If you played ball in New England in the 90s/00s, you threw knuckleballs warming up. It was required. That was because of Tim Wakefield.

RIP Wake.

I've listened to hundreds of hours of Nixon tapes, and this is way, way worse than Watergate.
"I've covered politics a long time," @BretBaier says. "I don't think there has been testimony like this — that is kind of jaw-dropping, in a way — on the inside workings of a White House in crisis after, you know, at this moment, January 6th, that we have seen since Watergate."
