When I go to Normandy and grab the sand of beaches, walk through hedgerows and peer up the cliffs, I will say a thank you to men who considered freedom from tyranny worth the price #dday75.
That day fear shook, put on boots, and a helmet and defiantly raced head first into Hell

Lou Gehrig discussed Babe Ruth's called shot on an NBC radio broadcast on October 6, 1932, only five days after the World Series game at Wrigley.
The recording then went unheard for roughly 88 years before author Dan Joseph surfaced it in 2020.
It is the only known audio of Gehrig discussing the called shot.
That combination of timing and rediscovery makes the recording unusually valuable evidence in one of baseball's oldest debates.

The National is fun–and sometimes profitable–for the younger generation but they’re also learning. @DeanofJacksons caught up with one family at the show >>> sportscollectorsdaily.com/th…
Randolph Mantooth was a legend. When Emergency! premiered in ‘72, there were 12 paramedic units in the US. Ambulances were basically hearses and a prayer. By 1977, 46 states had EMS laws. He lived the dream—he changed the world. RIP. RandolphMantooth #Emergency #EMS #FireService

LETA POWELL DRAKE was a Nebraskan celebrity interviewer who in her 1970's & 1980's pomp more often than not left her subjects staring wide-eyed in disbelief at what the fuck she’d just said. teapawt.net/drsditt/status/2045733…

High Noon never leaves me. Haunting. Gary Cooper’s steadiness. It doesn't comfort. It doesn’t reward virtue. It reveals its cost. Will Kane stands scared, alone, anchored. Not because it’s easy. Because it’s right. Tick tick #HighMoon #character #garycooper – at Nine Mile, IN

I was 10. Life screeched to a halt that day. A junkyard dog in pinstripes—ask Fisk. He wasn't quite @JohnnyBench_5 still a legend and one of my favorites. First Yanks captain since Gehrig. Gone at 32. #Yankees #Grit #RIP #Legend #ThurmanMunson – at Fort Wayne, IN

Maybe I’m a little naïve. Maybe just a dreamer. Folks are tired. But I still believe in what this country could be— Not perfect. Not polished. Just worth fighting for.

Some photos from Saturday's vintage baseball game.
Thankful I didn't die and for no significant muscle strain or pulls and no soreness. Ready to go again, with some prep this time.
