The Yankees have 11 hits, five of which have been extra base hits. They have two runs. That’s just a diabolical. That level of offensive output should produce more runs almost always does. Not tonight though.

NEW: One Kalshi trader just put $2,905 on the New York Yankees to NOT win the World Series. If they’re correct, it would pay out $3,500 for a profit of $595.

George Herbert Walker Bush had just lost the presidency to the man who defeated him in the 1992 election, and on the morning he walked out of the Oval Office for the very last time he sat down and did something so unexpectedly gracious that it changed the course of American history in the quietest way imaginable, leaving a handwritten note on the desk for Bill Clinton that read, in part, that Clinton's success would now be the country's success and that he was rooting hard for him, a gesture so stunning in its generosity that Hillary Clinton said it made her cry the first time she read it and again the moment she heard George Bush had passed away years later. That small act of decency planted a seed between two men separated by 22 years in age, a generation of political difference, and one of the most bruising campaign battles of the modern era, and what grew from it would eventually become one of the most beloved and talked-about friendships in American presidential history. The friendship did not truly bloom until President George W. Bush, the son of the man Clinton had defeated, asked both his father and Clinton to travel together to raise relief funds for the nations devastated by the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, and what happened on that overnight flight changed everything because Clinton, knowing that the elder Bush was already dealing with the early effects of Parkinson's disease, insisted that Bush take the only private bedroom on the plane and stayed close to his side throughout the trip, steadying him when needed, showing a tenderness that had nothing to do with politics and everything to do with genuine human care. Barbara Bush, who famously said she loved Bill Clinton even if not always his politics, called them the odd couple, and ABC News named them both its People of the Year in 2005 for their hurricane relief and tsunami work together. As the years went on and Bush's health declined, Clinton would find reasons to stop by and visit, and he always brought a small gift that spoke volumes about how well he knew his old friend: another pair of funny, colorful socks for Bush's beloved collection, including a pair printed with Clinton's own face, which Bush wore with visible delight. At the state funeral in Washington in 2018, Clinton sat in the front pew and wept openly, and when he later wrote about it he said simply that he just loved him, three words that carried the full weight of a friendship that had started with a handwritten note on a desk and ended with a broken heart in a cathedral pew.
