@lindsayberra Watched your excellent doc. Loved the righteous defense of Yogi’s playing career, and the sequence around Cone’s perfect game was beautifully built and moving. One question: am I Yogi’s secret Jewish grandchild? #itaintover

#UniWatch revealed a world of freaks that consumed sports past and present in the same way I do. Paul Lukas pioneered, inspired—assumed the best of an audience and rewarded its passion. Thank you Paul for your support, collaboration, friendship, and astounding body of work.
Michael Smuss, the last surviving participant of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, passed away on 21 October in Israel. He was 99 years old.
He was born in 1926 in Gdańsk (then in the Free City of Danzig). His family fled to Łódź in 1938. Before the outbreak of World War II, they moved to Warsaw.
During the German occupation, Smuss was imprisoned in the Warsaw Ghetto, where he joined the resistance movement – the Jewish Combat Organization. He fought in the uprising from the very first day, 19 April 1943. Because he had a job at a workshop in which they renovated and cleaned German helmets. There, he obtained some chemicals to make Molotov cocktails.
After almost a month of fighting, he was taken into captivity. Having narrowly escaped deportation to Treblinka, Smuss was held in several forced labor and concentration camps that included Budzyń and Flossenbürg. He was liberated during the Death March towards Dachau by the US Army in April 1945.
After the war, Michael Smuss emigrated to the United States and then to Israel. He created paintings inspired by his Holocaust memories and was involved in numerous educational activities.

6️⃣0️⃣ HOME RUNS FOR BIG DUMPER 🙌
Cal Raleigh joins Babe Ruth, Roger Maris and Aaron Judge as the only players in American League history with 60 homers in a season 👏
In 1988, I was robbed of the gold medal in what became one of the biggest controversies in boxing history. By the grace of God, a couple of years ago, the man who won that medal made the trip from South Korea to my home to return it to me, feeling it was rightfully mine.
@pamsson Taylor’s corner was so confident with risking rounds she could have closed or owned. In the last 2 rounds you see the skill differential. Serrano has to be willing to take 2 to land 1 for it to be interesting. But still don’t get why Taylor fight more like last 2.
If you didn't know ... on this day in 1970, Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Dock Ellis threw a no-hitter on LSD.

@pamsson Steinbrenner holds only 5000 less than average Trop attendance. And agree games will be amazing there. They are prob better off with dynamic pricing and big demand. Will be best fan/player experience for TB ever. And numbers traveling to the see their team in a bandbox.
