Mike Ditka was scheduled to sing the seventh inning stretch on July 5th, 1998. This was the year that Harry Caray died and the “guest conductor” was new at Wrigley Field. Ditka got stuck in traffic and was running late. By the time the top of the seventh ended, Ditka was still not there and Steve Stone and Chip Caray stalled for time. Finally Ditka busts into the press box, grabs the mic, and screams Take Me Out To The Ball Game in twenty two seconds! Organist Gary Pressy could barely keep up! The crowd roared with approval! R.I.P. Mike Ditka

Metallica has not only changed lives with their music; they've also changed lives with their philanthropy – from donations to food banks and disaster relief, to the band's charity All Within My Hands, which has donated to workforce education and other critical services.
Luke Burbank caught up with the band and some of the 9,000 Metallica Scholars who have benefited from the band's grants through trade schools and community colleges.

The Yale Golf Course just got a $30 million Gil Hanse restoration.
Now, Yale is charging $350 for the public to play…with poor and patchy turf conditions.
So, what happened?

Dinner on my own at the bar overlooking the pizza station at Heritage in Ft Lauderdale. As Sarah would say, as “James Walker” meal. A Negroni, MAFALDINE BOLOGNESE with house-made mafaldine with veal, wagyu beef + pork bolognese. And their MEATBALL Pizza with tomato sauce, wagyu beef/veal/pork meatball, whipped ricotta, fresh mozzarella, fontina + provolone. Well worthy of the their Michelin Bib Gourmand reco. High energy, great food, highly recommend. Chef told me all Pizzas are all twice cooked, once at 900F and then they rest, and then finished at 575F to crisp the bottom. Never seen this before, but it absolutely works!

For incoming freshmen at Bishop Kelley High School in Tulsa, Oklahoma, it's hard to imagine a more mortifying tradition on first-day dropoff: All the seniors surround their cars and don't let them out until they do one specific thing – give their mothers a goodbye kiss.
@SteveHartmanCBS reports on how a tradition of senior pranks turned into a show of thanks, and an emotional milestone for kids and their parents.

Autumn Mowery was 18 when the candlepin bowling alley in Ellsworth, Me., where she worked, was threatened with the wrecking ball. She took it over, challenging herself to keep the lights on in a pillar of the community – and in so doing Mowery found a way to help others in need of a safe place. cbsn.ws/4g8JGJA
