A bald eagle, being used in the opening day ceremony in Minnesota, landed on the shoulder of the Mariner’s starting pitcher, Canadian James Paxton. Paxton stayed calm and was not injured. In retaliation, however, he is shutting out the Twins through three innings.

I’m watching the Twins broadcast, and it looks like they are about to bring on the American curling team that won the gold medal in Korea. It is a great day as two of my favorite sports collide.
