@AndyDirks12 Hi Andy. I sent you a DM last week asking if you would be willing to be interviewed by me for your official biography on the Society of American Baseball Research. Please respond when you get a chance. Thanks!

@AndyDirks12 Hi Andy. I would like to write your bio for the SABR Biography Project. Would you be willing to do a phone interview with me for this project? It would take about an hour. If you do a Google search for SABR Rob Dibble you can read my most recently published bio.

[David Bilmes @dbilmes]

@robdibble49 The story is for the Biography Project of the Society of American Baseball Research. Rico can vouch for me. He was happy with the bio I wrote on him. The goal is to have a bio published on every former MLBer. https://t.co/sbMYJNT0BG

@robdibble49 Hi Rob. I have been assigned to write your official biography for the Society of American Baseball Research. I would love to be able to interview you (by phone) for the story. Please let me know if we can make this work.

@robdibble49 Hi Rod. I am a member of the Bio Committee of the Society of American Baseball Research. Would you be willing to be interviewed by me for your official SABR Biography. I noted you don't have one yet and I'd like to rectify that!

[David Bilmes @dbilmes]

@robdibble49 Hi Rod. I am writing a bio of you for SABR and am hoping you would agree to a phone interview. I just wrote this one on Rico Brogna and he was pleased with how it came out. https://t.co/sbMYJNT0BG

@TennisPodcast I’ve been coming to Open for decades. Crowds have become too overwhelming. Just crossing the grounds is an ordeal. Tennis is still great but the experience is less enjoyable. On first two days even difficult to get to matches on outside courts.

@jloeb308 Is it because there are fewer WTA events most weeks?

@TennisPodcast Eubanks!

@AndrewMarchand There is none. It's all about $$$

@jeffjacobs123 We’ll miss your stories, but enjoy having time for yourself.

This Admin has proven it will always double down at the expense of its citizens.

It’s not about doing right, it’s about being right (no matter how wrong they are).

The end result may not be smaller libraries, it could be none at all. https://t.co/kw57FYlkxe

“We are angry. We are frustrated. We are insulted; our degree, required by the state, means less than one parent’s right to choose. They will now mandate what is selected based on their biased personal beliefs, and not our professional degrees.” https://t.co/45cSJWTYp6

@TennisPodcast To follow up on your most recent podcast, some Americans wanted to rename French Fries "Freedom Fries" after France didn't support the decision by the US to invade Iraq. Fortunately, it never caught on, although they were renamed for a few years in Congress.

@BeschlossDC It must be God’s will

[David Bilmes @dbilmes]

@BeschlossDC No. And I never learned about it in college either.

@Noahrubin33 The NBA stars get their big bucks regardless of their playoff performance. The tennis players literally can't afford to take a day off.
