Candlestick Park, 1965, Drysdale vs. Marichal.

Best manager of his era, changed KC and St. Louis franchises, changed way game was played.

Prayers up for my friend and a terrific pro in the booth.

My dad is buried in the same cemetery as Jim Valvano (and Lorenzo Charles). Every time I come see Dad, I swing by Jimmy V’s headstone for a second.

I’m not the only one today.

We’ll see promos with Lo Charles and Valvano this week and I love it. But this is also 50th anniversary of the David Thompson Wolfpack. DJ Burns bringing some karma to Glendale.

You’ve got Duke winning the whole thing, right?

One of our ceremonial first pitches on Opening Day was thrown by Paul Contreras.

Paul tackled one of the shooters at the tragic mass shooting in Kansas City during the Chiefs Championship parade. Thank you Paul for your heroic efforts that day.
