Super Sky Point to Dave Parker. Anyone who’s followed me for a while knows how I feel about the man. His throws in the 1979 All-Star Game burned an impression into my 7-year-old brain that’s endured for nearly a half-century now. He was the first player I ever saw wear an earring, a pillbox hat-wearing, swashbuckling urban badass who wielded heavy lumber like a toothpick and made big league pitchers weak in the knees. And that arm? It was a nuclear missile launcher.
I’m sad he won’t be there physically to be enshrined in Cooperstown in less than a month. But I’m happy he passed secure at last in the knowledge he will forever reside among baseball’s immortals. Have your lighter handy, St. Peter, because smoking one with the Cobra will be a privilege. #RIP
Cooperstown is now flavor country, motherfucker! CONGRATULATIONS to Dave Parker and to Dick Allen in heaven. I’ve said it many, many times on this platform. Today is sweet justice for two sweet bastards. You earned it, gentlemen.
The Steelers are named after the mid-century heroes who forged the steel that built the tanks & ships used to defeat the Nazi scourge.
The Ravens are named after a poem written by a Boston native who married his 13-yr-old cousin, moved to Baltimore, got drunk & died.

Since apparently hate towards Puerto Rico is being spewed on stage at MSG, just going to post the words of a great Puerto Rican.
What a difference between this great man and ugly people full of hatred.
Downtown. 414 Grant Street - City County Building. Real Time Crime Center reports in that there is an orderly protest of about 15 people with signs asking Bob Nutting to sell the team.
A reminder:
It was Jared Kushner and the Trump administration who gave @washingtonpost writer Jamal Khashoggi to the Saudis, dismembered with a bone saw and liquefied in sulfuric acid.
But in a contest between Harris and Trump, Jeff Bezos can't make an endorsement.
