Jim Valvano taught us to enjoy life and to cherish every moment.

As we continue this journey, we’re reminded that the Stanley Cup Final is about more than hockey. It’s about people, purpose, sacrifice, and appreciating the moments that bring us together.

Clemens led all of baseball in WAR that year. Rickey Henderson hit 33 doubles, 28 homers, batted .325 and swiped 65 bags. And he didn’t have a WAR as high as Clemens’ 10.1 (!) that year. Watching it as a teenager, it was a travesty. Hell, Welch’s own teammate Dave Stewart was more deserving

OPS is the most important offensive metric in baseball and I will fight the entire analytics torch wielding mob over it

[BaseballHistoryNut @nut_history]

What unpopular baseball opinion as you feeling like this?

[Jason Barron @TriangleLandUse]

@krystynakrez Reason 4,627,813 to change the name of the team to Raleigh/NC. I’d bet my state income tax dollars on very little fan interest coming from the lesser Carolina

@LitcherDavid Is OBP a useless stat?

[Jason Barron @TriangleLandUse]

@LitcherDavid How is the combination of OBP and slugging percentage a useless stat? Getting on base remains the single most important element of scoring runs in baseball. Slugging measures how well you advance those runners with the bat.

[Jason Barron @TriangleLandUse]

@nut_history Bob Welch would approve of your metric, that’s for sure, much to the continued chagrin of the much more deserving Roger Clemens that year. And I was careful to note that OPS is the most important offensive metric…

Charlotte and Raleigh have had their differences, but when it really mattered, they've always come together.

In the late 80's when the NBA was looking to expand, the Raleigh leadership was extremely vocal in their support of Charlotte to win the franchise that eventually became the Hornets.

Last week, @andrew_dunn's piece in the @CharlotteObser and the @newsobserver suggested that the Queen City is ready to return the favor with MLB.

Charlotte, Durham, every town and every city in this state, we've put in the work here in Raleigh for the past 8 years, building this bid with a dream of bringing home an MLB team.

We've gone from afterthought to potential front-runner.

Now, we need everyone in North Carolina to join us and do what they said couldn't be done...

Bring #MLB2NC together as one united state!

As a resident of the Glenwood/Brooklyn neighborhood, I am thrilled with this result and cannot wait for this new addition to the ‘hood!

[Triangle Business Journal @TriangleBIZJrnl]

A potential two-tower project in Downtown Raleigh can now move forward. https://t.co/Bhw0bRUdq3

[Jason Barron @TriangleLandUse]

Supply matters. Most.

[Jonathan Berk @berkie1]

"[Researchers found] new housing freed up older, cheaper apartments, which, in turn, became occupied by people leaving behind still-cheaper homes elsewhere in the city, and so on... The paper estimates the tower’s 512 units created at least 557 vacancies across the city."

Yes, that city doesn’t yet have enough soulless professional sports franchises that their Patagonia wearing fans could not care less about
