Congrats to Venezuela on a memorable #WBC victory! One thing that stood out to me was the passion, fire, and joy they played with. This contrasted heavily with the all business “travel ball” arrogance of the US. I hope future teams will embrace the pure love of the game mentality. More thoughts soon

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.
