I suspect this will be the main topic of discussion this weekend at Fado's. Going to the official Man United Chicago Supporters bar with our author Paul Banks on Sunday (kickoff 10:30am). He's signing and selling his great book "Transatlantic Passage" https://t.co/XZSvc1Cp8q https://t.co/PUKYZiPx3I

Sparky
Happy 127th bday to Sparky Adams, an energetic little (5’5″) lead-off man. Adams spent 1923-24 as the Cubs’ semi-regular SS, but came into his own when he was switched to 2B 1925-27. He was the main trade bait that brought HOFer KiKi Cuyler to Cubs. #hesinthere #everyCubever pic.twitter.com/pNo2CqBXIH

Hey Jude
On this day (August 26th) in 1968 — the same day that the Democratic National Convention opened — the Beatles released “Hey Jude.”

National Dog Day
National Dog Day. This is Ivy. She's been with our family now for more than a decade. She's a little slower and can't hear too well anymore, but the greeting I get from her every time I come home is one of my favorite things in the world.

Nevermind
Over the years I've wondered about how this kid must feel. The Nirvana baby, from Nevermind, is now 30. He's not cool with it. https://t.co/mNL29HMMbt

RIP Don Everly
At age 14, I first saw the Everly Brothers at the 1958 Alan Freed Christmas Show at the Paramount Theatre in Times Square. Their music is seminal in the history of our time. There is nothing more beautiful than the Everly Brothers’ harmonies. Thank you Don Everly. pic.twitter.com/3J8rVTp6ba
