O'Doherty's Irish Grille to celebrate 75th anniversary of Eddie Gaedel, MLB's shortest player (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When 3-foot-7 Eddie Gaedel stepped up to bat for the St. Louis Browns on Aug. 19, 1951, a “magic moment” in baseball occurred, according to Spokane’s Tom Keefe. After four consecutive balls – the strike zone is significantly smaller and harder to hit for a short batter – Gaedel, 26, became the shortest person in history to play in a Major League Baseball game with a single plate appearance. Seventy-five years to the day, that unforgettable ball game magic will continue at O’Doherty’s Irish Grill

With her home on Winston Drive still standing, Bridget Perez thought she had managed to come out of the Spokane Complex fires relatively unscathed. Then the window seal in her 1-year-old son’s nursery tested positive for lead. So did her front door. And her brother’s house. And her mom’s house. “Driving around the Indian Trail Elementary park, there’s all these signs that say, ‘Be safe,’ and they’re giving guidelines, but nothing talking about lead or heavy metals,” Perez said. “So it almost is
What's the deal with e-bikes and e-motos in Spokane? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Despite representing dozens of injury cases involving e-vehicles such as bikes, scooters and motorcycles, lawyer Matthew Albrecht is an avid e-bike rider. With the slight motor assistance, Albrecht said he can keep up with his younger kids on mountain biking trails without becoming exhausted after just one lap. “I can just have a little more fun for a little bit longer,” Albrecht said. While he acknowledges varying opinions about the increasingly popular electric bicycles, Albrecht said the real
