Baseball has enjoyed successful season on just about all fronts in NL. I was really pressed with female baseball. They just continue to improve so much all the time. Kudos to growth of female baseball in NL. @NLGirlsBaseball @BaseballNL @baseballcanada @MarkHealyNL @Sportsnet

ALT A three-panel comic; the first panel displays a flaming monster who says, “I am Zorkon, flayer of worlds, scourge of galaxies, and you will tremble at my name.” In the second panel, someone tells the monster, “You’re weird.” In the third, the monster, stomping and pouting, exclaims, “I’m NOT weird!”

I met Bob Cole on May 13, 2014.
Game 7, Rangers-Penguins.
I introduced myself after the skate, said how often I’d watched him on CBC from Michigan. I was starstruck, to be honest, and asked the most reflexive question that came to mind.
“What do you think will happen tonight?”
He smiled. I think he could tell I was nervous.
“Well,” he intoned, “that’s what we’re here to find out.”
In that simple sentence was the essence of his greatness: Bob wasn’t concerned with what could or should happen. His calls were completely in the moment — timing impeccable, voice rising with the action. He gave us the gift of experiencing the scenes as he did. Every game is a present, to be unwrapped with joy. The broadcast should be spontaneous, too. I cherish that wisdom, because it is so pure, and because of the man who shared it.

Dickey Betts, on writing “Ramblin’ Man”:
In 1969, my friend Kenny “asked me how I was doing with my music & said, ‘I bet you're just tryin' to make a livin' & doin' the best you can.’ I liked how that sounded and carried the line around in my head for about three years.”
