Baseball was better with the Montreal Expos. There is no counterargument.

@history_dame 1980’s metal concerts on the floor with no chairs. It was pure insanity in those pits. 🤘

Sources: @GCU_Baseball head coach Steve Bieser is expected to bring at least two of his assistants to #GCU with him -- Ryan Kramer on the pitching side of things, and Tyler Packanik as the lead recruiter, I'm told. Hitting coach is TBD.

Thank you God for the courage these boys showed this day 82 years ago. I watch this every June 6th and just remember their sacrifices. The greatest generation indeed.

The first wave is closing on Omaha Beach. This is why, as a Brit, I tell my American son always to hold his head high. Most of the men in this photo will be killed or wounded in the next couple of hours. My freedom is not free. See more on Substack: https://t.co/EEg00P06y6

@robertmacleodz @Rightanglenews I played so many nights down on the old Mill Ave in the 1990’s. Long Wongs, Balboa Cafe, Gibsons, etc. The Mill Ave Merchants killed it all with greed and wanting to “remove” the bad element. They destroyed a thriving music scene. Such a shame.
