Orioles observations on Hudson Haskins’ home run, Kyle Gibson’s strong start and more

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:06:25 GMT

One swing in a Grapefruit League game between two split-squad teams won’t change the organizational perception of a player, but Hudson Haskin took advantage of the opportunity presented to him Monday.Baltimore’s second-round pick in 2020, Haskin was perhaps the most notable exclusion when it came to prospects the Orioles brought to major league spring training as nonroster invitees. An outfielder Baseball America ranks as the organization’s No. 26 prospect, Haskin got his first opportunity to play in a big league exhibition on the home side of Monday’s split-squad contest, homering as a pinch-hitter in his first at-bat.“Anytime you can get out here, big league atmosphere, is something to try not to take for granted,” Haskin said. “I was glad I was able to go out there and do something positive, help the team.”Haskin, 24, had an .821 OPS with 15 home runs last year with Double-A Bowie. The Orioles’ nonroster invitees included an o...

Theater Review: ‘Diesel Heart’ Melvin Carter bio needs less history, more his story

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:06:25 GMT

Melvin Carter Jr. is more than just the St. Paul mayor’s father. This child of the Rondo neighborhood has led a very interesting life, a story of redemption that’s led a St. Paul kid with a propensity for getting into trouble to become a man devoted to getting St. Paul kids out of trouble.Along the way, he was a street fighter, a sailor, a police officer and a linchpin leader in his community. And such an engaging storyteller that his 2019 autobiography from the Minnesota Historical Society Press, “Diesel Heart,” has found an enthusiastic audience.Now Brian Grandison has adapted that book into a play. “Diesel Heart” premiered this past weekend at History Theatre, and it’s a show that works better as history than as theater. While it’s often engaging — especially when one of its 20-some vignettes stretches into something that seems like a turning point — I found myself wishing that it sounded more like Melvin Carter.For he is indeed a man full of charm and charisma who ne...

For the second summer in a row, the Basilica Block Party has been called off

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:06:25 GMT

The Basilica Block Party is on hold once again.The annual outdoor music festival did not take place in 2022 and it won’t happen this summer, either.“We are considering it on hiatus,” said Mae Desaire, director of marketing and communications for the Basilica of St. Mary. “We’re reconsidering for 2024.”When asked for more details, Desaire said, “We’re reconsidering and leaving it at that for now.”Founded in 1995 as a fundraiser to help pay for structural restoration of the Basilica of St. Mary in downtown Minneapolis, the Basilica Block Party was canceled in 2020 due to the pandemic.

Book review: Sex, Secrets and Absent Fathers: It’s the New John Irving, of Course

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:06:25 GMT

An awful lot happens to Adam Brewster, the protagonist of John Irving’s new novel, “The Last Chairlift.” Indeed, it would hardly be an Irving novel if it weren’t stuffed — sometimes overstuffed, like one of those sofas with the springs coming out at odd angles.But the main event is probably when Adam’s athletic, unmarried mother, Rachel “Little Ray” Brewster, straddles him, age 13, in bed, presses his shoulders down to the mattress and gives him the kind of “lawless” kiss she’s just planted on a prospective new boyfriend.In a page or two, Adam — named for the Bible’s first man, narrating in the first person — rapid-shuffles through all the conflicted feelings of an incest victim: curiosity, fright, confusion, indignation, loyalty.Then the thrilling and anxious descent into secrecy. “When you keep secrets from people you love, you don’t sleep as soundly as a child,” says Adam, a novelist, screenwriter and close contemporary of Irving, who himself has told of being sexually abused by ...
