I can relate to the two roof toppers who climbed all the way to the top of the Empire State Building. I went up four rungs of my ladder to change a light bulb! #rooftopping #climbers #NYC

You’re going to need more than a zone defense to defend against this dangerous bat. Congrats to @FedkoZone and the Fedko family.

@SBJ During most of the 1960s, the Pirates started home games at 8:15 pm. They shifted to 8:05 pm starts in the late ‘60s. (This while playing in Forbes Field, which had no on-site parking and was difficult to get to and leave.)

A cranky old man might ask: If “rockets are hard,” how come NASA could send two monkeys into space nearly 70 years ago for $10,000? #NASA #BlueOrigin

A Blue Origin rocket exploded on the launch tower in a fiery blast during a test of its engines on Thursday night, the company said. ABC News' @VictorOquendo reports.

The greatest game ever pitched in @MLB history was 67 years ago today. Not by Warren Spahn or Sandy Koufax or Early Wynn. But by unassuming @Pirates LHP Harvey Haddix, who was perfect - plus 3. Nobody's come closing to matching it. Read all about it on my Substack:

No matter how good Paul Skenes becomes, he'll never pitch the greatest game in Pittsburgh Pirates history. Why? Because Harvey Haddix did 67 years ago this week, and his performance will never be matched. Read about it (for free) on my Substack account. #Pirates @Pirates @MLB #MLB #HarveyHaddix #perfectgame

For the record, Dusty Wathan’s official MLB managerial record remains 0-0 despite filling in Sat for Don Mattingly. Numerous managers over the years missed games for weddings, graduations, illness, etc. but they remain the manager of record. A replacement manager gets credit for W/L only when officially appointed interim or permanent manager following a firing, resignation or leave of absence. #Phillies #Pirates @Phillies #ESPN

Sistersville (https://t.co/VgYVXihwPp.) High School, one of the first https://t.co/VgYVXihwPp. schools to field football and basketball teams, and one of the most successful, closed 33 years ago. But not after leaving an envious athletic footprint that's outlined in detail on https://t.co/ZgUxbYASKg. Have a look! #sistersvilletigers

$700 million contracts? In the lifetime of many older fans, pro athletes had four- and five-figure contracts. No medical. Terrible work conditions. The @Lakers once played 8 games in 8 nights in five cities! Read about it in my Substack ...
