Yeah. He was bat boy for Russia in the 88 Olympics.

This is fascinating, Dave. Thanks for writing it.

Pablo Sandoval is really hitting his stride this spring

Nothing has ever hurt Maradona’s feelings more than seeing this.

I liked Grantland but I think the reason I miss it is the same reason I miss the pizza place I went to in high school. That place served incredible food at really affordable prices and everyone wondered how they did it.
