Seeing and listening to reaction to Mike DiMauro’s column about the murder of Ronde Ford and listening to people talk about why the murder happened brought us back to the murders of Matt Chew and Travon Brown. It also reminded us of Yogi Berra’s famous saying, “It’s déjà vu, all over again.”
There were and are immediate responses. “We must do something!” And, in each case before Ronde Ford’s murder, there were meetings, much anguish and anger, and good intentions.
Yet we as a community did not sustain the initial efforts to “do something.” The exception was the New London Youth Talent Show started in the aftermath of the Matt Chew murder and led by Curtis Goodwin, Frank Colmenares, Susan Connolly, the Sigels, among others. And the Talent Show continues.

Batters who made team s only 3 hits vs. Cubs By JohnW53 on Feb 20, 2021, 5:38am CST +
On Opening Day of last season, Kyle Hendricks shut out the Brewers on 3 hits all by Orlando Arcia.
Right after the game, I used the search tools at Baseball-Reference.com to generate a list of all 3-hit, complete-game shutouts by Cubs pitchers since 1901.
There were 152, of which 62 took place in the first 20 years and 90 in the next 100. Hendricks was only the fifth of the 2000s.
I checked the box scores of all 152, either online or in contemporary newspapers, in search of other games in which the same player made all 3 hits.
