Yates-Lyons was among three victims of a shooting at a parking garage on May 24 in Tallahassee, Florida. He was caught in the crossfire and taken to a hospital in critical condition, according to the Tallahassee Democrat. He died Saturday.

He had finished his education at Lowndes County High School in Georgia early and enrolled at Ball State in January. He had returned to attend his graduation ceremony, which took place the day before he was shot, according to the Muncie Star Press.

Cincinnati Reds (2026 Season Thread)

What a fucking throw to gun down Acuna at 2nd! Mercy
That was filthy. Fast and precise location.

And season officially over as Elly pulls up lame at first.
When he didn't make it to first base yet when the camera panned back to Ellly, my gut sank. Hopefully it's a nothing, but that's an easy double if not triple with a healthy Elly. Reached base 3 out of 3 times (and would have scored 3 runs).

Deciding When to Retire

The more interesting question isn't "when" but "where"...

Florida real estate getting more affordable.
Some countries in Europe are ending Golden Visas, but others are still giving incentives.
Asia (vietnam, thailand), South America (Honduras, Costa Rica)...

Urban to rural vs rural to urban - eg rustbelt to NYC or ATL or ABQ vs getting outta the big noisy city out to big sky country.

Others? Digital nomads? Buy a room on a cruise ship? Buy a farm or a fruit orchard?
But can you afford the insurance???

Chaz Coleman (DE Penn St., transfer to Tennessee, dismissed from Tennessee, transfer to...)

What kind of a name is Chaz for a DL. Chaz sounds like a 4-alarm douchebag in college who keeps golf clubs in his trunk and talks about having a Rolex and a black card before he's 30.

Thank you, Miami of Ohio, for taking so many Chaz's (Chazi?) out of our applicant pool.

Just sayin': Just sounds like Sony and Cher's transgender daughter to me...
