First-time caller, long-time listener. Took nearly 10 years to succumb to peer pressure. I call that surviving.

Here is Chapter 2 of our series on Amedy (if you missed part 1, link is inside it). Not to give away a spoiler, but a detective will call her toughest human he's ever met. https://t.co/393yZ2ah5d

[Kirkland Crawford @HiKirkHere]

We start a five-part series today, penned by @seideljeff, telling the story of Amedy Dewey, about gun violence and how one survivor is going just that some six years later.

@ahammFreePress Should have hit you with a "not gonna work for me, brother" when you told me.

[Kirkland Crawford @HiKirkHere]

@ahammFreePress @peterbhatia @freepsports That said, the Free Press has come to terms with Andrew Hammond (@ahammFreePress) on his release. We wish him all the best in his future endeavors. IYKYK

[Kirkland Crawford @HiKirkHere]

@ahammFreePress @peterbhatia Andrew's contributions to @freepsports are countless, in print, online and in the audio space. He improved the quality of our work and fit in despite some impossible circumstances. He will be sorely missed.

@TDavisDMN @freepsports No, thank you @TDavisDMN. It has been your leadership that helped this entire newsroom excel on many different fronts (except maybe the softball win column). May your Cubs, Bears, Bulls and Salukies fare well (don't tell 15-year-old me I said that). Except against certain teams.

Today is my last day at the Free Press. I'm so, so grateful for my time here and all of the wonderful people who have made Detroit feel like home.

For now, I'm going to go back to California, relax and spend time with family.

@MEHtheNurseTwin @theford Oh shoot. My bad Meg. I'm just now seeing this. I thought Twitter might have burned down by now. My apologies.

I was one of the highest-paid high school draftees in MLB history at $5,500,000. ⚾

I signed at 18, big-league debut at 20, and was hanging on to my career by 25.

Here are 10 things you don’t hear about the draft, signing for millions, and professional sports. THREAD 🧵

[VinceEllis @AlabamaScribe56]

I wrote about this a couple times when I was with @freep. Kinda stunned rules haven't been adjusted in 15 years.
