Sports talk radio the way it was meant to be! Thank you to Dan Reinhard, for having me on Radio Kingston. We went deep and found some treasure, I think! radiokingston.org/en/broadcast/s… The Baseball Project #newbooks SABR SABR BioProject

The Orange Shitgibbon is a lot like The Walking Dead, a TV show that drones on for too long and doesn't know when to quit. Also, he's like the walking dead.

This was the news today in 1947. Mize was ahead of the pace set by his cousin-in-law, Babe Ruth. But so many people were against him for having the nerve to chase the Babe. Read about it in "Big Cat," available wherever you buy books! Univ Nebraska Press #BabeRuth Johnny "Big Cat" Mize #BaseBall

Had a terrific time with Clyde Sukeforth Chapter - ME/NH last night, talking about Johnny "Big Cat" Mize and my new book, BIG CAT, with a great bunch of people who had sharp questions and wonderful stories. Give a listen! Univ Nebraska Press Bird Chatter Baseball #BaseballHistory ⚾️ #Baseball SABR #newbook youtube.com/watch?v=pXnX8_…

Tim Walz speaks about the importance of not trying to change his son, Gus, but rather, helping him enjoy his life. Tim Walz speaks for my family.

This was a fun story to work on, how music can help learning, and also reframe old memories. Video, sound clips, and a Spotify list all help the words go down. Check it out: research.gatech.edu/feature/music-…

Dad has been gone 37 years today. He was a father, husband, executive, writer, artist, carpenter, playmate, overall wonderful human being and I miss him every day. He was also a helluva singer, and here is as a belting out a tune as a sailor for Uncle Sam, 1947ish.

Of the hundreds of stories I've written about Georgia Tech research in the past 10 years, this one might be my favorite (plus, it's got a cool video, a Spotify list, and sound clips to help all the words go down easy). #music #memory #learning

Me and BIG CAT at the Habersham Mills ball field. Johnny Mize played semipro baseball here back in the 1920s and 30s, probably for $10 a game. He wouldn't have been able to afford my book! Univ Nebraska Press Johnny "Big Cat" Mize #Baseball BaseballHistoryNut Baseballbookclub

Was Johnny "Big Cat" Mize the 6th Beatle? No. But his business manager/agent, Murray Kaufman, aka Murray the K, was the so-called 5th Beatle. Read about the Mize-Beatles connection in my book BIG CAT, available everywhere. Univ Nebraska Press DrPopCulture #Beatles #Baseball The Baseball Project

There are people in this world with very cruel obsessions. Some of them enjoy pulling the wings off flies. Some enjoy shooting fish in a barrel. And others enjoy watching Greg Maddux pitch to hitters. I'm one of the sickos in the third category.

Thank you, @univnebpress, for this cool little promo. I think the Big Cat would walk to the plate to the driving metal of T.N.T. by AC/DC. instagram.com/reel/C_TvFvQyh…

J.D. Vance isn't an asshole for saying school shootings are a fact of life. He's an asshole for being OK with that, and for enabling that.
