Probably the best NL team of the Fifties--the Brooklyn Dodgers (not the Cubs).

With more home runs (326) and RBI (1,031) than any other player in the 1950s, the Duke of Flatbush was baseball royalty.

Hall of Famer and @Dodgers icon Duke Snider was born 100 years ago today.

The number of firefighter deaths this summer battling wildfires on land and in the air may exceed the number of American deaths in the Iran wars.

It's only a touchdown if you do it in a game. This is practice.

Back to Ryne. I miss this guy.

@TehranTimes79 So is it correct to assume that after the initial 60-day period Iran will begin to collect fees or charges for vessels wishing to use this international waterway? These fees will ultimately impact oil and gas prices.

@fox32news It would be interesting to learn how much $ this winning woman has spent on lottery tickets from the game's beginning. The win is big but how about a story saying how much Jane Blow has spent on the lottery; maybe comparing that with how much would be earned with savings deposits

When Ernie Banks joined the 500-home run club #OTD in 1970, he became only the ninth player to reach that magic number – and the first to do it in @Cubs pinstripes. https://t.co/2DQVGZ967D

@AP If the river was "crocodile infested" as reported, how did the rescuers know which of the many crocodiles in the river to anesthetize, etc. ? This story may be a lot of croc.

@AJENews Hezbollah is a major player in the conflict; to think a ceasefire in the region is possible is wishful thinking. Lebanon does not control Hezbollah, and Israel is warring with H.

#OTD in 2015, Orestes “Minnie” Miñoso passed away at the age of 91. I really wish he could have lived to see his election to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Or better yet, I wish he was elected sooner. Here’s an in-progress painting of him at Yankee Stadium in mid-June of 1955.

The line drive homer into the left field bleachers of Wrigley Field was Big Ern's signature event.

[National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum ⚾ @baseballhall]

Ernie Banks’ boundless optimism, along with his powerful swing, made him a perfect fit for the Friendly Confines of Wrigley Field.

The legendary Mr. Cub was born #OTD in 1931.

When the @Cubs acquired Ryne Sandberg #OTD in 1982, the future of Wrigley Field baseball was changed in ways Chicago fans could have never imagined. https://t.co/VaEBUugDfW

Protesters: do not bring your suv or auto into a protest area or ICE operations area. It will be viewed as a weapon and bad things may happen.
