50 years ago today, April 20, 1976: Pitcher Mark Fidrych made his Major League debut with the Detroit Tigers. By year's end, "The Bird" had become a national sensation with his eccentric behavior and refreshing child-like personality. He was voted 1976 A.L. Rookie of the Year.

Fidrych grew up in the town and played on the baseball field as a youth in the sixties. The plaque was dedicated by the Northborough Historical Society in 2017. (Andy Bass photo, 2025)

One of the things about @ElvisCostello that has made him stand out over the years is his desire to collaborate with others. Paul McCartney, Burt Bacharach, George Jones, The Roots, Alain Toussaint, Lucinda Williams, T Bone Burnett - to name just a few. #elviscostello

BREAKING : This is Stupidity at best 🤣 Journalist –– You said Iranians want bombings to continue. Why would they want their own country destroyed? 🇺🇸 Trump –– "They are most unhappy when bombs stop. They want to be free" 😭 Bombs make people free? Free from what? Free from the world?

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

Trump has not ended eight wars. Among other problems with his list, it includes: - A diplomatic dispute between Egypt and Ethiopia that was not a war - Some sort of mystery situation between Serbia and Kosovo that also was not a war - The war in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo that has not ended despite a Trump administration-brokered peace agreement never signed by the rebel group leading the fighting

Dear President Trump, It would be more than appropriate for you to order flags lowered in honor of the passing of civil rights icon Jesse Jackson. Regardless of personal politics, most Americans would agree he deserves gracious recognition. Thank you, Geraldo Rivera

I was attacked for exposing Bondi, but I noticed something... He says I’m “fighting aimlessly AGAINST a hopeless agenda of Hate and Stupidity” If I’m fighting against an “agenda of Hate and Stupidity” isn’t that a good thing? Let’s go! Help me fight! secure.thomasmassie.com/dona…

Are "legitimate federal law enforcement agencies" run by people who take $50,000 in cash in a paper bag?

So apparently white Americans in Minneapolis are putting Mexican flags on their cars so ICE agents waste time pulling them over. They call it ICE fishing. 🤣😂

One last comment on pitchers like Mickey Lolich…you would watch him, Gibson, Bunning, Seaver, Jenkins, Hunter , Ryan , Tanana, Tiant, pitch and get a tutorial on how to pitch, not be a thrower…one year, Mickey pitched back to starts against the Orioles, both wins, and all of us Orioles were amazed that he only threw 2 pitches in the middle of the plate… that’s pitching..
