watching #TheLastDance & seeing MJ cry for his Dad after winning the ‘96 @NBA Championship on Fathers Day broke my heart. It also made this week a little harder in dealing with missing the old man😔
Only one pitcher in big league history has at least 200 wins and 150 saves… and his birthday is today.
Help us wish John Smoltz a happy 59th birthday! 🎉
It feels like it happened overnight, but after decades in the fashion wilderness, jean shorts are back. Every teenage boy in Nashville is wearing them, including my sons. Huge moment for Florida Gator fans everywhere. It’s your time.
On this day in 1999, Marshall McDougall put together arguably the greatest individual game in baseball history 🤯
The Florida State slugger went 7-for-7 with:
⚾ 6 HR
⚾ 16 RBI
⚾ 25 total bases
All NCAA single-game records.
After singling in his first at-bat against Maryland, McDougall homered in his next SIX plate appearances, completing a “home run cycle” with a solo shot, 2-run HR, 3-run HR and grand slam in a 26-2 win.
"In 1982, when the Atlanta Braves opened the season with 13 wins, owner Ted Turner
removed Chief Noc-A-Homa's Teepee to sell more seats.
The Braves promptly lost 19 of their next 21 games, and fell to second place.
Ted Turner told team management to put Chief Noc-A-Homa's Teepee back up and the Braves went on to win the National League West.
"The general public was saying it was because we took the tepee down that we lost.
There were people who came to the stadium wearing tepees on top of their head, and it was the general public’s outcry that finally caused Ted Turner to put the tepee back up."

Chief Noc-A-Homa was making $60 per week!!
From 1969 to 1985, Levi Walker played the role of the Atlanta Braves legendary mascot.
"For years, I averaged 240 days per year visiting schools, hospitals and children who were struggling with health issues.
That was the best part to encourage some of these children going through difficult times and see their smiling faces."
@FalconsRISE@AtlantaFalcons Just another thing to add to the life long list of how the @AtlantaFalcons disappointed their fans. But as usual we’ll be supporting the team wearing practice jerseys in games & wishing for a Super Bowl😒😩😢
