Lawrence Brooks, the oldest World War II veteran in the United States and believed to be the oldest man in the nation passed away at the remarkable age of 112.

With his departure, the world loses not only a man, but a living witness to history, a member of the Greatest Generation whose courage, endurance, and quiet dignity carried him across more than a century of change. His life stands as a testament to service, sacrifice, and unwavering strength.🕊️🇺🇸

This is so true. As a working class person, I've often decried the deceptive radicalization of once salt of the earth people Fox News poisoned--especially working class old people. If something scares grandma, it's a Fox News story. Manipulation bordering on elder abuse.

[John Pavlovitz @johnpavlovitz]

The moral alteration in an unthinkable expanse of people who call this place home has been stunning in its velocity and stomach-turning in its depths. The worst part is that we can’t reach them in the ways reasonable human beings can be reached.

Before Fox News, we could meet the people around us on the common ground of our shared faith in Jesus, our respect for the Constitution, the clarity of objective truth, or shared compassion for vulnerable people. Now, they no longer have use or tolerance for such things.

Those of us who’ve lost people we love to this curated pestilence should file a class-action suit against Fox News for thirty years of malpractice and murder: for the relationships they’ve destroyed, the deaths they’ve been complicit in, the betrayal of the public trust, and for purposefully killing the goodness in human beings who will never be who they might have been otherwise.

After winning Olympic gold in 1968, George Foreman made sure to visit the unemployment office staff members who helped him find a job when he was a struggling amateur.

How can you not love Tigers rookie Kevin McGonigle? Fans of all generations quickly found out he plays with an old school mentality, in an era of flash.

“I think the biggest thing is just being who you are,” he told me.

Spent two days in Delaware County, learning all about the place that shaped Kevin McGonigle

Now McGonigle is headed home for the All-Star Game, and he has become one of Delco's proudest exports

Dillon Dingler leads Catchers in player voting for the All Star game, and it isn’t remotely close.

30 years ago, Johnathon Banks — then 14 years old — walked into the @RealKronkGym for the first time

Banks is now Kronk's new head trainer. I tell his story here in my new piece, "The Door to Pain and Fame," now live on @TGFGoodFight12

Kevin McGonigle grew up just outside Philadelphia ...

His first MLB game back home will be the 2026 All-Star Game 🤩

[David Leonard @DavidLeonard48]

And one needs to look no further than Dillon Dingler's snub at starting catcher as proof fan voting is nothing more than a popularity contest.

[Benson @Miggysbat]

MLB is gonna have to overhaul the selection process next season and limit fan input, because this is embarrassing for the sport.

[David Leonard @DavidLeonard48]

This is so true! If only more people recognized the ripple effect of those that came before us--both in our personal lives and community as a whole.

[Arnold Schwarzenegger @Schwarzenegger]

Nope! I always say there is no such thing as self-made. It’s a myth.

It took millions of people - from my parents to mentors to friends to competitors to fans and voters - to write my success story. I did not write it alone.

That’s the American Dream - not a lie about going it alone - but the truth that none of us do, and there is always someone with their hand out to lift us up.

[Brad Galli @BradGalli]

Kevin McGonigle is one of four Tigers to make the All-Star Game at 21 years or younger. The list:

• Kevin McGonigle - 2026
• Mark Fidrych - 1976
• Al Kaline - 1955-56
• Hal Newhouser - 1942

[Tigers Data @TigersData]

Since MLB expanded the playoffs in 2022, only ONE team has made the Wild Card when they were 6.0+ games back on July 4th.

The 2024 Detroit Tigers.
