Rest in Peace, Bob Uecker.
You brought so much joy to the world, not just baseball fans.
Thank you for making me smile often.
I hope the world remembers the picture you & Bob Gibson took holding hands in the Cardinals' team picture in 1964, a difficult time for race relations.

Happy 89th birthday to Sandy Koufax, the greatest left-handed pitcher who ever lived. On a shuttle to a reception at the Hall of Fame in 2015, I asked Koufax if we could take this selfie.

I will always treasure this picture with many of my baseball heroes during the Awards Ceremony a day before the 2015 Hall of Fame induction in Cooperstown, N.Y.
I presented the BBWAA career excellence award that day.
Rest easy, Rickey Henderson.

Today I celebrate the Day of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the Patron Saint of my parents’ beloved Mexico.
If you’ve never gone to the Basilica de Guadalupe in Mexico City, I recommend it.
Have a blessed day!

For the 18th consecutive year, I had a great conversation discussing my upcoming @baseballhall ballot. Karen brought some fire. Former Texas Supreme Court Judge David Medina, retired attorney John Unger and retired TV journo Jaime Zamora made it so much fun.

Oregon sits atop the College Football Playoff Selection Committee’s Top 25 rankings.
Ohio State is followed by Texas, Penn State and Indiana.
Indiana at No. 5 is joke. Indiana, Miami, Boise State, SMU and BYU would all have at least three losses playing against the SEC teams in the Top 15.

A horribly classless act by Honduras fans left Mexican national soccer team coach Javier Aguirre with a bloodied scalp. He was hit by a bottle thrown from the stands in Honduras after Los Catrachos beat Mexico 2-0.
