Here are some important events that occurred while I was wallowing in self pity.

January 1, 1970: Chub Feeney takes over as NL president‚ succeeding Warren Giles‚ who is retiring. Chub was also considered for the role of Commissioner of Baseball, but Bowie Kuhn received more votes.

January 14, 1970: Mets General Manager Johnny Murphy died of a heart attack at age 61. He is replaced by Bob Scheffing.

January 20, 1970: Lou Boudreau is elected into the Hall of Fame.

January 29, 1970: Pitcher Miguel Fuentes is shot and killed during a bar fight in Loiza Aldea, Puerto Rico. He was 20 years old.
