College baseball is the purest version of sport remaining in this country and it isn’t particularly close

[College Baseball News @CollegeBSBNews]

In his final collegiate at-bat, Georgia’s Kolby Branch hit a home run and his brother, Kyle, who plays for Oklahoma high-fived him during his trip around the bases.

Awesome moment for the Branch family. 🫡

The ending of Top Gun: Maverick (2022).

After everything that came before, it sticks the landing perfectly.

The emotion, the payoff, and that final sense of closure just hit exactly right.

Lots of guys can make impressive dunks, but only a chosen few can consistently get this funky during actual league action. They called Dominique Wilkins “The Human Highlight Film” for a reason, son.

#87 days until Notre Dame Football returns which makes it’s a great time to flashback to the 1987 season where Tim Brown returns not 1 but 2 kick returns for a TD against Michigan State!

It’s one of the most iconic plays/calls in NDFB History! Legendary Tony Roberts on the call!

[Cardinals Dude @Turn2Dude]

Jordan Walker is the 2nd Cardinal ever in history to have 17+ HR, 50+ RBI, and 10+ SB in the first 65 games of a season. The other Cardinal to ever do it? Rogers Hornsby in 1922. #stlcards

My coworker and I were talking about capitalism, and she said, “The Earth is a resort for like 500 rich people, and the rest of us are just the staff.”

Now I can't unsee it.

Per reports, members of Congress working on college sports legislation are confused by the recent consternation around athletes gambling. Placing bets on outcomes they influence is a primary source of income for many of them.

[Voices of WW2 @VoicesofWW2]

84 years ago today, a pilot running out of fuel made a decision that won the Pacific War. Most Americans have never heard his name.

June 4, 1942. Six months after Pearl Harbor, Japan's navy is undefeated. Four of the carriers that burned Pearl, Akagi, Kaga, Soryu, and Hiryu, are steaming toward Midway to finish off the US Pacific Fleet.

At 7:52 AM, Wade McClusky launches from USS Enterprise leading 32 Dauntless dive bombers. Here's the detail nobody mentions: McClusky is a fighter pilot. He'd been given the air group weeks earlier and had barely flown a dive bomber in combat. Now he's leading every SBD the Enterprise has at the most important target in the Pacific.

9:20 AM. He arrives at the intercept point where the Japanese fleet is supposed to be.

Empty ocean. Nothing for miles.

The Japanese had turned. Nobody knew where. And now McClusky owns the worst math problem in naval aviation: his fuel is bleeding away, and every minute he keeps searching, he condemns more of his own pilots to ditch in open water where nobody will find them.

Doctrine is clear. Turn back.

McClusky keeps going. He works a search pattern, squeezing miles out of dying fuel tanks.

9:55 AM. Far below, a single Japanese destroyer is cutting a white scar across the ocean at flank speed. It's the Arashi, racing to rejoin the fleet after depth-charging the American submarine Nautilus. Think about that. A failed sub attack is about to give away the entire Japanese navy.

McClusky reads the wake like an arrow and follows it.

10:02 AM. The horizon fills with the entire Japanese strike force. Four carriers, their decks crammed with planes being refueled and rearmed. Fuel lines snaking everywhere. Bombs stacked in the open.

And here's the miracle: the sky above them is empty. Minutes earlier, American torpedo squadrons had attacked at sea level and been annihilated. Torpedo 8 lost all 15 planes. One survivor, Ensign George Gay, watched what came next while hiding under his seat cushion in the water. Those doomed pilots dragged every Japanese fighter down to the waves. The door upstairs was wide open.

10:22 AM. McClusky pushes over from 14,500 feet. Both squadrons follow him down onto Kaga. It's actually a mistake, doctrine said split the targets, but Lt. Dick Best catches it mid-dive, pulls out with two wingmen, and goes after Akagi alone. His single bomb pierces the flight deck into the packed hangar. It's enough.

By 10:28, Kaga, Akagi, and Soryu, the third hit simultaneously by Yorktown's bombers, are floating infernos. Six minutes. Three carriers that attacked Pearl Harbor, gone. Hiryu follows them to the bottom that evening.

The cost of McClusky's gamble was real. Many Enterprise bombers never made it home, some shot down, others swallowed by the sea when their tanks ran dry. McClusky himself was jumped by two Zeros on the way out, took five bullets through his shoulder, and still flew his shot-up Dauntless back to the Enterprise.

Admiral Nimitz said McClusky's decision "decided the fate of our carrier task force and our forces at Midway." Japan never won another major battle.

One borrowed pilot. One destroyer's wake. One choice to keep flying when every gauge said go home.

[Augie Nash @AugieNash]

Perhaps the most underappreciated pitcher in Cardinals history.

Forshie tossed two no-hitters, no other Cardinals pitcher before or after has achieved this.
