USA BASEBALL FINALIZES 2021 PROFESSIONAL NATIONAL TEAM STAFF 04/22/21
USA Baseball Professional National Team Manager Mike Scioscia finalized the coaching staff for the 2021 World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) Baseball Americas Qualification Event for the Games of the XXXII Olympiad Tokyo 2020, the organization announced today. Coaching alongside Scioscia will be Jerry Weinstein (Bench Coach), Dave Wallace (Pitching Coach), Ernie Young (Hitting Coach/First Base), Darren Fenster (Third Base), and Roly de Armas (Bullpen).
Combined, the 2021 staff brings 19 years of playing and coaching experience with Team USA to this year’s Professional National Team, having won five gold medals and five silver medals in their time representing the U.S. Additionally, Young was a member of the gold medal-winning team at the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games.
Gov. Ned Lamont announced Monday the state will lift all pandemic-related restrictions on May 19, allowing restaurants, theaters and other businesses to open at full capacity.
The state will begin to relax rules May 1, Lamont said during a Monday afternoon press conference. On May 1 restaurant curfews will be rolled back one hour to 12 a.m., bars will be allowed to serve alcohol without food and the state will drop restrictions on the number of people who can sit at a table.
On May 19, Lamont said, all restrictions will end, but the state will continue to recommend wearing masks indoors for people who haven t been vaccinated.
The governor wants you continuing wearing a mask, but the bars, theaters and ballparks soon will be open without other restrictions.
Connecticut will end its COVID-19 restrictions in two steps next month, beginning May 1 for outdoor activities and May 19 for everything else. The remaining mandate will be a requirement for wearing masks in public indoor places.
Gov. Ned Lamont announced Monday moves that essentially will conclude the extraordinary state of emergency that began 14 months ago but do not mark end of a pandemic that claimed 19 lives since Friday and pushed the state’s death toll past 8,000.
The announcement at the first of his twice-a-week televised COVID briefings was anticlimactic, described by Lamont as another of the steps the governor has taken towards reopening civic, social and commercial life in Connecticut.

Gov. Ned Lamont announced Monday that he will lift most outdoor-related COVID-19 restrictions effective May 1, including the use of masks, and all remaining business restrictions on May 19, all but returning the state to pre-pandemic level activity.
The decision gets rid of all restrictions the governor put in place last spring, except for the requirement that masks be worn indoors, a day before Lamont’s extraordinary executive powers are set to expire.
