Feel great for Toronto fans while being heartbroken for Mariners ones. That Springer home run was an all time electric playoff moment. So much emotion.

Ada's book is wonderful. Funny and fascinating and sharp. Plus...it's got a killer diagram at the front showing the relationships between Renaissance Italian families. Ask me how I know!
