The Wizard of Oz turns 87 this year, and back in 1998, critic Rick Polito wrote what might be the greatest one-line TV listing ever for TCM.

An Israeli emerges from his destroyed house with a beer and his gun😭

Not many people know this, but not only Bob Dylan is a Zionist, he actually wrote a song about Israel sarcastically entitled "‘Neighborhood Bully." The song was written more than 40 years ago, but reads as of it was written yesterday. Well, the neighborhood bully, he’s just one man His enemies say he’s on their land They got him outnumbered about a million to one He got no place to escape to, no place to run He’s the neighborhood bully The neighborhood bully just lives to survive He’s criticized and condemned for being alive He’s not supposed to fight back, he’s supposed to have thick skin He’s supposed to lay down and die when his door is kicked in He’s the neighborhood bully The neighborhood bully been driven out of every land He’s wandered the earth an exiled man Seen his family scattered, his people hounded and torn He’s always on trial for just being born He’s the neighborhood bully Well, he knocked out a lynch mob, he was criticized Old women condemned him, said he should apologize. Then he destroyed a bomb factory, nobody was glad The bombs were meant for him. He was supposed to feel bad He’s the neighborhood bully

Hi everyone, I've learned that my article for Rolling Stone really, really upsets the anti-Israel fanatics. So please, don't repost my latest article for @RollingStone, unless you want them to be even angrier 😢 rollingstone.com/culture/cultur…

Sandy Koufax’s slow curveball 😮‍💨

I was blessed to spend an hour with Willie Horton He told me that the first time he showed up to spring ball, he was not allowed to get a taxi to the stadium because he was black. He said Lolich and Kaline found out and drove him everywhere. He said they made sure he was always safe and got wherever he needed. He said they very publicly played basketball together in their free time at a time when most white guys wouldn’t do that Mickey was the real deal in every sense of the word.

“It wasn’t Hitler or Himmler who deported me, beat me, and shot my family. It was the shoemaker, the milkman, the neighbor, who were given a uniform and then believed they were the master race.” by Karl Stojka, Auschwitz survivor

Deni Avdija says he’s fed up with the hate he receives for being from Israel, calls out the lack of education on the topic, and demands respect, saying those outside the Middle East shouldn’t speak on it “You don’t have to love what I stand for or how I look, but if I’m a good player, give props. All this hate … for no reason. Like, I’m deciding things in the world. I’ll be honest: What do people expect me to do? This is my country, where I was born, where I grew up. I love my country; there are a lot of great things about my country. But obviously, not everyone is educated and knows what is going on, and that’s what pisses me off. Because if you are educated and know what is going on, it’s fine to say what you think and say who you think is right or wrong. But if you are not educated and you are not part of the Middle East, and you don’t understand how long this goes back and understand the consequences and everything … just don’t say anything.” (Via nytimes.com/athletic/69752…)

Meanwhile in Wisconsin 🤦‍♂️

Earlier this week, Shohei Ohtani's dog (Decoy) took a shit in the outfield. It's the first piece of shit found in the outfield since Aubrey Huff last played there, with the Giants in 2012.

Our cat is liquid 😹

104 year old World War 2 Veteran Dominick Critelli performed the National Anthem on the saxophone at tonight’s game!

Sir Stephen Watson, Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police: ‘I think it's some very important point to reflect upon that Jewish children are the only children in our country who, day to day, go to school behind large fences guarded by people with busy jackets, and where there are routine police patrols in and around those areas. Our Jewish communities put up with a way of life in our country today that nobody else has to put up with. I do think that there is something very significant in that, something very significant in the realisation of it, and we all, I think need to question ourselves afresh as the dynamic continues to change as to whether what we are doing continues to be adequate.’ 👇🏼

Babe Ruth and teammate Bob Meusel stand on the field in suits and caps during their suspension in 1922 for participating in unauthorized exhibition games, barnstorming. Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis explicitly banned barnstorming tours, leading to the suspension of both players for the first six weeks of the 1922 MLB season.
