The New York Yankees have abandoned their half-century prohibition of beards, a policy that was archaic even from its infancy.

Because all hockey is local, @rebeccalobo asked if the Hartford Whalers or the Hartford Wolfpack coach just won the Stanley Cup.

Sure, why not. https://t.co/UoHhPKmtK2

Bill Walton once told me his Dad “was the most unathletic man I’ve ever seen.” Ted loved art, music and sang in the church choir. Bill’s Mom, Gloria, was a librarian, so Bill read voraciously. “My parents gave me the perfect life,” he said. “Opportunities to stimulate my mind.”
