Congrats to @CC_Sabathia on making the Hall of Fame. Around the time he began his career with the Indians, I started as a stringer with the Vallejo Times-Herald. Ever since, even though we’re a smaller paper, he’s always treated me with respect. Great pitcher, even better person.
Incredible first day in Cooperstown…the love and hospitality from everyone at the @baseballhall is amazing. You know where I’ll be in the morning 🏌🏾♂️⛳️
Here for last game of year at Wilson Park for Vallejo Seaweed. Look for updates and a story later @vjotimesherald

New: Vallejo’s police department says it likes the Flock gunshot detection tech, but didn’t bring evidence to last night’s Surveillance’s Advisory Board meeting. The board says VPD must bring back data supporting that the controversial tech improves city policing. @thevallejosun
Vallejo police started a gunshot detection beta program in September and wants to extend the contract. But the city’s Surveillance Advisory Board wasn't satisfied with the anecdotal evidence VPD brought on the tech's efficacy and wants hard data. vallejosun.com/vallejo-survei…

How dirty does a media hack have to be, to sit on records of dangerous racist cops & the City of Vallejo committing crimes, records hacks had for a wildly long time. I hope they take you down with the ship. Only question now is whose blackmailing who? You know THIS about them,…
