Dodgers win two World Series in a row and get Tarik Skubal: bad for baseball Yankees appear in the World Series 14 out of 16 years from 1949 to 1964: Golden Age of Baseball.
MLB is offering a fair deal to the players, willing to give up 50% of all mid September Wednesday gate revenues of teams that are out of contention. 
Evan Drellich@evandrellich.bsky.social · last wk.Major League Baseball says it wants to share revenues with players “50-50.”The union says that’s “misleading propaganda” and “deception.” The really big question at the heart of this: 50-50 … of what?

Gonna be even sweeter when the Knicks plow through these guys to the finals.

1982 Topps Traded set has 132 cards, but 13 cards (10% of the set) is comprised of only 5 last names. Can you name them, and the players? #cardsky
Dansby Swanson must be the Messiah because this kind of resurrection has only happened once before.
I say the Knicks get him to take Mitchell Robinson‘s minutes.
The Athletic@theathletic.com · last mo.LeBron James, the NBA’s all-time leading scorer, will play in his 24th NBA season, but for a team other than the Los Angeles Lakers, The Athletic confirms. James has not announced where he will play next, but felt it was time to move on.
By a 5-4 vote, the Supreme Court determines that non-Christians can practice their religion in the United States. “A huge win!”
New Posey rule: to avoid unnecessary mental contact, reporters can only ask baseball questions.

Unlike the previous treaty signed at Versailles, this time the Nazis already exist.
Happy Bloomsday! Enjoy this bit of genius, which is save on my phone.
From @lukeepplin.bsky.social Moses and the Doctor (well worth reading!). Very much like Knicks-Spurs.
This has been in use for at least 40 of the 53 year drought. This morning was the first time this mug was a champion.
For some reason, thinking of these two late greats, who I so loved.
My 33 year-old son asked me how old I was the last time the Knicks won. I was 10.
So happy for Dolan, who finally gets a break in life
