Earl Weaver passed way, so I gathered a bunch of photos, videos and stuff in tribute, including this, one of the funniest clips I’ve ever heard.
Anyone who knows me knows I have to have this Will Clark Jumbotron Portrait Gold Foil Print (via Etsy).

Help Wanted: Social News Editor, USA TODAY Sports
This is a great job, and we need someone great for it. Please pass it on.
USA TODAY Sports Media Group is looking for a talented, hard-working, forward-thinking lead editor to manage and develop USA TODAY Sports’ social news platform. This editor should have a track record of producing viral stories that spread across the web, resonating with sports fans and non-fans alike.
The editor will oversee social news coverage as well as a staff of dedicated contributors. Candidates should have a keen eye for identifying talent and a knack for developing that talent. They should also have experience with news teams operating on a 24-7 cycle and be comfortable in an environment that blends editorial judgment with data-driven solutions.
The work won’t be limited to USA TODAY Sports’ current digital offering. We’re transforming this part of the experience and looking for a leader to grow our capabilities in new and innovative ways.
This position is salaried with benefits and is based in Tysons Corner, VA (outside Washington, DC). Interested and qualified applicants should email jmottram@usatoday.com with “Social News Editor” in the subject line. Please summarize your vision, interest and relevant experience in 1-2 paragraphs. Do not add any attachments, like a resume.

I got to visit my daughter while in San Francisco. She works at Twitter, and one of the highlights of the trip (other than the fun of seeing her) was touring the office and getting to eat lunch in the cafeteria. Great benefit of working there: breakfast, lunch and dinner are free, and stupendous. (I had the grass-fed beef chili Americano, with heritage beans, and the tomato salad). Beer on tap there. No dessert. Hmmm. I saw no one with a beer at lunch, but I did see lots of different cold teas and flavored waters.
The layout of the office is conducive to exchanging ideas, with big tables and employees sitting at their desktops, and a ping pong table in a lounge nearby, with coffee and energy bars and … well, let’s just say it’s not the kind of office I’ve ever worked in before. The thought process at Twitter seems smart: Make it a good place to work, a comfortable place where you enjoy spending hours a day, and you’re probably going to be a productive employee.
