50 years ago…embarked on the journey the afternoon of the 9th. At 7pm the main hatchway gave in” on November 10th.

Will be aviv 4th down. Make it and the Lions should have the ball the rest of the half and likely pick up points. Fail and Commanders will have a possession to get back in it.

Wasn’t that a quick whistle? Were still pushing forward.

Ideal 1st quarter (apart from the Sewell scare).

It’s like Jeopardy. It’s all about hitting the buzzer quickest.

Damn, cuts to a commercial with the biggest cliffhanger ever.

Bears are going to scrape out another one?

Bertuzzi makes it 3-1. A blah weekend of Red Wings hockey so far.

Wings are trailing 2-1 late in the 2nd so need to take advantage of this 4-minute powerplay.

Connor Bedard putting up numbers this season. His 9th gives the Hawks an early 1–0 lead over the Wings.

Rangers are 0-5-1 at MSG, 7-1-1 on the road.

Two quick goals within a minute and the Rangers have busted it open

Wings back home, down 2-1 to the Rangers late 2nd. A lot of alumni floating around, as there has been a fan fest these few days for the Wings’ 100th.

Speaking of disposable numbers, but for indispensable players, here at the 5:00 mark is Trammell wearing #69 in spring training in 1977. Whitaker is spotted at 2:30, but I can't make out his number. Parrish is already in his #13 at 6:37. Bittersweet seeing so much of Fidrych in that, as it would have been just weeks or even days before his injury.

Here's Logan beating out an infield hit at 27:24. Rod Allen laughs and says "when you've got that kind of speed, you're going to be rewarded" and adds "I would expect Logan to try to steal here". "If he can master the art of hitting the ball down the ground ... and utilizing his speed, he's going to have a bright future". At 29:10 Logan goes from 1st to 3rd on a single by Polanco to left. Logan scores on a bases loaded sac fly by Craig Monroe at 33:10. At 1:50:45 Logan hits his first of two career home runs, which would be his only one as a Tiger.

At the 37:55 mark of this clip, Nook Logan is in as a pinch runner for Rondell White. Logan is then called by the color guy "probably the fastest man on the team, for both teams". Logan goes from 1st to 3rd on a single at 39:15. Logan scores at the 42:05 when Brandon Inge beats out a potential double play ball.

At 1:03:05 of this clip ESPN's broadcast announces the news that Sanchez tested positive for PEDs.

Here's Sanchez bunting for a leadoff, first pitch base hit at the 10min 10s mark. He steals 2nd at the 11min 40s mark. Then at the 1:13:40 mark he bunts in a run home from 3rd base!

As a Canadian, it will be interesting to see who is our Olympic goalie. Binnington will probably start the opening game, but surely Logan Thompson will at least make the roster this year. If not, he must have done something we don't know about to tick off Team Canada brass.

Love the candid insight from Rojas as to what was going through his mind as the 9th inning play at the plate unfolded.

He played the 1936 season for the Tigers after being bought from the White Sox for $75,000. “Simmons showed he was still a force to be reckoned with, batting .327 with 13 home runs, 38 doubles, 96 runs scored, and 112 RBIs”. https://www.vintagedetroit.com/when-tigers-got-al-simmons-another-world-series-title-seemed-likely/?srsltid=AfmBOoq6XV6ItgWK8eK5LD4sUkL_v3bhMu23N1szWjr03S1rxKg8_Q7F
