It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.
Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.
Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

“If you’ve got a sombrero, throw it to the sky!” - Vin’s words following Fernando’s 1990 no-hitter.
Somehow right now they seem appropriate too.
So thankful for what he did for the game and for so many people. Like so many, was such a fan.
Fernando-mania lives forever. RIP#34

Thoreau diary entry, 1856, re baseball in the 1830s:
"April 10. Thursday. Fast Day. . . . I associate this day, when I can remember it, with games of base-ball played over beyond the hills in the russet fields toward Sleepy Hollow, where the snow was just melted and dried up."
