Looking forward to writing stories like this for @UMSL Daily … Jesse Frey, a senior here, invented a patent-pending hat-retention system for his motorcycle after he lost his favorite hat driving up the PCH. What a great idea and execution of his vision. blogs.umsl.edu/news/2024/04/2…

A little heads-up: Adam Wainwright is back on this evening at 8 p.m. EST.

Adam Wainwright made his MLB Network analyst debut Opening Week, and I had the chance to write a behind-the-scenes piece for Scoops Sports Network. So much fun. Give it a read: scoopswithdannymac.com/wainos-new-ope…

My brother-in-law Jeff was diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer a few days after Thanksgiving. His funeral was today. Great guy. Caring, loving, generous. He will be missed by so many people.

Get your colonoscopy, folks. Don’t put it off. Please.

Why do photography sessions like this matter? This is Miss Betty, who has been on the Can’s Can meal route for four years. She’s in hospice care now, after a battle with cancer. Here, she’s posing for photos with her daughters.

Moments matter.

This is is wild. Great stuff.

Naturally, the team with the most qualified batters on one team to do so is also the White Sox. In 1908, they had 8. Every regular + John Anderson. Third baseman Lee Tannehill was the exception.

Last AL/NL team with six+? The 1918 St. Louis Browns.
