Tomorrow is the 77th anniversary of the Steve Gromek/Larry Doby photo from the 1948 World Series. I wrote about it today--its importance in "Our Team" and how a research discovery almost sunk the climax of my book. Enjoy. substack.com/home/post/p-...

The unofficial motto at the BG News was “Skip it!” I once told the late, great Joe Boyle that I felt like the only person there who cared about his grades. “Uh, you WERE the only person there who cared about his grades,” he said.

Shocked, just shocked, by this important scoop on front page of today's NYT. /s/

Based on report that came out ... nine months ago

And behavior long predating that

("Skip a class? Perish the thought!!" Says anyone who ever worked on a college newspaper, which covers a lot of people in the media.)

Ohio has a Versailles, a Russia and a Milan (the birthplace of Thomas Edison, in fact!).

This is your periodic reminder that if there's a town in Ohio with the name of a foreign city or country, it's NEVER pronounced the same way as the foreign city or country.

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

Which is surprising because unlike the Browns, they've scored at least 20 points in a game this year.

If it's any consolation, 50 looms, and it doesn't bother me a bit. Of course, I've still got a ways to go. (I'm 48 now.)

I dig. I had also sustained some, ah, reversals of fortune going into my 40th (pre-COVID; what a drag it is getting old). I wouldn't say I've made peace with it, or that age confers any kind of wisdom, but I'm too tired for it to bother me now. Maybe that's the best you can hope for.

The Yankees and Red Sox played so many five-hour games I thought it was decreed by law.

Disney's Headless Horseman scared the living shit out of 9-year-old me. I have to ask: How's impending 40 treating you? Because I gotta tell you, it really bothered me. (I realized I couldn't trade on my potential anymore, and wasn't happy with what I'd accomplished.)

True story: The woman in line in front of me to see "Titanic" said, "This isn't a sad movie, is it? I hope this isn't a sad movie." My friends had to restrain me.
