It was always an awkward moment when someone needed the red bat.
“Yeah, Billy, you can play but you gotta use the red bat.”
“But I wanna use the yellow bat like everybody else.”
“Motherfucker, you went 0-for-46 yesterday. The yellow bat is no longer an option for you.”
Rain or Shine
Centennial High School in Franklin, TN held graduation on the football field in heavy pouring rain, soaking students and families. Despite the forecast, no indoor backup was used. Diplomas stayed dry in plastic, but the chaotic ceremony drew frustration and backlash from parents.
The way the players speak about De Zerbi, you’d be amazed if any of them will want to leave in the summer. He’s done so much more than keep us up. He’s made the players remember the privilege they have in playing for Tottenham Hotspur. He’s made it a place you want to be. Next season has the potential to make supporting this club a pleasure for the first time in a long time. Everyone should buy in to it. COYS
The top boys hoopers in Wisconsin since 2010 were drafted in this week's Starting 5.
The criteria was based solely on their HS career.
15 players for 15 years of hoops. Did we get right? Comment who had the best draft, and who got left off #wisbb
Was not ready for Eric Church to deliver the best commencement speech I’ve ever heard.
Six guitar strings. Six pillars of a life.
Faith. Family. Spouse. Ambition. Community. You.
Tune them when you’re whole, not just when you’re broken.
Watch the whole thing.
If you love Chicago sports like we do, it’s because of guys like Les Grobstein. Covered 50+ years of great Chicago sports moments including the Lee Elia alltime rant, which Les recorded and shared in the pre viral days. 😢🍺
Baseball player Lee Elia, son of Albanian immigrant Connie Elia, managed the Cubs and Phillies but is best remembered for his 1983 rant against Cubs fans. A perfect display of that Albanian passion. He’s one of the only Albanians to ever make it to the pros in MLB. 🇦🇱⚾️
People forget that if not for Les Grobstein and his tape recorder, the world would've been deprived of this epic rant from Cubs Manager, Lee Elia, back in 1983.
