Here’s an awesome video of a bunch of kids from New York City sharing their thoughts on the New York Yankees releasing The Great Bambino, Babe Ruth. Crazy to think these lads are like 8-12 years old and they probably could kick my ass without breaking a sweat. The year is 1935x.

Credit where it’s due (and I dare say more than a few other publications would do well to actually do so) - John has been absolutely unbelievable on the media beat for Capital Brief for ages. Genuinely top of the game. If you’re not following him you’re missing out
