The return of Roe v. Wade: Last night in the Bronx, Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Chaz Roe pitched to New York Yankees second baseman Tyler Wade with one on and two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning. I took this photo of the plate appearance. Wade hit a fly ball to center field that was caught to end the game. Thus, in this rematch, as at the U.S. Supreme Court, Roe prevailed.

The at-bat did not escape the attention of SB Nation. Its Pinstripe Alley game recap from Tyler Norton observed, “And, lastly, after years of waiting, we finally got Roe vs. Wade! Rays closer Chaz Roe finished the game off by forcing Tyler Wade to fly out. Incredible.”

And its DRays Bay game recap from Ashley MacLennan reported, “Chaz Roe came in for the bottom of the ninth to shut things down and give the Rays a win, and with the looming prospect of Roe facing pinch runner Tyler Wade, making it Roe v. Wade, I kid you not Brian Anderson gleefully declared ‘hasn’t that already been decided?’ What a day.”
