It was mentioned earlier today about several pitchers and other
players having the flu this week, some of which apparently either didn’t make the trip or went back to Bburg. So, that definitely could have been some of our issues yesterday and today.
However, does anyone know if VT offers flu vaccinations, and if so, do many players opt to have them?
For the record, I didn’t begin having the annual vaccinations until I got into my mid-sixties, and that was primarily a precautionary measure due to age. I may have had the flu earlier in my life, but don’t really remember having it per se.

I got the flu when I was in my early 40s, and it kicked my a$$. Ever since

RJ, if you had the flu, you would remember it. Especially a bad case.**

As Crosby, Stills and Nash sang I "had the flu for Christmas" in 1968. . .
