just saw Christian Cairo go deep for the Phillies at BayCare Ballpark in Clearwater, just a few miles from where my sons played Little League with him in Safety Harbor back in the late 00s

he's of course the son of former Devil Ray (& Yankee among others) Miguel Cairo, two-time interim MLB manager

how did we end up with 8-9 minutes (and counting) of stoppage time when the only thing that prolonged it was the penalty (and it wasn't even VAR-reviewed)?

I mean in this case, Golden probably could beat both of them in a sprint at the same age so it's likely true. But just say "he won 100 in the fewest number of games". Or even "he won 100 games faster than any coach in Gator history".
