Memoir
In June 2010, Benatar's memoir, Between a Heart and a Rock Place, was released. The book was published by HarperCollins and was acquired by Lisa Sharkey. Benatar's memoir touches on her battles with her record company Chrysalis, the


texts:
 difficulties that her career caused in her personal life, and feminism. In the memoir, she is quoted as saying, "For every day since I was old enough to think, I've considered myself a feminist …  It's empowering to watch and to know that, perhaps in some way, I made the hard path [women] have to walk just a little bit easier."The book went on to become a New York Times bestseller. Initially reluctant to undertake the project, she found the actual writing process so enjoyable that it inspired her with plans to write a novel. In summer 2011, Benatar announced she was working on a Christmas album and a novel about the second coming of Christ. Band
Although billed as a solo artist, Benatar recorded and toured with a consistent set of band members over most of her career:
 Neil "Spyder" Giraldo (incorrectly spelled as "Geraldo" in early liner notes/credits) is the lead guitarist of the band and has performed on all of Benatar's albums. Myron Grombacher, who played with Giraldo in Rick Derringer's touring band, is drummer on nine of Benatar's original albums (Crimes of Passion, Precious Time, Get Nervous, Live from Earth, Tropico, Seven the Hard Way, Wide Awake in Dreamland, True Love, and Gravity's Rainbow) and has numerous writing credits. Grombacher is easily recognizable in the music videos, particularly as the mad dentist in "Anxiety (Get Nervous)". Charlie Giordano performed keyboard duties on six albums (Get Nervous, Live from Earth, Tropico, Seven the Hard Way, Wide Awake in Dreamland and True Love) and is identifiable by his glasses and distinctive

Roger Capps, the original bassist for the first five albums (In the Heat of the Night, Crimes of Passion, Precious Time, Get Nervous, and Live from Earth), co-wrote "Hell Is For Children" with Benatar and Giraldo and left the band in 1984. Scott St. Clair Sheets (Scott Sheets) who was originally the lead guitarist of the infamous 1970s NYC band, The Brats, was an original member of the <mask>r Band. Sheets is credited as guitarist on the first 3 albums (In the Heat of the Night, Crimes of Passion, and Precious Time) and first 3 world tours. He wrote the song "Prisoner of Love" for the Crimes of Passion album and co-wrote the hit "Fire and Ice" for the Precious Time album. Mick Mahan is the band's bassist and has performed with Benatar since 1995 and has appeared on albums (Innamorata and Go). The original bassist, Roger Capps, was replaced by Donnie Nossov on Tropico, and then later by Frank Linx.Donnie Nossov was the band's 2nd bassist for 2 of <mask>'s albums (Tropico and Seven the Hard Way)
 Frank Linx was the bassist for 2 of <mask>r's studio albums (Wide Awake in Dreamland and Gravity's Rainbow)

<mask> (May 25, 1902—July 26, 1963) was a German historian and political scientist. Thieme converted to the Catholic Church from Lutheranism and was part of an international intellectual network, along with figures such as Waldemar Gurian and John M. Oesterreicher (both converts from Judaism), who initially argued against anti-Jewish sentiment and for Jewish conversion to Christianity. After the Second World War, he was a pioneer in Catholic-Jewish interfaith dialogue through his work at Gertrud Luckner's Freiburger Rundbrief and numerous personal correspondencies. Although Thieme died before the end of the Second Vatican Council, his activities, along with his intellectual sparing partner Oesterreicher, paved the way for Nostra aetate (Declaration on the Relation of the Church with Non-Christian Religions). Biography

Early life and background
<mask> was born in Leipzig as the son of <mask>, an ethnic German Lutheran Protestant theologian, who taught at the University of Leipzig. His brother was the legal historian <mask>. From 1912 he attended the Königin-Carola-Gymnasium, which he left in 1921 with the secondary school leaving certificate.He then studied philosophy, history and law at the universities of Leipzig, Basel and Berlin until 1926. As early as 1924 he received his doctorate under his teacher Hans Driesch on the subject of Schopenhauer's metaphysics in its relationship to the Kantian transcendental philosophy. From 1927 <mask> was a lecturer at the Berlin Deutsche Hochschule für Politik, following his teacher Hermann Heller there. Thieme, the son of a Lutheran family from Dresden, identified as a Christian throughout his life including during his youth. Thieme became involved in left-wing politics and joined the Social Democratic Party of Germany in 1924. This shocked some of his friends, as at the time, the Social Democratic Party of Germany identified as Marxist (though democratic) and was openly anti-religious in its materials. Thieme continued to pronounce his religious beliefs, however, editing the Religiöse Besinning publication which promoted ecumenism between Protestants and Catholics (something

 then condemned by the Vatican).From 1931 to 1933 he was professor of history and civics at the Pedagogical Academy in Elbing. In the last years of the Weimar Republic, he briefly flirted with conservative revolution and "third positionist" politics, including Otto Strasser, the Neue Blätter für den Sozialismus (Social Democrats who were on the right of the party) and the Catholic Ring Movement of Heinrich Brüning. Following Adolf Hitler's rise to power and the establishment of National Socialism as the ruling regime in Germany, Thieme was due to give an address at a Social Democratic Party event in Elbing celebrating <mask> on the fiftieth anniversary of his death, on March 14, 1933. However, the evet was cancelled as the Gestapo rounded up Marxist politicians in the city, a week later Thieme himself was placed in protective custody. Thieme was informed that he no longer had a job at the academy as Social Democrats were banned from holding state positions. The Church and the Jews
At first, Thieme, looking to protect his family, considered joining Der Stahlhelm, so that he would avoid political persecution. However, his wife forbade this.By July 1933, while visiting Berlin, Thieme heard first hand accounts of the Köpenick's week of bloodshed; violence carried out by the Sturmabteilung (SA), where at least 21 people, including Thieme's fellow Social Democrats, were killed (many more were tortured). From this point on, he went into open opposition to the National Socialist regime. By this time, many of the Protestant Landeskirche were bending to the Hitler government and adopting the "Aryan paragraph"; much to the dismay of Thieme (converts of Jewish descent were banned from holding positions within these Protestant churches). Controlling and arbitrarily changing the doctrines of the Catholic Church would prove more difficult for any political regime; this attracted Thieme and some German Protestants to it at the time (while not holding Jews in high regard, the Catholic Church did not exclude on the basis of racial origin, converts from taking part in the life of the Church). Thieme entered the Catholic Church on January


texts:
 30, 1934, and around forty Protestant pastors from the "Thieme circle" followed. German officials lodged a complaint to Rome about the Thieme circle and Alfred Rosenberg, the leading NSDAP ideologue and author of The Myth of the Twentieth Century, condemned Thieme for his "treasonous pilgrimage to Rome." In 1935, with the attention of the political authorities now directly on him and political violence a viable threat, Thieme elected to leave Germany and emigrated to Switzerland.While in Switzerland, Thieme was in contact with other political exiles on the left who had fled Germany, in particular Walter Benjamin and Theodore Adorno of the Frankfurt School. Thieme sent Benjamin a copy of his 1934 work, Old Verities: A History of the Personal Formation of the West. Benjamin viewed Thieme's work positively, as it reminded him of the theology of his old German Protestant friend, Florens Christian Rang; it chimed well with Benjamin's view that Marxism is a secularisation of "Judeo-Christian messianism." The correspondence between the two men lasted a number of years: in 1936, during the Berlin Olympics, Thieme helped Benjamin to publish the work German People (under the pseudonym "Detlef Holz") through Vita Nova in Lucerne, which attacked the spirit of the National Socialist-era. Here from Switerland, together with Waldemar Gurian (a Russian-Jewish convert to Catholicism) and edited by John M. Oesterreicher (an Austrian-Jewish convert to Catholicism), Thieme wrote a memorandum in 1937 entitled "The Church of Christ and the Jewish Question", which called on all Christians, but especially the Pope and the Roman Curia, to oppose contemporary anti-Jewish sentiment and to take a public position on the movement against the Jews in Germany. Since 1943 he was entitled to live in Läufelfingen, Basel-Landschaft. Interfaith in the post-war years
From 1947 he was visiting professor, from 1953 full professor for European history, philosophy and German studies at the foreign and interpreting institute of the University of Mainz in Germersheim.In 1950, Thieme changed his position in regards to the Christian mission to the Jews, arguing


texts: instead that the adherents of Rabbinic Judaism were pleasing to God as Jews and need not convert (contrary to the traditional Christian teaching that is sometimes referred to as supersessionism and specifically the Catholic concept of Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus). As an attempt to justify this theologically, Thieme attempted to radically reinterpret a passage in St. Paul the Apostle's Letter to the Romans. He spread these ideas through his work as co-editor of the Freiburger Rundbrief, a publication associated with Gertrud Luckner (an Anglo-German convert to Catholicism from Quakerism who was part of the German resistance and had spent time in the Ravensbrück concentration camp) which he had co-edited since 1948. The publication was founded to "oppose anti-semitism within Christianity" and was spread throughout German-speaking Catholic and Protestant parishes. Although their views were unpopular and viewed as radical, it had some supporters such as Thieme's longtime intellectual partner Oesterreicher, by then at Seton Hall University in the United States and Paul Démann in France (a Hungarian-Jewish convert to Catholicism from the Congregation of Our Lady of Sion, who had participated in the Seelisberg Conference associated with Jules Isaac). Thieme also maintained a close correspondence with a number of Jewish figures during this time, including Martin Buber, Ernst Ehrlich (future Director of B'nai B'rith in Europe, also based in Switzerland), as well as the Rabbis of Bern and Geneva, amongst others. Thieme maintained contacts with Christian-Jewish societies and was a consultant for religious matters at the German Coordination Council of Societies for Christian-Jewish Cooperation.From 1954 to 1963 he was director of the foreign and interpreting institute, then he was deputy director. Although Oesterreicher and Thieme mainted a correspondence after the war, they had a falling out in 1960, with Thieme under the impression that Oesterreicher viewed him as un-Orthodox (Oesterreicher held out some hope for Jewish conversion to Christianity into the 1960s). Despite this and Thieme dying before reconciling with his


texts:
 intellectual sparing-partner, Oesterreicher later adopted the same views as Thieme and working with Cardinal Augustin Bea at the Second Vatican Council had a significant influence on drafting the document Nostra aetate (Declaration on the Relation of the Church with Non-Christian Religions). According to John Connelly, Oesterreicher borrowed directly Thieme's vision of the end times which he had formulated for an ecumenical congress in Evanston in 1954, into the text of Nostra aetate (Thieme had drawn from <mask> from this and Barth had drawn it from Moses Maimonides).

 diction in several languages prompted an invitation to record Tagore's entire Rabindra Sangeet compositions in Bengali, preserving them for posterity. He had sung in French, and even ventured into jazz fusion, collaborating with the top Carnatic percussion teacher, Sri T.H. Subash Chandran, in a concert for Malaysian royalty.Early life

Balamuralikrishna was born in a Brahmin family at Sankaraguptam, East Godavari District, Madras Presidency (now a part of Andhra Pradesh state). His father, <mask>i Pattabhiramayya, was a well known musician and his mother, Suryakanthamma, was a veena player. Balamuralikrishna's mother died when he was an infant and he was raised by his father. Observing his interest in music, his father put him under the tutelage of Parupalli Ramakrishnayya Pantulu, a direct descendant of the shishya parampara (lineage of disciples) of Tyagaraja. Under his guidance, the young Balamuralikrishna learned Carnatic music. At the age of eight, he gave his first full-fledged concert at a Thyagaraja Aradhana in Vijayawada. <mask> Suryanarayana <mask> Bhagavatar, a Harikatha performer, saw the musical talent in him and gave the prefix "Bala" (lit.child) to the young Balamuralikrishna. (Prior to this, his name was <mask>a; following Bhagavatar's addition of the prefix, he began to be known as Balamuralikrishna.) Having begun his musical career at a very young age, by age fifteen he had mastered all the 72 melakartha ragas and had composed krithis in each of them. His Janaka Raga Manjari was published in 1952 and recorded as Raagaanga Ravali in a nine-volume series by the Sangeeta Recording Company. Not merely content with his fame as a Carnatic vocalist, he also played the kanjira, mridangam, viola, and violin. He accompanied various musicians on the violin. He also presented

 solo viola concerts.He was the person who introduced viola to classical Indian music. Experimentation

Characteristic of Balamuralikrishna's musical journey have been his non-conformism, spirit of experimentation, and boundless creativity. Balamuralikrishna has experimented with the Carnatic music system by keeping its rich tradition untouched. Ragas such as Ganapathi, Sarvashri, <mask>i, Lavangi etc. are credited to him. The ragas which he invented represent his quest for new frontiers. Ragas such as Lavangi are set to three or four notes in ascending and descending scale.Ragas such as <mask>hi, Lavangi, Sidhdhi, Sumukham that he created have only four notes; while his other ragaa creations such as Sarva Sri, Omkaari, and Ganapathy have only three notes. He also innovated in the tala (rhythm) system. He has incorporated "gati bhEdam" (గతి భేదం) in the "sashabda kriya" (సశబ్ద క్రియ). Actions that can produce sound/shabda (శబ్ద) in talas are called sashabda kriya – సశబ్ద క్రియ and are a part of the existing Tala chain. New chains are possible, too. Saint Arunagirinaadhar used to inject such systems in his famous Thirupugazh, but only as Sandham, while Balamuralikrishna is known to be the pioneer in bringing such Sandhams into a logical rhythm, with Angam and definition. Trimukhi, Panchamukhi, Saptamukhi, and Navamukhi are the basic classifications in his New Tala System.He gave his authorisation to S. Ram Bharati to found "Academy of Performing Arts and Research" in Switzerland. He also worked on music therapy. After his death, his family started a trust in his name 'Dr.M.Balamuralikrishna Memorial Trust' to honor and keep his legacy alive. He has authored a musical therapy research paper with Shreya Kappagantula regarding "The Effects of Musical Therapy on Mental

Compositions
Balamuralikrishna has over 400 compositions to his credit and is one of the very few people to have composed in all the 72 Melakarta Ragas and has created several ragas, with 4 notes and 3 notes and also has invented a new Tala system. His compositions encompass every genre in Carnatic Music including Varnas, Krithis, Thillanas, Bhavageethas. Cinema

Balamuralikrishna has sung in several films in Telugu, Sanskrit, Malayalam, Kannada and Tamil. He made his acting debut with the Telugu film Bhakta Prahlada (1967) as Narada, and has acted in a few other films in Telugu and Tamil.Death

<mask> passed away at his residence in Chennai on 22 November 2016; he was 86. He died in deep sleep at around five in the evening, due to a cardiac arrest. He was cremated with full state honours at Besant Nagar Crematorium in Chennai the very next day. Thousands attended his funeral. He is survived by three daughters and three sons who are all Doctors. His wife, Smt. Annapurna, outlived him for three months, and died on 16 February 2017.Legacy
His family has formed the Dr. M. Balamurali Krishna Memorial Trust to represent him after his death. The film was directed by National award winner Director Gul Bahar Singh. Telugu Book of Records honoured him for Telugu Legendary Personality in 2014 at Vijayawada

Ragas created

Talas created

The 'Mukhi' Tala system builds on the traditional Adhi Tala or Chathusra Jaathi Triputa Tala ( I 0 0 ), however the first kriya or mukha (meaning face) of each anga takes the gathi of its tala name and the rest in chathusra gathi. For example: Panchamukhi – the first kriya of each anga will be in kanda gathi and so the tala consists of 35 Matras (5 + 4 + 4 + 4 | 5 + 4 | 5 + 4 || ). Following this method, four Talas can be generated:

 can be extended across all 35 sooladi thalas, however currently these four are in practice. Compositions:

There have been many pallavis set to panchamukhi Tala such as 'Isai inbathirku ēdillaye ivulakil – sentamil' in ragam Lathangi composed by Amrutha Venkatesh and 'Aadi Vaa, Pirai Soodi Vaa, Aalavaai Naathane''' in ragam Abheri composed by Rameshvaidya and tuned by S.J Jananiy and also others in Bilahari, Thodi and Kalyani composed by Dr. <mask> himself.

NBA draft
<mask> was selected in the first round of the 1995 NBA draft with the third pick by the Philadelphia 76ers. At one time he was hyped as the "Next Jordan" since both players played at North Carolina, went #3 in the draft, were listed at 6'6", looked similar physically, and had similarly acrobatic games. Coincidentally, both had a taller power forward from UNC drafted immediately after them in the #4 spot, Sam Perkins in 1984, and Rasheed Wallace in 1995. Philadelphia 76ers (1995–1998)
In his first season with the 76ers, <mask> led his team with a 19.2 points per game (PPG) average, and was named to the NBA's All-Rookie team.In the 1996–97 season, the 76ers also drafted Allen Iverson.

In the 2004 offseason, <mask>—along with Christian Laettner and the Wizards' first-round draft pick (Devin Harris)—was traded to the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for former Tar Heel and NBA All-Star Antawn Jamison. He did not play for 41 games during his first two seasons with Dallas due to groin and continued knee problems, and played mostly the role of sixth man. During the 2004–05 playoffs, <mask> began wearing pressure stockings during games to keep his legs warm, to aid his groin injury, and hold his thigh sleeves in place; the stockings also allowed for better blood flow to the legs. The practice quickly became a trend among NBA players, with Kobe Bryant, Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and others adopting pressure stockings the following season. <mask> was still coming off the bench as the 6th man for the Dallas Mavericks during the 2005–06 NBA season. He was a significant factor in the NBA Finals series against the Miami Heat. The Mavericks suffered when <mask> was suspended for Game 5 for a flagrant foul on Shaquille O'Neal, and the Heat eventually won the series 4–2.<mask> was the third player from the Mavericks suspended during the 2006 playoffs.

Despite worries that a stress fracture to his elbow would negatively impact his chances in the 2009 MLB Draft, the Minnesota Twins selected <mask> in the first round, 22nd overall after receiving the all-clear from the team's doctor.

The stress fracture pushed <mask>'s professional baseball debut back to the beginning of the 2010 season, when he was assigned to the Class A-Advanced Fort Myers Miracle of the Florida State League. In seven starts with Fort Myers, <mask> posted a 4–1 record and a 1.87 ERA, striking out 40 batters in  innings of work. <mask>'s stint with the Miracle was short-lived: on May 11, he was promoted to the Double-A New Britain Rock Cats in order to clear room on the Fort Myers 25-man roster for new pitchers Loek van Mil and Andrei Lobanov. After winning his first three Double-A starts and building a strikeout-to-walk ratio of 3.17 in his first month and a half with his new team, <mask> was one of three Rock Cats players selected to appear at the 2010 Eastern League All-Star Game that July.<mask> put up a 7–5 record at New Britain, with a 3.68 ERA in 16 starts and 77 strikeouts in 93 innings, before he received another promotion to the Triple-A Rochester Red Wings on August 11. He had been called up to replace Jeff Manship, who had been promoted to the major leagues as a fill-in for the injured Jose Mijares. Twins minor league director Jim Rantz informed reporters that there was no intention of promoting <mask> beyond Rochester during the 2010 season, as the team wanted to shut him down after 150–160 innings, and he had already pitched  between Fort Myers and New Britain. He was shut down on August 25 in order to preserve his forearm for future seasons. At the time, <mask> had gone 0–0 with a 1.72 ERA in three Triple-A starts, giving him a combined 11–6 record and 2.96 ERA for the year. He had pitched a total of 152 innings, with 126 strikeouts and 39 walks, and had been placed on the disabled list with a sprained ankle.

 Rochester for the season, where he seemed to experience a sophomore slump: <mask> did not win a game for the Red Wings after May 29, and was 3–8 with a 4.81 ERA when he was placed on the disabled list at the start of August with an elbow injury. After a non-surgical rehabilitation program did not improve his health, <mask> underwent Tommy John surgery to repair his ulnar collateral ligament. He returned to the mound in 2012, pitching a series of rehab assignments for the Twins' lower-level affiliates before returning to Rochester on August 22, 2012, for the final two weeks of the International League season. In two starts at the end of the season, <mask> went 0–2 with a 9.45 ERA, striking out 10 batters in  innings. He continued his rehabilitation process in the Arizona Fall League, where he finished 3–2 with a 5.40 ERA, striking out 28 batters and allowing 31 hits in  innings. <mask> opened the 2013 season in Rochester, with Twins management anticipating that he would make his MLB debut sometime that season. Minnesota Twins
The Twins called <mask> up to the major leagues on June 25, 2013, after starting pitcher Mike Pelfrey suffered a back injury that placed him on the disabled list.At the time, he was the ninth pitcher to start a game for Minnesota during the 2013 MLB season, and his promotion offered a path to remain in the majors for the remainder of the year. <mask> was credited with the win in his MLB debut, allowing two runs and eight hits while striking out five batters in six innings on June 29. The Twins defeated the Kansas City Royals 6–2. His success did not continue past that debut, as <mask> struggled to strike out batters in his future starts. After posting a 2–4 record and a 6.53 ERA with 29 strikeouts in 10 starts and 51 innings, <mask> was optioned back to Rochester on August 19. In his final major league start of the season, he gave up four runs on 10 hits in only  innings. While he was sent back to Triple A to work on his pitch

The Twins spent the 2013–14 offseason retooling their pitching rotation, spending approximately $84 million on signing new pitchers during the free agency period and giving <mask> an upwards battle for a major league position on opening day. He proceeded to outbattle Scott Diamond, Vance Worley, and Samuel Deduno during spring training, posting a 2.70 ERA in four starts. <mask> was named the No. 5 starter, while Deduno was sent to the bullpen and Worley was sent to Rochester. He emerged as an early ace, posting an ERA of only 0.93 after his first three starts, including a scoreless eight-inning performance against the Toronto Blue Jays in  weather. He did not allow a home run in a game until May 10, when he gave up a three-run home run to Miguel Cabrera of the Detroit Tigers; <mask> lasted only two innings in that game, giving up six runs in the process.<mask> recorded his first MLB hit as a batter on June 2, a fifth-inning single against Matt Garza in a 6–2 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. <mask> remained in the rotation for the season, finishing with a 13–12 record and a 4.47 ERA in 31 starts. He additionally struck out 107 batters in  innings. He led the team in innings, in wins and bettered his ERA from 4.47 to 3.84 in 2015. <mask> opened the 2016 season as the Twins' No. 2 starter, behind ace Ervin Santana.

After struggling with stamina in a stretch of seven starts, <mask> pitched his first complete game victory on August 17, giving up only three runs on eight hits in a 10–3 victory over the Atlanta Braves. Because the Twins were playing a National League team at their home, <mask> also needed to bat in the game, and he became the first Minnesota pitcher to make five plate appearances in a game since Johan Santana in 2007. He went 6–11 for the year, with a 5.07 ERA and 104 strikeouts in 25 starts and  innings. After a difficult start to the 2017 season, going 0–4 with an 8.20 ERA in his first six starts, <mask> was optioned to Rochester on May 4. <mask> understood why he was sent down, telling reporters, "I don't know that I've had a more frustrating stretch that I can even remember" during his baseball career.His minor-league stint was short-lived, as an injury to Phil Hughes forced the Twins to call <mask> back up on May 22. He continued to struggle in Minnesota, and when the Twins received former Braves pitcher Jaime Garcia at the trading deadline, <mask> was optioned to Rochester for a second time to make room for Garcia in the rotation. Twins manager Paul Molitor said that the decision to send <mask> to Triple-A would keep him available should there be an issue in the Twins' rotation; if he had been sent to the bullpen, he could not be asked to make a start as easily. He compiled the same ERA in 2017, but with 12 wins, and hitters again hit over .290 against him. In 2018, he entered the Twins’ rotation again and started achieving a career-high strikeout rate than before — as of June 2018, he had struck out 66 batters in just 63 innings. <mask> finished the season with a record of 10–13 in  innings. He led the team in ERA, finishing with a

A free agent after the 2019 season, <mask> signed a three-year, $28 million contract with the Texas Rangers on December 6, 2019. Because of his ulcerative colitis diagnosis, <mask> was considered "high risk" for COVID-19, and was given the option to opt out of the 2020 MLB season while receiving a full pro-rated salary. After discussion with his wife and gastroenterologist, he decided to play the season and limit his non-baseball outings. The 60-game season was ultimately the worst of <mask>'s career as he went 2–6 with a 5.35 ERA, a 1.53 WHIP, and a 5.39 fielding independent pitching (FIP).After picking up his first win of the season on August 15, <mask> did not win again until he pitched a complete game shutout against the Houston Astros on September 17. Prior to the shutout, the Rangers staff had isolated a mechanical issue when <mask> was pitching from the stretch, which he responded to by narrowing his stance. <mask> and the rest of the Rangers' starting rotation remained healthy throughout the shortened season, but saw low inning counts: <mask> was second on the team with  innings pitched, while his rotation mate Lance Lynn led MLB with 84. <mask> was tapped for his first career opening day start in , where he was pulled after only one out after giving up five earned runs to the Kansas City Royals and briefly lifting his ERA to 135.00. His opening day outing proved to be a fluke, as <mask>'s ERA over his next five starts was only 0.82, and he did not allow a single home run in the month of April. After leading the AL with a 1.98 ERA and a 6–0 record through his first 16 starts, <mask> received his first All-Star Game selection in 2021, joining his Rangers teammates Joey Gallo and Adolis Garcia.

 Phillies
On July 30, 2021, <mask> was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies along with Ian Kennedy, Hans Crouse, and cash considerations in exchange for Spencer Howard, Kevin Gowdy, and Josh Gessner.He recorded his 1,000th career strikeout in his Phillies debut on August 1, fanning Michael Pérez of the Pittsburgh Pirates in the fifth inning of a 15–4 Phillies rout. Pitcher profile
<mask> carries a six-pitch repertoire consisting of a sinking fastball, a slider, a cut fastball, a four-seam fastball, a changeup, and a curveball. Boasting a fastball speed of only , rather than pitching for power, he aims to confuse his opponents by getting them to chase balls outside of the strike zone. His sinker is his primary pitch, with an average velocity of . Both the slider and the cutter act as off-speed pitches that feint to <mask>'s glove side, but at , the cutter is much faster than his  slider. His  changeup breaks to the opposite side of the former two pitches, while the  curveball serves as a surprise from the other five. This expanded repertoire has made <mask> an unpredictable pitcher to face; whereas, early in his career, batters knew how to hit well against him, he has improved at generating strikeouts, particularly with use of his slider.Personal life
<mask> married Elizabeth Straatmann on November 27, 2010. The couple have three children together, with the youngest born in September 2019. <mask> identifies as a Christian, and grew up attending a Southern Baptist church in Indiana. References

Theodore Roosevelt "Double Duty" <mask> (July 7, 1902 – August 11, 2005) was a professional baseball player in the Negro leagues. An accomplished two-way player, he played as a pitcher and a catcher, became a manager, and in his old age became a popular ambassador for the game. He is one of only a handful of professional baseball players who lived past their 100th birthdays, next to Red Hoff (who lived to 107) and fellow Negro leaguer Silas Simmons (who lived to age 103). Newspaperman Damon Runyon coined the nickname "Double Duty" because <mask> played as a catcher and as a pitcher in the successive games of a 1932 doubleheader between the Pittsburgh Crawfords and the New York Black Yankees. In the first of the two games at Yankee Stadium, <mask> caught the pitcher Satchel Paige for a shutout and then pitched a shutout in the second game. Runyon wrote that <mask> "was worth the price of two admissions." <mask> considered his year with the 1932 Pittsburgh Crawfords to be one of the highlights of his career.Of the six East-West All-Star Games in which he played, <mask> pitched in three and was a catcher in three. He also pitched in two and caught in six other All-Star games. He hit .376 (11-for-29) in nine exhibition games against major leaguers. Career

Early life
<mask> grew up in Mobile, Alabama as one of ten children. His brother <mask> also achieved renown as a ballplayer playing third base. The boys played baseball using a taped ball of rags with their friends including future Negro league All-Star ballplayers Leroy "Satchel"

 Paige and Bobby Robinson. In 1919, teenagers <mask> and Alex hitchhiked north to Chicago to join an older brother.The rest of the family soon followed to live on the South Side of Chicago. A year later <mask> signed on with the semi-pro Illinois Giants at $50 for every 15 games and 50¢ a day for meal money. This worked out at about $100 a month. He travelled with the Giants for a few seasons before joining Gilkerson's Union Giants, another semi-pro team with whom he played until he entered the Negro National League with the Detroit Stars in 1928. Pro ball
After a brief tenure with the Detroit Stars, <mask> played for the St. Louis Stars (1930), Homestead Grays (1931), Pittsburgh Crawfords (1932), Columbus Blue Birds (1933), New York Black Yankees, Brooklyn Eagles, Cincinnati Tigers, Memphis Red Sox, Birmingham Black Barons, Chicago American Giants, Louisville Buckeyes and Kansas City Monarchs. <mask> managed the Cincinnati Tigers in 1937, Memphis Red Sox in 1938 and Chicago American Giants in 1943. <mask> was known as a glib, fast-talking player.Ty Cobb reported that <mask> wore a chest protector that said "thou shalt not steal" during one exhibition game. He could call a clever game as a catcher and his banter from the pitching mound distracted some hitters. Biographer Kyle P. McNary estimates that <mask> had a .303 batting average, 4,000 hits and 400 homers in 36 years in the game (see Baseball statistics). Standing 5 ft 9 in and weighing 210 pounds (95 kg) <mask> had a strong throwing arm, good catching reflexes and great cunning.

Statistics for the Negro league baseball are incomplete, but available records show him hitting .273 over eight of his 23 seasons. With the Detroit Stars, he was the regular catcher for the first half of the season.When the pitching staff grew tired, he began pitching and led the team to championship. His career high for batting average was .316 for the 1929 Detroit Stars. <mask> believed the Homestead Grays 1931 team to be the greatest team of all time. The side included Josh Gibson, Oscar Charleston, Jud Wilson, and Smokey Joe Williams. Gibson and Charleston joined him in the 1932 Pittsburgh Crawfords. <mask> and his close friend Satchel Paige were easily persuaded to change sides by offers of higher earnings and both moved frequently. They also formed several Negro league all-star teams to play exhibition games against white major league stars.By the end of his career <mask> had played for 30 different teams; in one season alone, he played on five different teams. <mask> was player-manager of the integrated Jamestown Red Sox of North Dakota from May to October 1934. This made him the first black man to manage white professional players. He also played for the Chicago American Giants in that season. During that postseason, he managed a white semi-pro North Dakota team that toured Canada playing a major league all-star team gathered by Jimmie Foxx. <mask>'s team won two games out of three before Foxx was hit on

In the next season, <mask> had trouble securing his release from the Brooklyn Eagles of the Negro leagues, but on June 21 he joined the integrated Bismarck Churchills.Along with Satchel Paige, Moose Johnson, and others, <mask> helped to lead the club to the first National Semipro Championship. This North Dakota team was owned by Neil Churchill, a car dealer. Other Negro leaguers on the team included Chet Brewer, Hilton Smith, Barney Morris and Quincy Trouppe. <mask> managed the Memphis Red Sox in 1937 as well as catching and pitching for them. He stayed there for 1938 and in 1943, aged 41, he rejoined the Chicago American Giants. Despite his age, <mask> won the Negro American League MVP award that season and a year later he struck a home run into the upper deck of Comiskey Park for the highlight of that season's East-West All-Star game. In 1945 <mask> played for the Kansas City Monarchs and roomed with Jackie Robinson.He integrated two semipro leagues, the Southern Minny (Minnesota) and the Michigan-Indiana League in 1948, by signing black and white players. In 1950 <mask> managed the Chicago American Giants of the Negro American League. The team's owner, Dr. J. B. Martin, was concerned about black players joining Major League teams; he instructed <mask> to sign white players. <mask> recruited at least five young white players, including Lou Chirban and Lou Clarizio.

 pitching record; in 1952, at the age of 50, he batted .364 with a 1–0 pitching mark. A 1952 Pittsburgh Courier poll of Negro league experts named Double Duty the fifth greatest catcher in Negro league history and the 17th greatest pitcher.He retired two years later as a player-manager in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. His peak earnings had been $850 a month; the top rate for a major league player of the time was $10,000, paid monthly to Hank Greenberg in 1947. In the 1960s, <mask> was employed as a baseball scout including for a time with the Cleveland Indians. Segregation
Throughout his career, Double Duty had to endure racial segregation. In every city except Saint Paul, Minnesota, he and his colleagues had to stay in segregated hotels and eat in segregated restaurants. It was difficult to get cabs at night. He also faced racist hostility from players and has said that, among others, "Ty Cobb didn't like colored people".<mask> also recalled stopping the team car to buy gas in Waycross, Georgia. When the players tried to drink water from the car wash hose, the owner of the gas station told them, "Put that hose down—that's for white folks to drink." <mask> told a Boston Globe interviewer: "After that, I refused to buy gas from him. About four miles down the road, the gas ran out and we had to push the car five miles." Retirement
After leaving baseball, <mask> and his wife returned to a life of poverty until 1990, when they were robbed and beaten in their housing project on Chicago's South Side. A news report of this came to the

Despite two strokes and other age-related health problems, <mask> continued to be active in his community. He received the state of Illinois Historical Committee's Lifetime Achievement Award and was honored by Mayor Richard Daley as an outstanding citizen of Chicago. He has been the guest of three U.S. Presidents at the White House. A WGN documentary about <mask>'s life, narrated by Morgan Freeman, won an Emmy Award.The Illinois Department of Aging inducted him into their Hall of Fame in 2002.

In 1999, aged 96, he became the oldest player to appear in a professional game; he threw a single pitch for the Schaumburg Flyers of the Northern League.

He is said to have been an early opponent of measures for Roman Catholic political relief (meaning the removal of some or all of the various forfeitures, civil penalties, and civil disabilities placed upon Catholics) in both Ireland and Great Britain, and may have been the first to suggest to George III that the King would violate his coronation oath if he consented to the admission of Catholics to Parliament.
