    • Notes: Harang safe in San Diego

      MLB.com  |  Oct 26, 07

      CINCINNATI -- Reds starting pitcher and San Diego resident Aaron Harang knows that he and his family are lucky. They are safe and their home is still intact. Fueled in part by Santa Ana winds, Southern California wildfires this week burned nearly 2,000 homes in San Diego County and caused about one million residents to evacuate. Harang, wife Jennifer and their 1-year-old daughter, Addison, evacuated voluntarily and spent a few nights in a hotel south of Irvine, Calif. "On Monday, we stayed up all night watching flames on a hill not far from us," Harang. "You didn't know what the winds were going...

      Foul-Mouthed Hit King Strikes Out with Kids
