Last week, the Wall Street Journal had a story about Cleveland Indians pitcher Trevor Bauer's favorite hobby, which included the phrase "Bauer is almost certainly baseball's best drone builder." So, he's not only into flying drones, but he builds his own. Before we go any further into the injury issue—keep your pants on, he's fine, he's just having his start pushed back one game, alright?—can we talk about drones? Like, what exactly are they? And how are they distinguishable from, say, remote control airplanes? Is it just because "drone" sounds cooler in a more sci-fi way? I thought drones were just supposed to be utilitarian and, like, bring us stuff from Amazon.Late night rescue mission was a success!! Welcome back little guy!
