Weekend winners
Bobby Bonilla. We annually celebrate Bobby Bonilla Day, July 1, when Bonilla goes to the mailbox and gets his $1.19 million check for the deferred payments the Mets owe him. Here’s the background, but hope everyone enjoyed Bobby Bo Day on Saturday.
Rickie Fowler. What a great win for what seems to be a really good dude on Tour. Rickie’s facial hair, friend or foe? Throughout the interview I was waiting for him to say, “Today’s the day you almost caught Capt. Jack Sparrow.”
America. Birthday weekend. Supreme Court wisdom. Fireworks galore. Cookouts and family. Great stories of great citizens like this one from TFP all-around ace Mark Kennedy, who tells of a former WWII pilot who celebrated his 100th birthday.
Shohei. What more can we say at this point? Truly. Dude hit a 460-foot homer over the weekend and now has a MLB-best 31.
