From Sarah Pounds' campaign for the Michigan State House of Representatives: "I believe the best way to convince people I'm the right person for this job is to talk about MY vision for the future... without tearing [my opponent] down... We can disagree without being cruel to each other."

The USA right now, in a nutshell: A woman collapses behind JD Vance at a rally, and the First Responder who arrives on scene is a cop, not a doctor. (I wonder if the cop checked her ID before aid was rendered. Shockingly, Vance has the decency to say he hopes she's okay.)

Cincinnati Reds? PNC? DRAFT KINGS? Boycotting these entities might be impractical, but shaming them here at least sheds a little light on their malfeasance and inhumanity toward assault survivors Thank you Judd Legum for posting this list, and shame on these companies for funding that horrible ad

OMG what is happening New York will soon be unrecognizable under all these sharia law-ish policies, and we're letting it happen right under our noses How much more of this will we have to suffer under our radical Muslim mayor who hates the rich and wants poor people to be able to eat and stuff

So proud of two of my 2026 Wendelstedt classmates, Greta Langhenry & Lisa Kimura Ballard, who umpired today's doubleheader at Manzanar, a WWII Japanese internment camp. The event was the culmination of three years of planning and field restoration. Watch it here: www.youtube.com/live/n_ey7IB...

Katie Krall at the Babe Ruth Museum in Baltimore Saturday Nov 14 at 12 noon. Hope to see you there for more SABR talk!

Power to the People, who are us

More of Mamdani's dangerous sharia-adjacent policies upending the lives of pet-loving New Yorkers, who'll now be able to access free food for their dogs and cats, a measure designed to minimize pet surrenders and keep our furry friends fed and cared for by their owners. www.nyc.gov/mayors-offic...

For anyone near Rickwood Field on Sunday, October 25. More details here: rickwood.com/events/5th-a...

Baseball beats in the hearts of Palestinians living in the US, and they carry its spirit to faraway places where they play other teams, and I am here for all of it

"...in the best interest of the people"? What "best interest"? The interest in creating more terrorists than we kill? In turning the US into Afghanistan, Iran, North Korea, nations that still carry out public executions? And do such executions "hold criminals & terorists accountable"? NO THEY DON'T

The reality of Manzanar was harsh and horrible, but a spectacular lineup of SABR authors' retelling of its tales is truly a labor of love and hope. The new website and book offer powerful glimpses into the way things were. Now more than ever, we must remain vigilant so they're never that way again.

And she was great in "The Wizard of Oz" too. In all seriousness, Margaret Hamilton the scientist was an early leader in the field of computer sciences. She headed up the software engineering lab at MIT and played an integral role in NASA moon missions that put US cybertechnology on the map. RIP

Farewell to Moe Resner, who enjoyed a stand-up career as Jackie Mason's opening act and became an adult men's baseball lifer until he was in his mid-eighties and couldn't run so well anymore. He made this doc about the NYGiants' final game at the Polo Grounds in 1957: youtu.be/xNIFwY5nb64?...

New York is going down the drain under our muslim sharia-loving commie homo lefty pinko mayor. Kids reading books at age 2! Getting fed nutritious meals at school! Potholes being filled, Second Avenue completely re-paved. DoorDash workers being repaid money they were cheated out of. We are doomed.

Oh no, our socialist commie muslim mayor is up to no good again, forcing a company to settle a workers' law suit because DoorDash CHEATED a quarter of a million hardworking people out of money they earned but were stiffed for by DD. REAL leadership would have been keeping the money for himself!

In a stunning display of grit and resilience, Ayami Sato pitched a complete game shutout against the San Francisco Firebells to earn the first WPBL league championship for the LA Queens! What a season, what a way to end a season! It feels like a dream, a recurring dream❤️⚾ www.msn.com/en-us/sports...

Curtis Pride is an outstanding human being; he played for the Nashua Pride of the Atlantic League in 1999 when I umpired there. He continues to show his love for baseball, particularly women's baseball, and his wife Lisa is an announcer for a minor league team in Florida. A real baseball lifers duo!

Women's pro baseball is good for business! www.newschannel20.com/news/local/w...

"Moral laryngitis" Couldn't have not said it better myself

Clemente was magnificent in every way

He told the unvarnished truth in "Ball Four" and was shunned by his brethren for his honesty, but to many of us he was a hero for it.

Remembering Mike Brennan, NYFD firefighter out of Engine 54‚ Ladder 4‚ Battalion 9 at 48th St & 8th Avenue in Manhattan, nicknamed "The Pride of Midtown." Mike was only 27 when he died, and was greatly beloved and will be eternally missed by his family and friends. www.firehero.org/fallen-firef...

Took my friend since 2nd grade Liz Chanler to a Tom Rush concert at the lovely Opera House in Camden, Maine. He played "No Regrets," "Urge for Going," and a stirring "St. James Infirmary Blues" as I was transported back a half century when I taught myself to play guitar listening to Tom Rush albums.

Anyone in town for the waning days of the WPBL season, Tuesday 9/8 is an off day, so come to the movies instead and learn about some of the women now playing in the league, and some who aren't, in Mark Durand's absorbing film, "Her Game is Hardball." Grab your free tickets now! www.atthelegacy.com

There are angels among us, and Chloe, Michael Negrón's granddaughter who died last year of a rare disease, was one of them. In her name, Chloe's Closet was created to help other sick kids access life-enhancing medical equipment and therapies. Like I said, angels among us.

Curt Flood is one of those players who, when you learn he's not in the Hall of Fame, you go, "Wait, WHAT? How can CURT FLOOD not be in the Hall of Fame? How is that even possible?"

Katie Phang is a National Treasure and a BadAss, and the two are not mutually exclusive. Ron DeSantis is a MAGA grifter and a Horse's Ass, and the two are often the same

Baseball is life ❤️⚾

This table is reserved for those who fought and died for Ukraine. Today is the Day of Remembrance of the Defenders of Ukraine. Cafes, bookstores, restaurants, you name it, reserve one Memory Table for them. The bookstore I visited today had one, too. 🌻

We were not worthy, but she loved all of us anyway
