Looks like I was right. @BravesStats did the research and it confirms that Miz of the @Brewers is the first pitcher ever in @MLB history with a Maddux thrown and a Game Score of at least 100. Kid is insane.

On June 12, 1963, a WWII veteran was shot in the back in his own driveway while his wife and children hid inside. It took 31 years to convict his killer. Medgar Evers stormed Normandy at 19. He came home to Mississippi and was turned away from voting at gunpoint. So he dedicated his life to the NAACP: investigating the Emmett Till murder, organizing boycotts, registering Black voters. He knew it would kill him. "If I die, it will be in a good cause," he said. Hours before his death, President Kennedy gave his historic civil rights address on national TV. Evers came home after midnight carrying NAACP T-shirts that read "Jim Crow Must Go." Byron De La Beckwith was waiting across the street with a rifle. The details still stop your heart. Evers was initially refused admission at the local hospital because he was Black. He died there 50 minutes later, the first Black man ever admitted, too late. Beckwith was tried twice in 1964. Two all-white juries deadlocked. He spent decades free, bragging about it at Klan rallies. That bragging became evidence. In 1994, new testimony and a new jury finally convicted him. He died in prison. Medgar Evers is buried at Arlington with full military honors. He was 37 years old. He died 63 years ago today. Remember him.

BREAKING: Shohei Ohtani underwent an MRI on his left knee and it came back CLEAN 🙏 He’s expected to DH later this weekend and pitch next week at home. Thank goodness.
