Does this Royals stadium have parking? I'm not seeing much of it in the renderings. If I've just watched the Royals blow another late-inning lead, I don't want to walk four miles to my car.

Since our start at the corner of 22nd and Brooklyn, we were founded to give a deserving city its Major League moment.

Today, that mission endures as we return downtown, driven by homegrown leadership and a deep commitment to Kansas City and to generations of fans.

That #Royals walk off could have been from 1985 given how “any way” it was. The ‘85 team walked off 10 times, seemingly in a different way each time. How about a walk off fielders choice by Dave Leeper?

Thank you so much! I’m grateful I got to be the one to do it, and am now friends with the ‘85 Royals.

Well, at least the #Royals being bad means fans can get my book to relive 1985 and 2015 on an even deeper level.

One I hope every sports reporter reads, because Stephanie seldom is acknowledged. Because of her, I never doubted there was a place for women in sports media. From @annkillion Stephanie Salter, pioneering sportswriter and S.F. columnist, dies at 76 www.sfchronicle.com/sports/artic...

I just want to say that the New York Mets are now 47-70 since playing "Kokomo" on the day Brian Wilson died last June. The curse no one is talking about.

It was my honor having Marshall on the show. Fine. I guess we can both share the honors. Really, though ... It was a terrific book written by Marshall and we had a fun, expansive conversation discussing it. I'd love to hear what you think if you wind up listening.

Today in 1950, the great Vin Scully calls the first game of his Dodger career during Brooklyn’s 9-1 Opening Day loss to the Phillies. Scully joins HOFer Red Barber and Connie Desmond in the booth. His Dodger career will last 67 years, remarkably broadcasting over 9,000 games.

When I got my first full-time job as a sportswriter in 1989, my first interview and article was a feature on a 17-year-old shooting guard from Kennedy High School in Granada Hills named Garret Anderson.

I'm absolutely stunned that he could be gone so young, and so sorry for his loved ones.

Absolutely stunned to hear of the sudden passing of Garret Anderson. Anderson spent one season with the Dodgers but was an Angels legend - career leader in games played and hits, 3-time AS, 2-time SS, and WS champ in 2002. Thoughts go out to his family, friends, and fans.

Always is AWFUL. I think it’s his worst. 1941 is a great technical movie, but a failure as a comedy.

In my 2018 Spielberg ranking, only Always, BFG and Crystal Skull ranked lower than this dirge.

I did a ranking of all of his movies in 2018, and I placed this one near the bottom. One of the few of his I don’t like. So hollow and at times just inane.
