Mookie Betts just won the 2025 Roberto Clemente award, the most prestigious award in all of MLB.
The Roberto Clemente Award is given annually to the player who best represents baseball through extraordinary character, community involvement, and positive contributions, both on and off the field.

Pound for pound, Mookie is one of the greatest baseball players who ever lived.
Mookie Betts and Teoscar Hernandez were born a week apart.
Imagine Teoscar Hernandez turning himself into a gold glove shortstop this year.

We have just been informed that the reason none of the surgeries have started is because the climate control in the OR is having issues. We are now waiting for the humidity to decrease.

An hour later, the status board says that he’s still in pre-op. So is everyone else currently on the board. I guess the surgeons are still eating their breakfast.

Jared 'Rook' Isaacman's nomination for NASA Administrator is being withdrawn. This is bad news for NASA but maybe a good thing for Jared himself though, since being NASA head right now is a bit of a Kobayashi Maru scenario. Rumour is he will be replaced by someone more gungho about slashing NASA

Saw yesterday that the Fascist in Chief was giving the commencement address next month at the school my kids are attending.
Just now was reminded that Hank Green is scheduled to do the one for my alma mater.
Going to have to take a hard look at some of my life choices.
