Boggs, who had served in that capacity since October 1, 2003." So states a notice posted today at the home page of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. A reader emails, "Note that Judge Batchelder's 65th birthday is tomorrow." Thus, by stepping down as Chief Judge today instead of serving his full seven-year term as the Sixth Circuit's Chief Judge -- which apparently would have expired sometime in 2010 -- Judge Boggs has allowed Judge Batchelder to become the Sixth Circuit's Chief Judge, a post she would have been statutorily ineligible to assume once she turned 65 years of age.

Second update: In coverage of that Federal Circuit ruling, Brent Kendall of Dow Jones Newswires reports that "US Appeals Court Orders New Trial In Golf Ball Patent Case."

We had great seats directly behind home plate, and we ended up sitting next to Bats starting pitcher Ben Jukich, who was charting the pitches with a radar gun and who will be tonight's starting pitcher for the Bats. IronPigs outfielder Michael Taylor -- who we last saw play last month in the AA Eastern League All-Star Game -- hit for the cycle and went 5-for-5 at the plate. He completed the cycle with a game-tying solo home-run in the bottom of the 9th inning. The 'Pigs won on a walk-off single with one out in the bottom of the 10th inning with runners on first and third and both the infield and outfield playing in.
