And probably the best inning of all time:
Lasorda managing the Dodgers, Kirk Gibson Captain for the Dodgers and badly injured, Dennis Eckersley on the mound for Oakland, Vin Scully calling the game. This is baseball at its best. I never get tired of this inning.

“…As Chris “Fredo” Cuomo of CNN put it during one of those undocumented shopping sprees, “Please, show me where it says protests have to be polite and peaceful.”
Let’s start with Gov. Charlie Baker. Never stand between Baker and a television camera (or the internet) when there’s an opportunity to virtue-signal.
Here was his press release Wednesday afternoon:
“I join with Americans from every corner of the country to condemn the violence unfolding at the Capitol, and President Trump and his supporters must do the same immediately.”
Now let’s go back to the riots of late May — remember those lawless mobs rampaging through downtown Boston on that Sunday night on live TV.
The thugs foraged from Newbury Street all the way to Downtown Crossing, looting jewelry and clothing stores, vandalizing buildings, and, in at least one case, shooting at Boston cops from a moving vehicle on Tremont Street across from the Common.
Millions of dollars in damages, at least 55 arrests.
Here was Charlie Parker’s verbatim play-by-play on the worst mass violence in Boston since busing:
“The vast majority, and I mean the vast majority of the people who were part of these protests are there to make a point and to make it peacefully. That is so obvious I’m amazed that anyone could say anything other than that, at least in Massachusetts.”
In other words, who are you gonna believe, Charlie Baker or your lyin’ eyes?
After that nonsense Charlie did mumble a few words about “bad actors,” but he quickly returned to his original theme: “These demonstrators … go there peacefully to engage in a peaceful demonstration.”…”
“…Merriam-Webster defines “uprising” as “a usually localized act of popular violence in defiance usually of an established government.”
So, here we have Nancy Pelosi, then the minority leader in the House of Representatives, now the speaker of the House, at the very least condoning, if not actually calling for a violent insurrection against the government in response to a policy—a policy that actually began under the Obama-Biden administration.
Not even Snopes could deny this one. Two former Obama administration officials have publicly acknowledged this fact. There is a lot of photographic evidence of migrant detention facilities during the Obama years, with children crowded in caged areas, sleeping on concrete floors, that just didn’t resonate with the media or the political Left until after Trump became president. It’s almost as though they were trying to protect Obama’s legacy.
But I digress. Nancy Pelosi isn’t the only Democrat who used violent rhetoric in the past. Stay tuned…”
