One of the smartest basketball players I have watched. Not blessed with size or amazing speed, Wallace just made his team better. A basketball players basketball player

@CascadeHoopTalk You have always been able to recognize the game within the game, the player within the performance. Thank you CascadeHoopTalk for your uncommon ability to see.

With an incredibly strong field and three different leaders over the last 400m, Cole Hocker ran down Nico Young & Yared Nuguse to win the US 3000m final in one of the greatest races ever staged at a US indoor championships. Yes, it was that good. letsrun.com/news/2026/02/2…

That #USATFIndoor 3K finish! 7:39.25 - Cole Hocker 7:39.28 - Yared Nuguse 7:39.29 - Nico Young

He called over 9,000 games across 67 seasons — and when they told him he could keep going forever, he said goodbye on his own terms. In 1950, a 22-year-old kid from the Bronx named Vin Scully walked into the Brooklyn Dodgers' broadcast booth as the third announcer on the team's radio crew. Nobody expected what would happen next — least of all Scully himself. He stayed for 67 years. Scully called games through Brooklyn, through the team's move to Los Angeles in 1958, through transistor radios held up in the Coliseum stands where fans sat so far away they needed his voice to feel close to the action. He narrated Jackie Robinson's legacy, called Hank Aaron's record-breaking 715th home run, and delivered one of the most iconic lines in World Series history when Kirk Gibson hit an impossible pinch-hit homer in 1988: "In a year that has been so improbable, the impossible has happened." Then he went silent for a full minute, letting the crowd tell the story. That was his gift. Scully never needed a broadcast partner. While modern sports broadcasting evolved into multi-person panels and constant chatter, Scully worked alone, rotating innings with his colleagues but always calling his portions solo. A colleague once explained why: "Poets don't need straight men." By the time he reached his 80s, the Dodgers had made clear that the booth was his for as long as he wanted it. He had already scaled back his travel, calling only a handful of road games per season while continuing every home broadcast. His voice was still sharp. His storytelling still unmatched. His audience still loyal. But at 88 years old, Scully made the decision himself. At a press conference in 2015, with his trademark self-deprecation, he announced that 2016 would be his final year. "How much longer can you go on fooling people?" he said. The final season became a celebration unlike anything sports broadcasting had ever seen. The city of Los Angeles renamed the street leading to Dodger Stadium "Vin Scully Avenue." President Barack Obama awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, America's highest civilian honor. His final home game on September 25, 2016, ended with a walk-off home run by Charlie Culberson to clinch the National League West — as if the baseball gods had written the script themselves. The stadium overflowed hours before first pitch, and fans stayed long after the final out just to hear him speak. His last broadcast came on October 2 in San Francisco — exactly 80 years to the day after an 8-year-old boy from the Bronx walked past a Chinese laundry, saw the World Series score posted in the window, and fell in love with baseball. As fate would have it, Scully had become a Giants fan that day in 1936. Eight decades later, a Giants ballpark is where he said his final goodbye. In that final sign-off, he didn't talk about himself. He talked about the audience. "So many people have wished me congratulations on a 67-year career," he said. "Now, all I can do is tell you what I wish for you." He then offered a blessing — a prayer for rainbows after storms, smiles after tears, and faithful friends to share in every trial. Then silence. The microphone went off. And 67 seasons ended exactly the way they had begun — with grace. Vin Scully passed away on August 2, 2022, at age 94. He left behind five children, twenty-one grandchildren, six great-grandchildren, and a legacy that will outlast every stadium that ever amplified his voice. He didn't leave because his audience stopped listening. He left because after 67 years, he had earned the right to decide when the final inning was over. And he called it perfectly. Vin Scully

Your circle is either your power or poison, choose them wisely. This touching scene caught on camera shows a group of young boys enjoying a baseball game together. When a player decided to toss a ball into the stands, all the boys immediately pointed to one of their friends - it was his birthday. The player noticed their gesture and threw the ball straight to him. As the birthday boy caught it, his friends burst into cheers, their faces glowing with pure excitement and joy. It wasn’t just about the ball - it was about friendship, kindness, and the simple magic of childhood. Moments like this remind us that the people around us shape who we are. The right circle will lift you up, celebrate your wins, and find joy in your happiness. The wrong one will quietly drain your light. Your circle can be your strength or your weakness, choose wisely.

Kruz Schoolcraft has legitimate frontline upside 🔥 At 6-foot-8 and 229 pounds, the 18-year-old features a three-pitch mix headlined by a fastball that touched 99 mph in bridge league play. He's a player we're excited to watch in the Arizona backfields: buff.ly/Iq6NyOM

Great story. Bobby V is one of the smartest baseball people I've ever known. And I was around him all the years he managed the Rangers, where Nolan Ryan finished his career. Playing for Bobby V in Texas Ryan threw his 6th & 7th no-hitters, got his 5,000th strikeout & 300th win!
