Mandatory hydration break with 6:34 in the third quarter. Strom Thurmond still leads North Augusta 7-0. Rebels looking at a 2nd and 13 from their own 30 when play resumes

Pass the hat!
A friend shared this photo of Clifford Roberts and me and it brought back such wonderful memories of how I started coming to this great tournament. After I won for the first time in the UK, it was my father who wrote Mr. Roberts a letter telling of my success and desire to compete in the Masters. The rest is history… GP

Jack Nicklaus played in all 40 major championships contested during the 70s. He finished in the top ten 35 times.
Sterling was my favorite Gamecock that I covered over roughly 35 years.
The moment Sterling Sharpe breaks through the gimpy tackles and the camera starts shaking I just know Willy B was absolutely rocking.
Crowd pop probably went crazy @GamecockFB
Congrats and best of luck!
Some personal news: After a decade of reporting in local newsrooms, I joined Fox News Digital in 2024 to cover national stories for the breaking team. Whether it was hopping on a red-eye to cover a terror attack in Boulder, Colo., rushing to DCA when Flight 5342 plunged into the Potomac, or jumping out of bed at 2 a.m. to solo live blog the initial attack on Iran — I could not be more appreciative for the reporting experiences that have molded my career in the nation’s capital.
I’m proud to share that I have been promoted to editor, moving from reporting the news to helping shape our coverage. I am incredibly grateful for this opportunity and for every mentor, colleague and friend who supported me along the way.
Please keep the tips coming; whether I am reporting the story myself or assigning it to the right reporter, I’m always looking for the next scoop 🇺🇸
Garv should be in the HOF for this clip alone! Fred Lynn is still chasing that ball ... :)

Steve Garvey breaks Expos fans’ hearts with a tie breaking HR in Game 4 of the ‘81 NLCS. Garvey was a postseason monster hitting .338/.361/.550 in 232 PAs (55 games) with 11 HRs, 8 doubles & 3 triples. He played his final game OTD in 1987.

In one of baseball’s greatest achievements, Steve Garvey hit .316 with 21 HR and 113 RBI in 1978 and played all 162 regular season games despite having the diet of a divorced forklift driver named Otis.

I’ve never felt Larry Doby gets enough credit for integrating the American League less than three months after Jackie Robinson debuted for the Dodgers. Today while we honor Jackie, let’s also take some time to remember Larry Doby and his huge contribution to the game.

Excited to return to Dodger Stadium today to reflect on the life and legacy of Jackie Robinson! Deeply honored to speak with players from the @Dodgers and @Mets in a special ceremony at 2:30 pm PT around the statue of Jackie!

On April 15, 1947, Jackie Robinson broke baseball’s color barrier. Today, we celebrate and honor the life and legacy of No. 42. Thank you, Jackie. Your courage will live on forever. #Jackie42
