Here’s a great look at the 1979 Braves with Bob Horner. For those of us who had cable back then, this was one of the first teams we fell in love with, even though they finished just 66-94. Bobby Cox was 38 and Phil Niekro was 40.

In early 1918 John Elliott of Bangor, ME wrote his name on a wall of an underground shelter in France. It's still there. Pvt. Elliott was killed on the last full day of the war, November 10, 1918. He was 18 years old. For more: youtube.com/watch?v=aKrWv7… richardrubinwriter.com

“For all her brief, blazing fame, she was always an ascetic, happiest in a library. ‘The pleasure I take in studying, in mastery ends up substituting for a personal life. ‘I don’t feel loneliness, or miss things that people need. I value freedom.’ “ thetimes.com/culture/books/…

@MattZemek I’m concerned more about journalists’ situational views on free expression depending on who’s doing the expressing. Many of them have applauded censorship on this platform for views they don’t like.

@wparker It's unfortunate that the pathetic, sloppy, lazy attempts to make Colbert a free speech martyr are diverting people's attention from the real issue, which is corporate consolidation/concentration.

Best wishes to my old paper: “It was a big gamble for Cox. It points to the possibility of a significant failure. And understanding it is really important to them. It could be that it's a good strategy, but it's going to take more time for it to work." npr.org/2026/05/11/nx-…

On this day 49 years ago, Ted Turner managed the Atlanta Braves for exactly ONE game. During a 16-game losing streak in 1977, Turner took over the dugout against the Pirates before National League president Chub Feeney ordered him to step down because owners weren’t allowed to manage. Only Ted. RIP to a true Atlanta icon.
