James Earl Jones performed an iconic rendition of the national anthem at the 1993 MLB All-Star Game 👏

The legendary actor memorably appeared in the baseball movies “Field of Dreams” and “The Sandlot.”

Outnumbered at least 6 to 1, the 1st Minnesota Volunteer Infantry suffered 82% casualties when they heroically charged headlong into enemy forces to shore up a gap in Union lines during the Battle of Gettysburg on this date in 1863.

The role these brave Minnesotans played in preserving the United States of America cannot be overstated.

General Winfield Scott Hancock said that "no soldiers on any field, in this or any other country ever displayed grander heroism," and insisted that "there is no more gallant deed recorded in history."

In a speech in Cannon Falls, MN on the Fourth of July 1928, President Calvin Coolidge said these men's heroism that day entitled them to the rank of "saviors of their country."

The next day, the survivors from the 1st Minnesota helped repel Pickett's Charge and lost another 17 killed and wounded.

Minnesota is in possession of a blood-stained, bullet-pierced Virginia battle flag captured July 3rd.

Virginia has been asking for it back for over 100 years.

Governor Jesse Ventura's response at the White House in 2000: “Why? I mean, we won. … We took it. That makes it our heritage.”

Tarik Skubal on behavior of the baseball:

“You can go down whatever conspiracy theory you want to go down. Manipulation of balls. Whatever. And you’ll probably get nowhere, because there’s no accountability on that side of adjusting baseballs.”

American HVAC worker shows that an old air conditioning unit is still running perfect on top of a home that was made in 1978

“Original to the home. 56 degrees coming out of this. They don't make them like they used to. 48 years and still going.”

America needs to make planned obsolescence illegal. Our modern products are being engineered to break after a set amount of years

We should not be buying things designed to break

Even The European Union has made stronger rules against planned obsolescence

Margaret, 90, had gotten outside twice before her son Keith installed cameras. He expected to find footage of the problem.
He found something else. Every single night for nine months their golden retriever Flynn had already been at the front door before Margaret reached the hallway.
Blocking. Redirecting. Taking her sleeve and guiding her back to bed. Thirty-seven documented nights. Not once had she made it outside. Margaret's neurologist watched the recording and said: "I have worked in memory care for twenty-three years. Flynn is performing structured redirection. He built every component of it on his own." Keith said: "He figured it out the first night."

“They have to move Skubal; there’s no way around it,” an AL executive said. “They will set that franchise back 10 years if they don’t. He’s gone at the end of the year regardless, and they can pull Major League assets back.” (via Mark Feinsand)

Quick comparison

Scott Harris came to Detroit after working under Farhan Zaidi in SF

Zaidi had one 100+ win season in 2021 and hovered around .500 the rest of the time before being fired

The Tigers 100 win season came late 2024 - mid 2025. Mediocre at best around it

Yzerman took Cossa over Wallstedt even though Wallstedt was the consensus #1 goalie in that draft.

Then the Wings didn’t like Cossa’a style and totally broke it down and rebuilt it and then they still didn’t like the result.

The guy never started a game in Detroit. Just a total failure by the organization on all levels.
