Allan Ludgate

He saw The Great Depression. He saw Jackie Robinson play in person. He witnessed World War 2. He saw the Civil Rights movement. He witnessed 9/11. He witnessed a pandemic ravage the world. But after 100 years on this planet… He had never seen Embiid make a conference finals.

DRAKE MAYE

We are devastated to learn of the passing of Hall of Famer Rickey Henderson. Across a 25-year career, Henderson was a 10-time All-Star, 3-time Silver Slugger Award winner, 2-time World Series champion and the 1990 American League MVP. Nicknamed the “Man of Steal,” Henderson owns the record for most career stolen bases (1,406) as well as the Modern Era (post-1900) record for most steals in a single season, with 130 in 1982. He led the American League in stolen bases in 12 separate seasons, and was MLB’s overall steals leader in six of those years. 14 of Henderson’s 25 seasons were spent with the Athletics. He also played for the Yankees, Padres, Mets, Mariners, Red Sox, Blue Jays, Angels and Dodgers. Henderson was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2009. He was 65 years old.

TYSON FURY LOSES BACK-TO-BACK BOUTS VS. OLEKSANDR USYK 😳🤯 WOW. #Usyk2Fury

Bill Belichick meeting with the Carolina band

12 years ago on Thanksgiving we got the greatest play of all time. The butt fumble.

Happy thanksgiving 🍁. What are y’all most thankful for?

The view from the @WhiteHouse grounds 🇺🇸

Trane and Elvin On 11/19/62, the John Coltrane 4qt played this version of Bye Bye Blackbird in Stockholm. The 5-1/2 min tag starting at 12:30 is some of my favorite music. Ever. To paraphrase Amiri Baraka, it sounds like the wild pulse of all living. youtube.com/watch?v=XC9y7f…

Dr. J arrives at the Nassau Coliseum during the 1976 ABA Finals and the badassery in the air is palpable.

For the first time in NFL history a team has trailed by 20 or more points in five straight home games, including playoffs, with the Eagles now up 28-6 on the Cowboys. The Cowboys had been tied for the longest streak with the 2013-14 Raiders with four in a row.

The Stoics' truth never grows old: "Disturbance comes only from within, "observed Marcus Aurelius, the emperor who spent long years at the battlefront, "from our own perceptions." We blame the outside world for our own failure to see things clearly.

People used to compared these two 😭😭😭

Since 2019 (the last five regular seasons and the start of this one), the players who have won their minutes the most, just raw plus-minus. No complicated formula. Just "their team outscored the other team by this much when they played."

Looks like @davidortiz is having the time of his life in the Bronx 😂

Patriots fans when they’re 2-6 but they ruined Aaron Rodgers and the Jets season

All this 2004 on my TV right now

Twenty years ago tonight, on October 27, 2004, the Boston Red Sox won the World Series. It was something I never thought I’d see in my lifetime, and it’s almost inconceivable that I saw three more after this. May we never not get chills.

Kevin Millar was in the clubhouse bathroom with a copy of the @BostonGlobe when he saw @Dan_shaughnessy's column saying that if the Red Sox lose again, they're a "pack of frauds." When Millar confronted Shaughnessy, cameras captured the moment.

Happy Stealiversary to those who celebrate. October 17, 2004.
