Julian Tavarez wanted Kevin Youkilis to work on his fielding of ground balls. So one game, after fielding a come backer, he unexpectedly threw one at Youkilis to 1B which had Kevin basically pissing himself laughing

From @BenSearsMSYS "One of the all-school events was the annual poetry reading contest. Note the “reading.” We weren’t writing our own. It’s what it sounds like. Every student picked a poem and practiced reciting." https://t.co/o2JeNJHGp0

@lawofruby @MaddowBlog If GA does not certify or report its 16 electoral votes does this change the # needed to win the election from 270 to 262 (538-16) then (522÷2)=261 then 261+1=262?

May the 4th be with you, 1871. First professional league game; Fort Wayne over Cleveland, 2-0.

@1dor Very well said, Dorothy! One of my Mom's favorites--mine too! At the end of Dorothy's rainbow, she discovered "There's no place like home."

[Richard C. Davis @RCollinsDavis]

@1dor I imagined "Welcome to the End of the Rainbow! Now grab your pick and shovel..."

“[A] comprehensive and often riveting account. Historian Achorn (Every Drop of Blood) offers sharp assessments of Lincoln’s rivals for the nomination . . . Achorn provides riveting details about the schemes and backroom deals made by Lincoln’s supporters and loads the account with dramatic set pieces. . . . The result is a dramatic and well-informed study of political sausage-making.”—Publisher’s Weekly (starred review)
