Only two of the Navajo Code Talkers are still alive. The Route 66 motel where some of these World War II heroes were recruited may not outlive them.

That Ortiz and Clase reportedly received the EXACT same dollar amount from fixers — in 2025! — as Shoeless Joe Jackson and Lefty Williams did in 1919 is … completely absurd. And another reason why player salaries have very little to do with why these gambling scandals happen.

One last Sharon Begley byline. RIP to a fantastic science writer.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

After @mandophotos.bsky.social photographed federal agents pointing rifles at 26th/Lawndale yesterday, I inquired with DHS about what threat had prompted them to pull weapons on a busy commercial strip (pictured). This is the response I got from a representative of the United States government.

First place I saw Vlad Jr. play. He was monster-sized even at 19.
Arizona Fall League is the very best place to watch baseball. A beautiful park, not a cloud in the sky, nobody else around except a dozen scouts — and a bunch of extremely talented players who will be big stars in about 4 years.
