This was actually Don Rainsmith who fell from a helicopter performing a stunt for the Savanah Bananas (like globetrotters). His death sparked the unionization so actually it's pretty fitting.

The St Paul Saints were an independent minor league team for most of their existence, until COVID came along. Honestly, the baseball was usually pretty lousy overall, but the games were always a ton of fun. Now they’re the AAA affiliate for the Twins, and the atmosphere has stayed pretty similar, with better baseball being played as well, for the most part. Granted, the were just sold to a new ownership group, so who knows what we see in the future.
Edit - Just to add, the pay for the independent teams was comically bad, even compared to minor league salaries, IIRC. I tried out once when I was younger and in much better shape. I did not make the team, they still had some standards, even back then.

Target practice is not grounds for an urgent request to bring someone a firearm in the wee hours of the morning. Again, from a legal standpoint, sure he had plausible deniability. But if he thought that they were asking for the gun just for funsies, that’s just willful ignorance

Huh? I’m not spoon feeding you anything; I’m just having a conversation with you, and by extension, sharing information and experiences to anyone else who may read the thread and find the information informative or interesting. I’m not sure what I’ve said that has upset you here. The purpose of Reddit is to have discussions like this.

>Their primary intended purpose? If someone asks me to bring them something of theirs, it’s a fair assumption that they’re planning or considering using that thing.
Agreed, target practice.
>And since he didn’t ask the kid to bring his gun to him at a gun range

Didn’t mention Satchel Paige. I didn’t see in that article any of the players I mentioned. But you might be referring to that time Mickey Mantle wore oversized pants and caught bananas thrown at him from the grandstands.

Says common sense. They weren’t out in the middle of nowhere, they were in downtown Tuscaloosa. Other than a firing range there is no place in the city where the gun can be lawfully discharged.
