Elly De La Cruz unleashed a 102 MPH DART to prevent an inside-the-park home run 🎯
That’s the fastest assist by an infielder in the Statcast era (since 2015)

Ryne Sandberg went 5-for-6 with seven RBI in the 1984 game that became known simply as "The Sandberg Game."
He homered off Bruce Sutter to tie it in the ninth, then hit another home run in the 10th before the Cubs finally won 12-11 in 11 innings.
One huge late swing would have been enough for a classic game.
Sandberg essentially did it twice against one of the best relievers in baseball.

Most people buy assets based on feelings. There's a 26-hour MIT course that proves exactly how much that costs them.
Ricardo Caballero. Former head of MIT's economics department. One of the most cited macroeconomists on the planet. He doesn't teach you "investing." He teaches you the one formula that prices every asset on Earth.
Present discounted value.
Sounds boring? That's why most people will never learn it.
Here's what Caballero shows in the first few lectures alone. Every stock, bond, and property you've ever bought is just future cash flows divided by a discount rate.
Change the rate by 1%, and billions move. Not because anything real changed. Because one number in one equation shifted.
And the Fed controls that number.
They raise it. Your portfolio drops 30%. They cut it. You feel rich again. Same companies. Same earnings. Same economy. Different price.
Now think about that.
Every time you panicked and sold at the bottom, someone who understood this formula was on the other side of your trade. Buying. Calmly. Mathematically.
Caballero proves it with bonds first because the math is naked. Then equities. Then he gets to bubbles, where he shows the exact moment prices disconnect from the formula and crowds start trading stories instead of numbers.
I've sat through lectures from Harvard, Yale, Stanford. None of them made me feel this stupid this fast. That's how you know it's good.
Save this. Watch it on 1x. You'll want to rewind.

A broke Italian gambler in 1560 wrote a short manual on how to win at dice. Nobody in finance read it for four hundred years.
The nine-trillion-dollar insurance industry runs on his equation.
His name was Girolamo Cardano. The book was called Liber de Ludo Aleae. He scribbled it in Milan to settle a card debt. Every dollar of premium ever collected on Earth is a footnote to that scribble.
Nobody connected the dots until 1996. A ninety-year-old man in New York wrote a book called Against the Gods and traced every modern risk model back to Cardano's manual. Wall Street called him the historian of risk.
His name was Peter Bernstein. In 2008 a small production company filmed him for thirteen minutes. He walked through the entire five-hundred-year arc. Cardano to Pascal to Fermat to Black-Scholes.
Then he stopped and said the industry had built glass towers on the back of an idea a broke gambler scribbled to shave the house edge.
He died the following summer. Age ninety.
There are only four ways to make money. Labor. Capital. Arbitrage. Insurance. Insurance is the oldest and the least visible. Every actuary on Earth still prices catastrophe risk with Cardano's framework.

FLOOD WATCH has been issued from 7:00pm Thursday until 10:00am Friday for Will and Kendall County. Additional heavy rainfall today and again overnight into tomorrow morning on top of already saturated grounds could bring flooding conditions once again across the area. If you live in flood prone areas you must stay alert and remain vigilant. And never drive through areas of water. #ilwx

PokerStars could be about to get a serious traffic boost.
Flutter is moving Betfair, Paddy Power and Sky Poker onto the @PokerStars Network, bringing their players into the same liquidity pool.
Could this be the start of a PokerStars revival?
