New @SFGiants manager Tony Vitello is following in the footsteps of Hugo Bezdek, the football and baseball coach at Oregon, who took over the Pirates from 1917 to 1919.
He’s also the only MLB manager to be a head coach in the NFL.

Hey, @marksimon.bsky.social... Someone I know is interested in SIS as a solution provider. Can you DM me so that I can ask a couple of questions before I turn this over to him?
Thanks!

I rarely use #YouTube - but today I wanted to watch a preview of the KU Football team’s new stadium, “The Booth” - which is awesome, by the way.
The CRAP that was in the queue after I watched the video I chose - all nasty confrontational junk.
And so I return to not using YouTube. Good riddance.

Billy Williams homered in the 2nd off Tom Seaver at Wrigley Field in Sept. 1972. The one I remember more was Burt Hooton’s grand slam off Seaver in the 3rd, sending Seaver to the showers. Jose Cardenal added two HRs and Dave Rosello hit one in an 18-5 win.
Willie Mays played 1B for the Mets.

I sold a TV antenna to Walter Payton (my childhood hero).
He came in the store as we were closing. Had to check in back for one as there were none on the shelf. Couldn’t find them in storage, so I said a prayer and went back for one quick look and saw a box leaning against the wall. God exists.

If you use online text with support, assume that person is working multiple chats concurrently.
A website failed requiring me to use their support to place an order. It took 45 minutes to complete that order and cost me a delivery day as the order couldn’t get completed by the 2pm deadline.
Ugh.
