Terry Francona on the line drive that hit Chase Burns:

“I ask him, ‘hey man, please tell me you have a cup on?’ and he said no, I was like, ‘Chase, I don’t even watch a game without wearing a cup.’”

@travisakers @stuartenyt The brand never recovered from the “drink Schlitz or I’ll kill you” campaign. https://t.co/icVnBJFWAI

Both takes miss a basic reality: Subscriptions never paid for newspapers. Ads and classifieds did. That’s why papers were so cheap.
It wasn’t bias that broke the business model—it was Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace and companies realizing they could reach consumers directly.

A career of service and purpose and always to her beloved Cleveland. Rest in peace Congresswoman Mary Rose Oakar.

Sad to hear about the passing of Sam, a sharp debater, passionate activist and kind family man.

Today is Juneteenth, a day to celebrate & commemorate the emancipation of the last enslaved people in the United States. This day also reminds us of the injustice in our nation's history & the work we are all blessed & obliged to do to build a strong and equitable democracy that serves all Americans

View of large crowd at Cleveland's #hands-off protest outside the West Side Market. Friendly desk clerk at nearby high rise let me take advantage of building's good view.

Cleveland City Council is set to vote on a new political map that will cut two seats and redraw ward boundaries.

Meanwhile the @LWVGrCleveland and other critics of the new map are mounting a last-ditch effort to send council back to the drawing board.

[CitizensNotPoliticians @CitizenMapsOH]

On November 5, Ohioans are uniting behind Issue 1 for the future of our state. Will we allow politicians to continue manipulating our elections, or will we take back power and put it where it belongs: with the citizens?

We're voting YES on Issue 1 to ban gerrymandering in Ohio.

[League of Women Voters of Ohio @lwvohio]

Too early to think about making a plan to vote? Absolutely not- bookmark these dates now. More details at https://t.co/kzewDlboOb

Ignore the lies -- Issue 1 ends gerrymandering, a nice word for Statehouse cheating:

[FairDistrictsOhio @OhFairDistricts]

Ohio’s congressional districts are among the most blatantly gerrymandered maps in the nation
That’s why the @CitizenMapsOH amendment on the Nov. 5 ballot is so important. It would take Old Gerrymander out of the hands of politicians. At last

At various times during that decade, Mileti-controlled groups owned the Indians, Cavaliers, Barons and Crusaders hockey teams, two arenas and the biggest radio station in town. 3/3

From 2019 by Brent Larkin:
In the 1970s, Nick Mileti was the biggest name in town.

He lacked the humor and outgoing personality of an Art Modell, the commanding presence of a George Steinbrenner, the business brilliance of a Dick Jacobs and the billions of a Dan Gilbert. 1/3

[Michael Baron @baronadv1]

And almost everything Mileti did was with other people’s money.
Nevertheless, consider the enormity of this: 2/3

[FairDistrictsOhio @OhFairDistricts]

Ohioans will again vote on redistricting reform
"This certification is a historic step towards restoring fairness in Ohio's electoral process," said retired Ohio Supreme Court Chief Justice Maureen O'Connor, one of the campaign's most prominent leaders.
