To say this was a dream of a lifetime is an understatement. I got to speak with Sadaharu Oh, the undisputed worldwide home run king. He was warm, kind and gracious. ""I never remember seeing this level of excitement from fans and players," Oh said. www.mlb.com/news/sadahar...

I am so glad I remembered what tomorrow is before making plans to work in the NYC office.

I will be most disappointed with my fellow GenXers who didn't get the purple row of today's Connections first.

Thank all the gods in the universe for a good copyeditor.

The French Connection, of course. Unforgiven, sure. But for me, this is Gene Hackman. Cigars!

“How do you like me now, mfer” Gen X mutters while finishing today’s Strands in 60 seconds flat

I made a lot of jokes during the 2024 election cycle about Cake or Death because honestly, how hard could it be? America:

I love this time of year because people will post something super dramatic and vague like “Nooooooo” and I can’t tell if it’s about football or *gestures outside window* all of this.

Take a break from your regularly scheduled doomscrolling and marvel at this clip. A jawdropping feat of editing by Questlove - incredible!

I know there are more important things to be upset about right now -- and believe me, the rage is burning -- but losing the last living member of The Band ... 💔

When you walking into the donut shop and see someone leaving with the last apple fritter...

From St. Boniface grade school to shagging flies with a tuba in the World Series, to spider bites and gracing the pages of Sports Illustrated in a speedo. Here are just a few of our favorite tales from the remarkable life of Bob Uecker. www.mlb.com/brewers/news...

He loved baseball, and baseball loved him right back. 💔

Pop-Tarts Bowl! Go Canes! 🙌

Today is the baseball solstice, halfway between the last out of the World Series and the first pitch of the first Spring Training game

Happy and merry to you and your loved ones from our interfaith home. 🕎 🎄💙💛❤️💚

ok but it could also be Nandor the Relentless

Unearthed some NYC history during a recent decluttering. 🚊

The 2024 Baseball Winter Meetings have begun where you too can have an All-Star outfielder for the cool price of about $750 million

Offspring really should know better by now than to say anything I can use as a song prompt. To wit, this morning: Offspring: "They say ..." Me: " ... we're young and we don't know, we won't find out until we grooooooow 🎵"

Watching The Little Mermaid as a kid: I’m Ariel! I’m a princess and I want to marry a handsome prince! Watching The Little Mermaid as an adult: I’m Ursula. Some under-qualified white man usurped my throne, took my trident, and now I practice witchcraft.

Hurricanes. Oof.

In a world full of Maye M*sks, be a Penelope Hegseth.

That dastardly wench Mother Nature kiboshed our plans, but the offspring and I are warm and dry, my loved ones are healthy and safe, and there's plenty to eat, a tree to be decorated and football to watch. For all of these riches, I'm thankful. Hope you have a fantastic day. 🦃❤️

Hallmark needs to start making Hallowe’en romances. She’s a gal from the big city seeking a new life in a small town. He’s a mysterious horseman cursed to throw his flaming head at passersby for eternity. And when these two meet one night, sparks, and heads, will fly.

The offspring just told me I'm a "pretty good mom." So I've got that going for me, which is nice.
