Milwaukee, 44 years ago today
“The Brewers won the American League Pennant, joining the 79th World Series against the National League's St. Louis Cardinals. The Brewers became the first team ever to win the League Championship Series after being down 0-2.” —@WisHistory
I'll bet you anything Levering's call - "THE BREWERS WIN THE PENNANT! OH MY GOD, THE BREWERS WIN THE PENNANT!" - is a tribute to Uecker's call in "Major League."
@GBPlitz B&O Museum. It’s the first rail road in the US. Lots of early American history. Probably have to Uber there from the harbor but you can see the harbor from the high ground it’s on.
Where is your pick for the next “great base”
Rules:
1. Min 1 hour from major metro area
2. Only has Sam’s or COSTCO not both
3. 30 min any major interstate
4. Must have a good & a bad Walmart
What you got?
@Asst_to_the_RM Iron Mountain. All ready for cold weather, mosquitoes as big as eagles, interesting tasting drinking water, forests thick enough to lose whole platoons, great fishing and hunting opportunities. Perfect Army/Marine joint base
The fact that playoffs DONT start with a guy on 2nd in extra innings tells you how stupid it is they do it in regular season games. Please change it back
Today is the first day since 2001 that US troops have not been deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan.
It's barely a headline. There's an argument to be made that today is the true end of the GWOT.
Very sorry to hear of the passing of @PGDougSchneider. His #ScannerSquawk posts here on Twitter were legendary. More than that, he was such a warm hearted man who I had the pleasure of meeting a few times. Thank you @RichRymanPG for sharing his story. https://t.co/3T3VCrfVgc
