@PhillyInquirer@RAJr_20 Love hearing Hamels on the broadcast. Dude (obviously) knows the pitching game and calls it, the most overlooked aspect of baseball telecasts.
New #Rays owner Patrick Zalupski says fan experience is a top priority, stadium(s) work is keeping his group busy, and being at spring training with his 11-year-old son was vey cool. tampabay.com/sports/rays/20…
#Rays Simpson said last over the fence homer he hit was junior year in college and it went off outfielder’s glove and then over. He has the ball from this one, and a huge smile on his face.
@NYMag It’s not the headlights. It’s the high beams that people leave on. Cops should just hang anywhere populated for 20 mins writing tickets and they’d become a profit center.
Prior to flipping the Republican seat for Washington’s Third District in 2022, Congresswoman Marie Gluesenkamp Perez helped run an auto-repair and machine shop in Portland, Oregon. The trivial matters of the auto industry are closer to her than to your average politician, so it wasn’t surprising when she recently brought a sliver of that industry to Capitol Hill.
“I don’t know how many of you drive and how often,” she said in the House Appropriations Committee last July, “but I will tell you there is a plague in this country of headlight brightness.”
Her proposed amendment, which urges the Department of Transportation to investigate the headlight issue, passed through committee unanimously across party lines. And in September, Republican assemblyman Brian Miller introduced an act in the New York State Assembly calling for its own headlight investigation.
How it got to the point where Democrats and Republicans are joining arms about anything at all is hard to fathom. And to someone like Gluesenkamp Perez, that makes headlights an opportunity to appeal to both sides of her purple congressional district.
