Joseph's start makes him second Franklin-born player to play in majors: It took almost 69 years for a baseball player born in Franklin to have another chance to record a hit in a major league game. Franklin’s Corban Joseph accomplished that feat in Cleveland on May 13 going 1-for-6 in a doubleheader while wearing a New York Yankees uniform.

COMMENTARY BY WILLIAM CARTER: Springtime in Middle Tennessee: A bumble bee zips by followed by another and they bounce and roll around on thin air a foot or two above the hanging basket brimming at the edges with petunias and vinca and something yellow I don’t know the name of and bought and planted only because it caught my eye and then the bumble bees dart away over the hedge of quince and spirea and scraggly azaleas and Knock-Out roses going to wherever it is that bumble bees go and I wonder where that is because that’s what I do, mostly, when I sit outside after I’ve done all the things I’m supposed to do … I wonder.
