Looking back on legendary Richmond Braves players
SUMMARY: The 1986 Richmond Braves were a standout team, featuring a “million-dollar infield” with players who all made it to the major leagues. They won the International League regular season and clinched the championship after a dramatic playoff comeback, including a key performance by a young Tom Glavin. When Glavin was promoted, he was replaced by John Smoltz, marking a rare moment where two future Hall of Famers swapped places in AAA. Many Braves players from the ’90s championship teams, including Chipper Jones and Andrew Jones, came through Richmond, making it a key place to see future MLB stars.

Man accused of killing Minnesota lawmaker arrested after ‘largest manhunt in state history’
SUMMARY: Vance Boelter was arrested near his farm in Green Isle, Minnesota, ending what authorities call the largest manhunt in state history. He is accused of killing former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, and separately shooting State Senator John Hoffman and his wife. Police discovered a list of potential targets, including Democratic lawmakers and abortion rights advocates. The attacks highlight a rising trend of threats against elected officials. No motive has been released. A memorial for the Hortmans grows at the state capitol, and senators are set to receive a bipartisan security briefing amid renewed safety concerns.
57-year-old Vance Boelter has been arrested alive in a field near his home in Sibley County, where the search concentrated Sunday.

Flood watch remains in effect; more scattered storms with potential for torrential downpours
SUMMARY: A flood watch remains in effect through tonight for much of the area, with potential for torrential downpours, especially north and west of Richmond. Storms today may produce rainfall rates up to 2–3 inches per hour and gusts near 40 mph. Scattered storms are likely mid-to-late afternoon and into the evening. Sunday, Father’s Day, will be muggy with highs near 80 in Richmond, cooler to the north and east. A marginal risk of strong storms exists south of I-64. Rain chances ease midweek as temps rise to the 90s. A front Thursday brings brief relief before heat returns next weekend.
We’re tracking more scattered storms for Saturday. Showers and storms will increase from mid-afternoon into the evening. Due to the muggy air, torrential downpours will occur, and localized flooding is possible. Some spots could pick up multiple inches of rainfall. A few storms could have some gusts in excess of 40 mph.
