It’s a cool time in local sports. Pacers are on a heater, Colts have won four straight, Purdue has reasonable national title aspirations and IU is off to a great start in the Big Ten. Sounds like a good time to subscribe to https://t.co/jM0EBtdhaP. Just saying.

Long Brooks Robinson story I believe I told on radio:

When the Orioles played in Memorial Stadium, the PA announcer was named Rex Barney. When a fan made a great catch of a foul ball, he'd say, "Give that fan a contract." At a game with my dad and Brooks fouls off a pitch. Dad makes a leaping catch, everyone cheers, Rex does his thing. I'm over the moon. I got a Brooks Robinson foul ball. Can't believe it.

Next day at school, I tell everyone. Obviously. After school we have to play catch with this ball. Obviously. I figure I can throw a major league curve ball with it. I can't. I throw it low, my friend can't catch it. Now is when I mention we lived at the top of a hill. Ball rolls down the street and into a sewer.

The Brooks ball is gone. I never told my dad when he was alive. I always look up to the sky at this point and say, "Sorry 'bout that, Pop."

I tell this story decades later at a charity event in Baltimore. Turns out a man at our table did some work with Brooks. A week later a box arrives at my house with this and a note:

Hope this makes up for the one that got away, Brooks.

Indeed it did, Brooks. What a man.

Think this has gotten lost in shuffle given Powell's obsession with core services ex-housing inflation-- this is from Atlanta Fed President Bostic's speech in South Africa today:

Great article by ⁦@dgmchugh⁩ from ⁦@AP⁩ on how Russia is laboring under the weight of western sanctions. The West could do a lot more - it could lower the G7 price cap to $50, which would increase the pain on Putin. But existing sanctions work. https://t.co/6DpVHawhN8

Ask questions. Listen to the answers. Add context. Be open-minded. Rinse. Repeat. The inimitable @Kathygannon on the subject she knows best: Afghanistan.

Joan excelled at digging out important safety stories on the transportation beat. She didn’t take spin or excuses. A fine reporter gone too soon.

JACKSON HOLE (AP) _ The continued resilience of the U.S. economy could require further interest rate increases to combat inflation, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said Friday in a closely watched speech.
