Celebrations of Jackie Robinson Day downplay his activism during and after his playing career.
They also ignore the fact that there are still so few Black major league players and managers, and no Black majority owners of any MLB team.
I'd love to, but work stands in the way. Have fun at Carleton!
It's funny that he retired from being a world leader and went right back to his old life of being the youngest son of old money
Funny that the Jays signed Patrick Corbin just to put a Vladimir-Lenyn infield behind him
That brings shame on the Jays, Skydome, Toronto, and Smuckers
Ready for the 9-1-1 challenge?
9 mini dogs
1 beer (split into 9 glasses)
1 full inning before the food gets too cold and the beer gets too warm
Is it on the 16th or 17th? The poster says 16th
He certainly looks like a guy weighing his divided loyalties
My parents' first car was a 1979 Pontiac Acadian, which is the same thing. The front axle rusted and snapped in a Miracle Mart parking lot in 1992.
I was at the the first regular season Canada Day matchup between the Blue Jays and the Expos
RCMP Deputy Commissioner Dwayne McDonald says police had visited the shooter’s residence at various points over recent years. Officers had responded to mental-health related calls, and firearms had been seized. “At a later point in time, the lawful owner of those firearms petitioned for those firearms to be returned, and they were.”
So the concessions built into the law by gun advocates restored the shooter's access to firearms.
It's really frustrating to see already that this glaring and completely predictable failure of the system will be lost in the coming discourse.

Trying to let the Tumbler Ridge news sink in.
I used to work in the area. I was charmed by the town, the dinosaur museum, and people every time.
Prayers are with families of the victims and the wonderful community in the Peace.
I just want to hit those trying to make this tragedy fit their agenda
It will be interesting to see how teams handle this for minor leaguers, who will be living (some for the first time with limited English) in and around towns across rural, deeply Republican America.
Massive increases to jackboots on the ground and no additional capacity to handle the legal backend just lays bare that this exercise is entirely about terror.
DHS had no actual plan to do what they told their supporters they were doing.
That's why we dress up athletes in the colors of their geopolitical entities and make them compete against each other for national glory... To forget about politics
They're going to harass people and say they're looking for any undocumented immigrants who may have snuck on to the US Olympic Team.
To be honest, Newfoundland really needs to be it's own trip. There's lots to see and do.
If you're renting a car, PEI is feasible. I've done it before on vacation, flying in and out of Halifax. We did PEI, NS and NB in 10 days.
Newfoundland is a bit too far. When I moved, it took me 8 hours to drive from St. John's to Port-aux-Basques and another 8 hours on the ferry to the mainland.
Theory: Under the rules of the FIFA Peace Prize, Trump can only invade countries that have not qualified for the World Cup.
Drove hundreds of miles just to watch TV. Still, having a great time!

Headed to today's game too! See you on the Flight Deck?
I found Nichijou because I dozed off in front of the TV one day and it was on when I woke up (thanks to it's garbage timeslot). I love Arawi's balance of over-the-top and charming
Jays are in New York for Victoria Day
Just another denaturing of history into marketable pablum, no different from the 42-washing the color line into a blameless state of nature instead of an active choice by MLB bosses.
Me and the missus were originally discussing going to NYC and San Diego this fall...
But thanks to the Donnybrook down south, we've booked London, Paris, and hiking in the French Alps.
