Reminds me of one of the crazier stats: legal (+associated) fees in the Lehman bankruptcy were $6 *billion*
One of the all-time greats.
Among other things, Sterling had perfect attendance for 30 years, he called 5,060 *consecutive* Yankees games from 1989 to 2019.
On a more personal note — when I worked at the Yankees in 2022, the analysts ate in the same cafeteria as the media. John was always exceptionally kind to me (at one point asking me to explain my grad school research)

some price discrimination for solo vs. group flyers still exists on American and, to some extent, United, but not on Delta.
Where it does exist, it appears to be a *discount* for group flyers, not a *markup* for solo ones.
Confirming scoop by @kpottermn, @AmericanAir now charges solo travelers who don’t book weekend stays more than 2+-passenger bookings on 57% of flights. Typical price gap around 1/3. Most common on short hops, via CLT/PHL & where @SouthwestAir is absent (h/t @xJonNYC). Link below.
