Striking, exclusive new data from @BrookingsMetro underscores the solidifying D dominance of the most productive metro areas-even in red states. Metros Biden won generated more of state GDP than Trump metros in 35 states. More here. @amy_liuw @MarkMuro1 https://t.co/YvJZLjkFfD

Tweet about 35 years of Bull Durham
Bull Durham is an excellent film. It’s much more than a baseball movie.
From @TheAthletic: The classic baseball movie “Bull Durham” celebrated its 35th anniversary on Thursday. Can anyone think of a good gift?

“I have a closet full of candlesticks,’’ said Ron Shelton, who wrote and directed the movie. https://t.co/TgyEgHH9lQ
In the 1988 film "Bull Durham," the team's manager referred to his players as "lollygaggers."

To celebrate the movie's 35th anniversary, the modern-day Bulls will literally wear that reference as a badge of honor on Friday: https://t.co/9hiuY9jG41 pic.twitter.com/NPQrFT5kMm

I live in Baltimore but don’t recall this.

Gunnar Henderson hit the longest home run ever at Camden Yards
This Gunnar Henderson HR went 462 feet, per Statcast, and hit off the warehouse (right next to a window) on a hop. Wow. #Orioles https://t.co/TudPPqEQm1

Here's where Gunnar Henderson's 462-foot HR landed on Eutaw Street at Camden Yards. It bounced up and hit just to the right of the window directly above Boog's General Store. #Orioles pic.twitter.com/k4muGJcC6a

Gunnar Henderson's homer traveled an estimated 462 feet, so why is Jim Thome's plaque farther than Gunnar's will be?
