Ralph Gagliano’s big-league baseball career came and went in just one pitch. I traveled to Tennessee to meet Ralph and talk with him about that September 1965 night at Yankee Stadium and what happened after that. Here’s my story @TheAthletic. nytimes.com/athletic/66085…

@camkerry7 @k8tmac Congrats!

Personal news: I’m honored to have accepted a position on The Boston Globe staff as a sports content producer. There are countless people to thank for the opportunity and for helping me the past few years. I’m thrilled to get started and be a part of an incredibly talented team.

@davesims_ Nighttime sports talk can be what I like to call a soothing blast during a long drive. Was then, still is.

Before the internet, before ESPN and “all-sports radio,” there was SportsNight with yours truly on WNBC. "Imus in the morning”started our broadcast day and I brought it home at night. Tonight marks the 40th anniversary of our debut! What fun it was… Great memories!

My story will be up soon, but the way Jack Hughes got to SNL studios is awesome. From game's end in St. Louis to the SNL loading docks, it took him 2 hours, 59 minutes. He arrived at 10:32 p.m. -- 58 minutes before "puck drop."

@barrysvrluga @PressHerald @TheAthletic @AdamKilgoreWP Now that we’re all working together let’s triple-team a York Wildcats-Marshwood Hawks game!

@BuckinBoston @PressHerald @TheAthletic Thanks Buck! Plus York, Maine native @AdamKilgoreWP!

NEW for @TheAthletic from Milan, one cannot overstate the stakes in Sunday’s Olympic men’s hockey gold medal game. It has the chance to be the most-watched game in the sport’s entire history, for one. Team USA and Team Canada in one of the hockey’s most significant games ever ⤵️ nytimes.com/athletic/70613…

A trip to Mike Vrabel’s hometown reveals fun stories on the Patriots head coach. On high school Vrabel and the town that shaped him: nytimes.com/athletic/70183…

Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, sounds like a made-up town in a movie about a kid who starred on the high school football team (and other sports) on his way to the NFL. But it’s real, and it’s Mike Vrabel’s hometown. GREAT read by ⁦@ChadGraff⁩ @thathletic. nytimes.com/athletic/70183…

Mike Vrabel and Will Campbell sharing a laugh as they take in the chaos of Super Bowl media night.

The Patriots went 0-for-2 at landing key members of their 20-year domination of the league into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Neither Belichick nor Kraft was elected. Story: nytimes.com/athletic/70180…

Robert Kraft could’ve given Jerod Mayo a second season. Instead, he made the decision to pivot to Vrabel. And now the Patriots are back in the Super Bowl. Story: nytimes.com/athletic/70121…
