Before we get to the usual faffery, there are a couple of items from the sports world that I’d like to touch on, both from Baseball. As some of you may know, this Editor is a huge fan of America’s pastime, and as such it pains me to know that Brooks Robinson, the Orioles 3rd baseman died. Robinson was the GOAT at 3rd. He was a 16 time gold glove, 18 time All Star and World Series MVP in 1970. Godspeed Brooks.
On another sad note, it’s been announced that Red Sox lefty, Tim Wakefield has been diagnosed with brain cancer. We wish Tim a speedy recovery.
Now, on to the jollity and frolic.
TWO posts from my fave social media account this week! One funny one, and one serious one, posing as a funny one.
