THE SANDLOT was released in 1993, takes place in 1962, and the kids idolize Babe Ruth.
A modern remake would take place in the 1990s, and the kids would idolize Henry Aaron.
(A very funny version would take place today, with the kids idolizing Barry Bonds. He could have a cameo!)

Apple’s Sports app has a lot going for it — clean design, loads fast — but it makes jarring errors.
It feels like it was made entirely by non-sports fans. Kinda endearing in a way

If you're a pro baseball-only person, you might not know who Tony Vitello is. Lucky for you, I do, and I'm very excited about the prospect of him managing a major league team, and, well, why post when you can blog?
The Giants Are Circling the Most Interesting Managerial Hire in Decades
What would the Giants get if they hire Tony Vitello? And can they give this college coach the tools he needs to win?

This is a fascinating article
I wish it mentioned grade inflation; assuming it’s high there?
With recession maybe coming and student population decline, tough times ahead for colleges. This is one way to deal with that, tho I wonder how sustainable it is

I'm quoted in this Wall Street Journal piece on High Point University, which has gone all-in on amenities (a $40,000-per year housing and dining plan!) to attract modest-achieving, high-income students.
How a Small North Carolina College Became a Magnet for Wealthy Students
As Trump slashes funding, schools are trying to attract the limited pool of higher-end families. High Point University is a blueprint.
