Oh my goodness, sweet Murphy couldn’t believe his eyes at first, but once he got close enough to smell, he knew right away! 😭😭😭

Frustrated #Cowboys DBs Michael Downs and Dennis Thurman attempt to break up the Redskins signature "Fun Bunch" group touchdown celebration.

The teams are assessed offsetting personal fouls, and during the following offseason, the #NFL would outlaw "excessive celebrations".

Eddie Feigner, who from 1945 to 2000 with his 4-man softball team known as The King and His Court, claimed 9743 victories, 141517 strikeouts, 930 no-nos, and 238 perfect games.

Here he is striking out Mays, Killebrew and McCovey.

He thought he was bad ass. He thought wrong.

Rob Manfred says there’s “buzz” around adding the “Golden At-Bat” rule, where a team could choose one at-bat in every game to use its best hitter regardless of where they are in the lineup.

This would be the dumbest rule implementation in the history of professional sports.

I recently read about man who collects pictures of hitters who had hit walk-off home runs. He said that the reason he did this is because this is how he views us entering heaven.

Look at the faces of his teammates waiting to welcome him home. Look at their excitement. They can’t wait to celebrate with him.

Look at the fans. Arms raised, big smiles, maybe even hugs for a perfect stranger.

Perhaps this is your first holiday season without someone important who is now waiting for you in heaven. Maybe it’s just another one with that big hole in your heart and an empty seat at the table. Either way, I hope you can find encouragement in this picture, what it represented to the man who collected it, and find joy this year. #heaven #hope #joy #grief
