Jim Thorpe won gold medals in the pentathlon and decathlon at the 1912 Olympics in mismatched shoes of different sizes he fished out of a goddamn trash can after his shit got stolen. That, my friends, is some legendary old school American badassery.

Two women attempted to assassinate Gerald Ford with handguns a mere 17 days apart in September of 1975. Weeks later, in a moment of somber reflection, the president would observe “Those hoes tried to blast me.”

Why is this painting worth $450 million?

Jimi Hendrix was once asked what it was like being the world’s greatest guitar player.
He replied, “I don’t know, go ask Roy Clark”.

I just read an article that said Paul Simon “has a strong claim as America’s greatest living songwriter.” Look, I like Paul Simon. But unless Bob Dylan fucking died today and I don’t know about it, you can take that bullshit elsewhere.

“It was all I lived for, to play baseball.”

Mickey Mantle debuted for the New York Yankees #OTD in 1951, beginning his Hall of Fame career. Exactly two years later, he hit a home run estimated to have traveled an astounding 565 feet. ow.ly/ce4B50Ri3Wx

In 1934, Babe Ruth's 700th home run sailed 500 feet out of Detroit's stadium. It was retrieved by 17-year-old Lenny Bielski. Ruth gave him $20 and autographed the $20 bill. Bielski still had the $20 bill when he died in 1977. (photo by the Detroit Press)

Beautiful anecdote from Bernie Bernie Miklasz that tells you everything you need to know about Dorrel Norman Elvert Herzog. #STLCards #ForTheLou #Whitey scoopswithdannymac.com/bernie-on-the-…

The foundation upon which Saturday Night Live was built.

The moment that changed a franchise and a city. Garry Templeton’s outburst at the crowd in 1981 was followed immediately by Whitey Herzog yanking him off the field, and secured his ticket out of town. Whitey traded him for a young shortstop named Ozzie Smith. #STLCards #ForTheLou

Super Sky Point to “The White Rat” Whitey Herzog, who presided over the most exciting brand of baseball of my childhood - hell, my entire life. Speed, speed, more speed, defense, pitching, and a few Jack Clark three-run homers on plastic grass. And it was simply glorious. #RIP

I’m amazed that 4-way stops work. You’ve got one motherfucker sitting there texting, another guy’s eating a taco with a 32-ounce Coke between his knees, the next guy thinks the goddamn Earth is flat, and one’s doing her makeup in the mirror. In no way should this process succeed.

Climb to glory 🪖
