Cape Cod is awash with wild turkeys these days. They take over roadways, crowd paths, and even occasionally try to get into a store in downtown Falmouth.
But there were roughly zero turkeys on Cape Cod between 1851 – when turkeys were eradicated everywhere in Massachusetts – and 1989, when 18 of the big-winged, wobbly, slow-of-flight birds were released at Camp Edwards on the Upper Cape, according to a story in The Cape Cod Times.
The National Baseball Hall of Fame Class of 2022 ballot came out earlier this week, and one member of the Baseball Writers Association of America immediately announced that he will not vote for former Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling.
Jose de Jesus Ortiz, a former St. Louis Post-Dispatch sports columnist who serves as the president of the Baseball Writers Association of America, voted for Schilling last year. Now, however, the liberal sports columnist announced that he won't vote for the outspoken conservative this year.
