Kurt Elling
I have two favorite moments from this interview. Kurt's story about former President Obama, and his surprise brush with Tom Waits. Fun interview. https://t.co/xlkjWOkfBt

Grin
George Washington Bradley was born on this day 1852, during the Millard Filmore administration. Bradley pitched for the #Cubs in their second National League season. His nickname was Grin. Before coming to the Cubs he pitched the first no-hitter in NL history. #everyCubever pic.twitter.com/Mbw5iaRhY8

Footsie
Born 121 years ago today: Footsie Blair. He played his entire major league career with the Cubs (only three seasons 1929-1931). His teammates dubbed him Footsie because he pioneered the “intentional boot” play, where he kicked grounders to proper base. #everyCubever pic.twitter.com/QIY2ufF4oq

Bob Stroud
My old buddy Bob Stroud is on the HOF ballot. From Robert Feder's column...
Chicago radio treasure Bob Stroud is on the ballot again this year for the Radio Hall of Fame. The top-rated midday star and host of the long-running “Rock ’n Roll Roots” on Hubbard Radio classic rock WDRV 97.1-FM is a repeat nominee along with “Wait Wait . . . Don’t Tell Me!,” the NPR comedy-quiz show produced by Chicago Public Media WBEZ 91.5-FM. They’re among 24 personalities and programs whose nominations were announced today in six categories. (Here is the link to a complete list.) “I’m so thrilled to recognize our 2021 nominees, and look forward to our upcoming in-person induction ceremony in Chicago Thursday, October 28,” Kraig Kitchin, chairman of the Radio Hall of Fame, said in a statement. “We’ll not only welcome 2021 inductees, but we will also welcome and honor the 2020 inductee class on that special evening this fall.” The Radio Hall of Fame is based at Chicago’s Museum of Broadcast Communications.
