"Ramble On" is 56 years old and Robert Plant just walked onto The Late Show and made it sound like he wrote it this morning.

This is an amazing sports image. This was the third home run Adell stole from the Mariners, this one tumbling into the stands to grab it. The perspective is unlike any other sports action image that I can remember.

This is probably the most incredible baseball photo I've ever seen.

"Mickey Lolich was starting with one less day of rest. He pitched the first two innings like a man defusing a live bomb, working slowly and unhappily, and studying the problem at length before each new move.”
Roger Angell.
“When we got to the World Series, the people of St. Louis were convinced that the Tigers were no match for their team.
I met Bob Gibson at an autograph signing function years later and he told me that as far as St. Louis was concerned, the 1968 World Series never happened.”
Mickey Lolich.
"Mickey Lolich was far from a conventional athlete. Labelled as too heavy, too slow, and too unconventional, Lolich was dismissed by scouts and sportswriters early in his career.
But with a devastating fastball and deceptive left-handed delivery, he steadily rose through the ranks, eventually joining the Detroit Tigers in 1963.
Over the next 13 seasons, Mickey Lolich would become one of the most durable pitchers of his era, known for throwing complete games with near-superhuman consistency."
Lolich won 14 games and started 30+ games for 11 years straight (1964-1974).
His HOF credentials rival some who are there and I think he deserves some consideration. 3.44 ERA, over 200 wins and over 2,800 Ks. World Series MVP.
In my HOF!!!
Go easy.

Thirty years ago, New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel was a DE for the Buckeyes. I got portrait time in Columbus with Vrabel and DE Matt Finkes, but Vrabel told me that they wanted to play golf instead of the photo shoot. I stood my ground and got a couple of pix.#SuperBowl

@stevenjgaither Cherish the time that you have with your grandparents. It is a luxury that many don’t have.

@woodwardsports @Lions @nealruhl @NFL @ChicagoBears @Ravens @packers Yes, 1-2 is probable, but after the Browns we get the Bengals, Chiefs, Bucs, Vikings, Commanders and Eagles. 2024 was a cake walk comparatively.

Patrick Hemingway, the last surviving child of Ernest Hemingway, died this week at his home in Bozeman, Montana. I made his portrait back in the mid-1980's. He was a very pleasant person to work with, a very gentle soul. His home had wonderful window light and big game trophies.

@GinoHard_ Winnipeg only drew 14,000 fans a game last season, a relatively small number. Can Quebec City do better?

@riger1984 Part of Altuve’s resume:

•9× All-Star (2012, 2014–2018, 2021, 2022, 2024)
•2× World Series champion (2017, 2022)
•AL MVP (2017)

I get it, fan paid for his ticket, he can say anything, but you think he’s on to something?

@JayGlazer Get a couple of Coney Island dogs when you are connecting. That will make things interesting for your row mate in the last leg.
