Thanks to the @HawksHamburg for hosting us at their charming old barn. Also thanks to my son and his rascal friends. Proud of this one!

My eyes were wet from start to finish. I thought of being little in a big world & watching my son's first tries at this mad game. ESPN's Open to the NHL season is beautiful. I didn't expect to cry today-this is stunning. There's nothing like this sport. We at ESPN love the sport as you do. ❤️ Enjoy.

As we approach the 25th anniversary of 9/11, @E60 wanted to tell the story of one of the heroes who was killed that day. His name is Michael Cammarata--and his number 11 is the only number retired by the Little League World Series. His story, beautifully told by director @G_Pfisterer12, premieres tonight at 9 PM ET on ESPN.

As a New Yorker and a father, I would be lying if I said working on this story didn't hit me emotionally in a very deep way.

As the 25th anniversary of 9/11 approaches, it couldn't be more important to hear the stories of heroes such as Michael Cammarata.

[E60 @E60]

Since 1947, the Little League World Series has had more than 11,000 players take the field. Only one has ever had their number retired.

E60’s ‘Living On: The Michael Cammarata Story’ premieres on Wednesday August 19 at 9 PM/ET on @ESPN, streaming after on the ESPN app

[Peabody Awards @PeabodyAwards]

✨Someone has to be the first, but former baseball player @jabbottum31 was much more than that. Born without a right hand, Abbott’s rise to @MLB was a phenomenal achievement. The highlight of his career—and the focus of this documentary—came on September 4, 1993, when Abbott, pitching for the @Yankees, threw a no-hitter against the Cleveland Indians—a day that became legendary for all who were in attendance and for those watching or listening from home.

🏆For its deeply detailed, deeply human look at what Jim Abbott means to baseball and beyond, Southpaw—The Life and Legacy of Jim Abbott is a #PeabodyWinner. @JeremySchaap https://t.co/ddHgdNXFVz

From the announcement:

Southpaw: The Life and Legacy of Jim Abbott (ESPN)
Jim Abbott, born without a right hand, defied the odds to become a celebrated baseball pitcher, achieving fame in the Major Leagues and notably pitching a no-hitter for the New York Yankees in 1993. His journey, marked by struggles with being a reluctant role model, continues to inspire and resonate with disabled and limb-different individuals worldwide, making "Southpaw" a powerful narrative about ingenuity and identity.
