@jockowillink Thks for seeing us in Staten Island Jocko. Got up early and did a workout for the 1st time in a long time.I will keep it going

@Jimfrombaseball Back when Mickey had his restaurant in NYC my buddy told the waitress that Mick was his idol and that he named his kid after him. Soon after as he was eating dinner Mick was at the table signing a ball which he told my buddy to give to his newborn son 😀

"I had dinner with Mickey Mantle one night. It was in January in New York, and it was really cold. We were walking back to the Regency Hotel, where we both were staying, and I had noticed that Mickey had asked for a doggie bag for his dinner in the restaurant--which was sort of strange. Anyway, he asks me to take a walk with him. Now this wasn't the kind of night where you wanted to take a stroll, but I went along, over to Madison Avenue, where he knew this homeless guy who was in a cardboard box. Mickey Mantle knocks on the cardboard and suddenly this guy pops up his head. He looks frightened--and frightening--not knowing who's there, and suddenly when he sees us, the guy's face softens. He says, 'Oh, hi, Mick.' And Mantle hands him his dinner. It was clear to me he had done this many times before. Did it mean that Mickey Mantle was the greatest humanitarian in the world? No, just that that was part of him, just as an hour later he could have been drunk in a bar and told some very nice autograph seeker to go f*** himself." Bob Costas. "He inspired awe without envy -- except perhaps for what he got away with." "The Last Boy" Jane Leavy.

@SteveBa76464037 Clint posted a good one here. I think he was thinking of us.. @ClintHurdle13

Carson Benge finds out that he made the big leagues 👏👏 (via @Mets)

@rosannascotto Saw the interview and wanted to say what a nice job you guys did with interview and how great the woman did explaining the situation and her emotions. Not an easy interview but handled compassionately! 🙏

#gdny We are back at #laguardia #lga after the plane crash. And we are speaking with a woman who was on that plane at 7:30!

@RepNancyMace You’re an elected official??

Are you willing for your kid to die to lower the price of oil?

@HPUMBB Keep your heads held high ! That was some performance! You guys NEVER quit ! You all are what March Madness is all about 🏀🏀🏀 I never heard of High Point but now I will not forget them.

@Jimfrombaseball Thanks so Scooter 😂😂😂😂

"Phil Rizzuto who always referred to everyone by their last name, said to me, "Hey, Kaat, I’m going to the men's room. Cover for me." And off he went. I had never done play-by-play before. Producer Don Carney asked me over the headset: "Where’s Rizzuto?" I said: "He went to the bathroom." I heard Don sigh and I knew in that moment that Rizzuto wasn't in the bathroom. He had gone outside, grabbed a cab, and went back to the hotel because it was too darn cold." Jim Kaat.

@LakelandFLSarah @BuzzPatterson Highly recommend His books…

@BuzzPatterson Buzz, do you have a book out? Are you permitted to put your recollections in print (other than X bits)?

On the morning of September 11, 2001, I was a recently retired Air Force lieutenant colonel, pilot, and a wet-behind-the-ears pilot for Delta Air Lines. I was scheduled to fly that morning from Atlanta to New York’s LaGuardia Airport with a departure around 9:30 AM. As I was kissing my wife and children goodbye for a few days, I noticed the living room television in the background and witnessed the impact into the first World Trade Center tower. Katie Couric and NBC were speculating that it was a small, private aircraft that had somehow wandered off course and collided with the tall tower. I sat down on the couch and told my wife, “There is no way.” It was a crystal-clear blue day in New York City, absolutely perfect for flying. Pilots refer to this as “visual flight rules.” The aftermath of the first attack was demonstrably more devastating than anything a private small craft could produce. As we sat there, I watched the second aircraft hit the sister tower. Same immediate damage, and a convincing display of force. “That’s a lot of jet fuel,” I said. “We’ve been attacked.” It was yet to be determined who the attackers were, but we’d quickly learn that it was racial Islamic terrorists seeking to undermine the U.S. and kill Americans. And I immediately knew that my former boss, President Bill Clinton and his administration were largely to blame. A few years previously, I’d been assigned to the White House and was Clinton’s Air Force Military Aide and carrier of the “nuclear football.” The “dereliction of duty” of the Clintons had come home to roost. The Delta Operations Center called me and said, “You’re not going anywhere. Stay home and hunker down.” The nation’s airspace had been completely closed with the exception of Air Force and Navy fighters that screamed across the silent skies over Atlanta searching for new attacks are eerily remembered. The republic of the United States had been forced to its knees by a group of terrorists operating from caves in Afghanistan.  When the airspace over the nation was reopened three days later, I resumed my trip for Delta and flew the original trip, or “rotation,” from Atlanta to NYC. As we were making our final descent into LGA, I looked to my left and saw the attack scene in downtown New York. Just over my shoulder. It was still on fire, and the smoke billowed hundreds of feet into the sky. It was quiet and sobering. I asked the passengers on the left side of the jet to take a look and remember. Now, 26 years later, it’s important to remember exactly what happened and how we got there. As the military aide to Bill Clinton, I was privileged to see the same intelligence that our president and senior staff members were privileged to see. When I first arrived at the White House in the spring of 1996, I immediately began seeing message traffic that suggested there were Al Qaeda plans to pull off a significant attack on U.S. assets involving the hijacking of American targets of the Trade Center, Pentagon, Chicago’s Sears Tower, and Los Angeles. As a pilot, that fact obviously raised the hairs on my neck. And I started paying attention to the commander-in-chief and the decisions that he made.

@DickieV God Bless You Dickie V 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏

Yes everytime I sit at courtside to me is a miracle after dealing with Melanoma - STAGE 4 Lymphoma - Vocal Cord Cancer - Lymph Nodes Cancer ! Yes calling games is fantastic therapy. share.google/kN9sdkJs3s0fyV…

@Super70sSports Can’t argue with that pick. Also loved the 85 Nova Team…. RIP Jimmy V 🙏

What’s your all-time favorite college basketball team? I’ve got 1983 NC State. If you remember the ultimate Cinderella run those kids went on, you damn sure know why. Jimmy V forever.

@BuzzPatterson As I have read your books and enjoyed them I always look forward to your stories here ! Keep it up Buzz 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

And yet you continue to follow me. Move on if you don’t like/want my content. It’s so simple even you can manage it.

@DickieV @franfraschilla @StJohnsBBall @KUHoops Great broadcast that they should put in a time capsule 🏀🏀🏀

@franfraschilla Thanks so much Fran- it was so much fun - you do a fab job when calling those major Big 12 games .Who do u like in 2nd round where it most likely be @StJohnsBBall vs @KUHoops ?

I loved seeing ⁦@DickieV⁩ on NCAA Tourney last night. Most people are too young to realize that Dick, Billy Packer, Al McGuire, Brent Musburger, Raftery and Dick Enberg revolutionized college basketball on television. We should be lucky to have his passion in our 80s.

@sny_knicks Jose IS NY 🏀🏀🏀

Jose Alvarado was asked about being introduced from Christ The King High School during lineup introductions: "I just wanted to show love to the school I went to in the city. It made sense for the first start in The Garden to represent the city where I was raised at"

@BuzzPatterson I have to and want to think that Al is a dick..

Who was the worst celebrity I ever flew? And why?

@CherieCurrie3 @GovPressOffice Cherie on 🔥🔥today 👍👍

@GovPressOffice Thanks to YOU NEWSOM! Lying sack of💩.

Thanks to Trump, gas prices are rising all over the country!

@JessicaTarlov Hush now Jessica or we will make @greggutfeld go off on you 😡

Republicans are lying to the American people when they say the SAVE Act is a voter ID law—it’s a proof-of-citizenship requirement that would make voting harder, if not impossible, for a lot of people. Passports are expensive, documents don’t always match, and the process can be a mess (been there). We should be making voting easier, not adding more hurdles. Democrats can own this by proposing their own bill that accepts a range of IDs, and includes automatic voter registration and Election Day as a national holiday for starters.

@annikadevils OMG what dedication!!! Hope he feels better….

@DSistaro No but we had already bought the tickets so he came tonight.. felt in pain all night so made a sacrifice in a way.. bent over like an old man

@BuzzPatterson God Bless you Buzz. Can’t begin to imagine what that meant to the families 🙏🇺🇸🙏

Getting gas in Guam in 1995. Long ass day! Thailand to Hanoi to Guam to Hawaii. But one of my most cherished memories, repatriating the remains of 5 US servicemen who paid the ultimate price in the Vietnam War. We landed in Hanoi to take possession of our warriors. It was a hot, summer day, and I noticed how bad the air was. The runway was typical Soviet Union bullshit - concrete blocks that undulated and shook the aircraft on our landing roll. The Vietnamese were rude and dismissing, even after I paid them $50,000 in landing fees. They interfered when we tried to honor our dead as we loaded them onto the airplane. We departed and landed in Guam for gas. (I’m the crusty dude on the left with two of America’s hall of fame loadmasters and two great friends). We arrived at Hickam AFB, Hawaii for the official ceremony with family members. We hit our blocks within 30 seconds of our scheduled arrival time! This is pre-GPS and no navigator. REPAT15 was our call sign. One of my greatest personal and professional honors!

@notgaetti Him hustling to try to beat out a DP must have affected his brain 😂😂😂😂

What does this actually mean? How did they show the world this? I watched until the end and they lost
