I miss taking on field batting practice and shagging in the outfield.
There should be some place in every city where we can pay a monthly membership to take live BP after getting off work.
I don’t want a gym membership, I want an open field where I can hawk down flyballs
On this date in 1980 a miracle happened…the United States hockey team defeated the Soviet Union. Al Michaels and Ken Dryden were brilliant on the call.
The hug that saved a life In 1995, the twins, Kyrie and Brielle Jackson, were born 12 weeks premature, each weighing only about 2 pounds. They were placed in separate incubators. One twin was not expected to survive. She went into critical condition. Her heart rate was rising while her oxygen level was dropping significantly. They were about to lose her. It was then that one nurse, Gale Kasparian, went against the hospital rules and standard procedure, putting the healthy twin next to her struggling sister in the same incubator. This decision turned out to be life-saving. Once the twins were close to each other, the struggling sister (Brielle) snuggled up to the healthy sister (Kyrie) who put her arms around Brielle. Almost immediately after, Brielle's vital signs started stabilizing. Her heart rate and oxygen levels normalized. Both twin sisters eventually survived and grew into strong young women. The picture below came to be known as the rescuing hug and would change a part of our understanding of medicine.
Hugging that is coming from the heart is proven to have calming and healing effects. Maybe there is someone in your life that can use a warm and heartfelt hug right now.
B-17 Flying Fortress! Seeing the inside of this made me appreciate what those men went through even more. Amazing piece of history I’m happy I could see first hand.
