Today in 1987, with the Pistons up 107-106 and in possession of the ball in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals, Larry Bird steals the inbounds pass and hits Dennis Johnson for the game-winner. It remains a thing of absolute beauty.

Walter Cronkite's final sign-off as CBS Evening News anchor:

After almost two decades of meeting Americans in their living rooms every evening, Walter Cronkite delivered his last broadcast on Friday, March 6th, 1981.

He opened with characteristic understatement:

"This is my last broadcast as the anchor man of the CBS Evening News. For me, it's a moment for which I long have planned, but which nevertheless comes with some sadness. For almost two decades, after all, we've been meeting like this in the evenings, and I'll miss that."

But Cronkite wasn't one for sentimentality.

He immediately pushed back against those treating his departure as monumental:

"But those who have made anything of this departure, I'm afraid, have made too much. This is but a transition, a passing of the baton."

He framed his exit not as the end of an era, but as a continuation of something larger than himself. He pointed to Doug Edwards, who came before him, and Dan Rather, who would follow, describing both as great broadcasters.

Then came the line that captured his entire philosophy on the work:

"The person who sits here is but the most conspicuous member of a superb team of journalists, writers, reporters, editors, producers, and none of that will change."

The anchor chair gets the spotlight.

But the news, Cronkite reminded viewers, is built by a team.

He also made clear he wasn't disappearing:

"I'm not even going away. I'll be back from time to time with special news reports and documentaries and beginning in June every week with our science program, Universe. Old anchormen, you see, don't fade away. They just keep coming back for more."

And then, for the final time in that chair, his signature sign-off:

"And that's the way it is. Friday, March 6th, 1981. I'll be away on assignment and Dan Rather will be sitting in here for the next few years. Good night."

Joey Votto hasn't spent retirement looking back at baseball.

He's earned a sushi chef accreditation in Japan. Became a certified yoga instructor in Spain. Surfed in Ireland. And more.

Along the way, he says, “it helped my well-being.”

I know "Major League" is just a movie, but the line "I got a hunch he's due" is the kind of managing baseball needs again.
