On this day in 2013, Stan Musial passed away at the age of 92. He didn’t really do well as a pitcher starting out, but he sure could hit. 3,630 of ‘em, while batting .331 over the course of 22 years. And still underappreciated. Here’s my painting of him at Shibe Park in May of 1946.

Found this at Sound Revolution in Klein yesterday. It still has the original plastic and price tag from 1985. “Your Love” is obviously a classic. But the entire album is fantastic and under-appreciated.

Isaiah Blackwell used his body as a shield in guiding Jake Lang away from counterprotesters before two Black women were his unexpected getaway drivers.
Former Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak said, “Lang saw that Black man as less than him. The Black man saw Lang as a human being.”

I just want to emphasize for Texans that with the potential of wintry precipitation this weekend there is a lot of uncertainty and that is likely to continue for several days. Last year’s forecast looked like snow from the beginning which was easier. This looks not like snow, more difficult.

Are the Texans the Aggies of the NFL? Like, they make you think there’s a chance, but in the biggest games they don’t show up? Anyway, condolences to my Houston football friends. I know this pain all too well

“The El Paso Times reported nearly 90 emergency 911 health calls coming from the facility in the first 15 weeks of operation … and the ACLU reported acts of physical violence against detainees and attempts to force detainees to self-deport.”
A third immigrant held at Camp East Montana has died, reportedly by suicide. Victor Manuel Díaz was detained in Minnesota. He is the sixth migrant to die since Jan. 1 in ICE detention.
