I believe he's the first ex-Vandy player to be a head coach/manager in MLB, NBA or NFL.
Great person who, no doubt, will do an awesome job!

My kids have really gotten into space-related books by Stacy McNaulty. They're easily digestible for young kids and have facts and figures older kids will find interesting. Check out her work. It's tremendous! Make sure your school library has her books!

As a Mets fan, should I want Juan Soto over Pete Alonso? Or does that completely destroy their chemistry? Or am I just being nostalgic?
