RIP, Fantasy Focus Baseball pod. Such an enjoyable, bona fide & friendly part of my baseball season for the past decade. Much appreciated and will be greatly missed @SultanofStat@karabelleric @KyleSoppeESPN @MatthewBerryTMR@NateRavitz, et al.
Let them all in the HOF. Many suggest putting an asterisk on those suggested of PEDs. Alternative: the default to all plaques is no special demarcation. Instead give a badge of positive recognition to those deemed of exceptional character. @jaysonst@Buster_ESPN@Kurkjian_ESPN
@JeffPassan. This works not only for PEDs but a lot of other "bads" that have too long been discussed for the sport. Focusing on the positive would be a welcomed, and needed, chance of perspective for baseball's best and HOF.
Back in 2010, @cdixon wrote that the next big thing in technology often starts out looking like a toy. Microsoft buying Activision is the current $70B manifestation of the thesis. And it probably won't be the last, or richest, example. Pretty cool.

Here's the record setting stone skip (88 skips!?!) referenced in @Freakonomics re-broadcast this week ("How to Win Games and Beat People"). My younger self searching for double digits is humbled.

A great Harry Potter week for @ZachLowe_NBA! 2 references to apparating (1 in pod, 1 in 10 Things) and dresses up in character for Halloween. Lowe's Wizards (-3) over D.C.'s.
The @statcast led broadcast of Cubs - Rockies Wild Card game is exceptionally fun. Hope some of these features make it into more traditional broadcasts.
Of course Amazon's 2017 Letter to Shareholders is exactly 6 pages when printed (surprisingly though all past versions are not).

Some podcast episodes really stand out. This ep, about the idea, creation, launch and history of PTI, by @JimMiller, is one. Excellent. x.com/JimMiller/status/94856…
It took years to get @PTI launched on @ESPN / many in Bristol never thought it had a chance / Kornheiser scoffed at idea. What happened to change all of it? itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/…
