Huge news at The New York Times: After 63 years as the go-to rewrite man, lede-all maestro, and poetic obituary writer, the peerless Robert McFadden is retiring. Many times I have witnessed his artistry; the man is a legend. Great honor is due.

On WBC, John Smoltz said Ohtani exceeded Babe Ruth as a 2-way player. But Ohtani only started +10 games 2x. Ruth started +10 gms five times. In 1916 Ruth started 40 games, in 1917 he started 38 games & *completed* 35! In 1916-17 he won *47* gms.
Ruth played outfield, Ohtani DHs

@JeremyIKaufman Smoltz said Ohtani exceeded Babe Ruth as a 2-way player: "Ohtani's done it 3 seasons while Ruth did 2." But Ohtani only started +10 games 2x. Ruth started +10 gms five times. In 1916 Ruth started 40 games, in 1917 he started 38 games & *completed* 35!
In 1916-17 he won 47 gms.

Andre Iguodala, 39, is in #Warriors starting lineup. That means starters have a combined 19 championships: Curry, Klay, Dray, Iggy all have 4, Looney 3. And yet they'll probably still lose to Memphis, even though Memphis is without Ja, because Warriors don't play D on the road.

So many reasons to ban gas-powered leaf blowers: extreme noise, horrific pollution, health risks for those who use them. So I was thankful when I turned on Jeopardy for the first time in ages Weds evening and saw this: https://t.co/5M28gWHH2E
