Former Manager Art Howe Has Virus

Former Major League Baseball manager and one-time player Art Howe is in intensive care at a Houston hospital with the coronavirus. The 73-year-old Howe, who's best known as the manager of the Oakland Athletics teams in the late 1990s and early 2000s, told Houston TV station KPRC that he first began feeling symptoms on May 3, tested positive, and tried to get through it at home. But he was taken to the hospital by ambulance on Tuesday after his symptoms got worse.
