ coach Sean Payton
