I wrote this for @SABRWestMich about the passing of a local baseball pioneer:
We are saddened to learn of the death of Mamie Redman this past weekend at age 90.
Mamie was a catcher for the #GrandRapidsChicks of the @AAGPBL from 1950-54. She was a consultant on set for the filming of “A League Of Their Own.”
Here is our tribute:

@SABRWestMich Skeeter Barnes was a @wmwhitecaps coach in 1997 & '98.
I'll never forget when I booked him for a local sports radio show. I was a high school intern trembling to be talking to a Tiger & greeted him as "Mr. Barnes."
"Mr. Barnes is my dad. Call me Skeeter. "
#OTD in 1991 Cecil Fielder and fellow slugger Skeeter Barnes 😂😂😂 each go 3-for-5 with a home run in the Tigers' 12-9 win in Chicago
Law 'n order party tho

I've heard a lot of good Barack Obama speeches, this was indeed at or near the top. A man and a speech to match the moment when we need both.
Do I detect some @jonfavs fingerprints on it? (Yes I do.)

Here is President Obama’s Convention speech. The best of his career. The best I have heard since 1961, when JFK delivered his inaugural address. Please listen to every word. Listen and take heed: VOTE to save America and yourself:
