A side of Coach Knight you rarely saw reported. Which was by his own design. His mom was a school teacher. He was an avid, lifelong reader. There has never been a college sport coach who put more emphasis on his players getting a degree. He donated yearly to the Orrville Public Library. Also the Boys Club, and YMCA. Was over at his high school alma mater today, and saw this:
He also donated $100,000 for new bleachers in the gymnasium.

@HniReal @agtradertalk @BX825returns we have agreed it is a tie, but nothing comes close to Dennis Flynn. He was the true symbol of the phrase, "I will take his head full of nickels over a million bucks."

@agtradertalk I laugh to myself every time I think the Pope is from the Southside. Let me know if you want to bring the family down, we can finagle tickets from the @cbot_ now that they are sponsors.

@agtradertalk I might have to, but most of the giveaways wouldn't fit five year old me!

@XStevoGabino @DragonFlyTrust without a confrontation, may I ask what trading floor you worked on?
English

@XStevoGabino @DragonFlyTrust He went from the trading floor to anchoring on RFDtv. Solid career, if he were a con man, he would have been outed by now. He is a friend and colleague of mine. He lost more integrity than you and I will ever have.

@XStevoGabino @DragonFlyTrust The Murray family is a class act and were a great part of the Chicago Board of Trade history. I think we have all done stupid crap, just not on WGN/TV with Harry announcing it!

@DragonFlyTrust Another class act! John Murray. Who got his A$$ kicked at Wrigley by Randy Myers.

Tom Baldwin “The King.”
The King of the Bond Pit
Arguably the single largest individual trader in the T-bond pit at his peak.
Started with about $20-25k in 1982 after working as a meat-packing product manager.
No fancy degree or Wall Street pedigree.
He scaled up aggressively, trading tens of thousands of contracts daily (face value in the billions).
Single trades of 2,000 contracts ($200M+) were normal for him.
Known for raw intuition, order flow reading, coolness under fire, and massive size that could move the market.
Featured in Market Wizards.
He built the Baldwin Group and invested in real estate (restoring historic Chicago buildings).
Fellow traders literally called him “The King.”
