Halloween displays in Bennington Heights #Toronto

ghosts, black cats, pumpkins of many sizes, and three witches with glowing eyes on a hillside on Heath St East

I've been watching baseball since the Blue Jays were birthed and only now learned that a "Bullpen Game" means you put the entire Bullpen on the mound at the same time. How that doesn't lead to more pitcher head injuries, I don't know but, hey, it worked.

Thing I just learned. “Lede” as in “bury the lede” is a deliberate misspelling of “lead”. It’s part of a lexicon of misspellings used for annotations by journalists and subs so that notes on copy are removed, rather than included in the body of the text by accident. Others include “dek” and “hed”.
