We Have a Chron Commenter! Open Letter to Leah Vann

Photo by John McCoy/Getty ImagesChron, not to be confused with the Houston Chronicle, has hired a new reporter: Leah Vann. Just two months ago Vann responded on X to a suggestion that Altuve deserves respect with a curt “No,” followed up by declaring that she “didn’t need to respect cheaters.” Vann deleted her past tweets and tried to start over with a sort of apology/justification: you can read it here.

For my part, I suggest the CB community welcome Leah and show her the grace (even if undeserved) that has been denied Altuve, which is most definitely deserved. In her tweet she pledges to do better and from her track record as a journalist, it seems she will.

So I’m not here to rake Leah…
