What is the Cleveland connection Jim? I am really enjoying this series. Blue Jays fan for sure.

As a native of the Toronto area, I have always cheered for the Jays, ever since that first ever game (in 1977, in a snowstorm). So I was VERY happy watching last night. So was my wife - despite being from a family that refer to themselves as multi-generational Yankees-haters who used to be Dodgers fans, the LA Dodgers bear little resemblance to Da Bums.

GO JAYS!!!

Is it even legal? The donor is an oligarch straight from the gilded era - another nepokid who never had to work for his money https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/oct/25/timothy-mellon-donor-military-pay-shutdown.

The corporations and executives who're wealthy due to military payments, could have decided to give some of it back.

Yes, go Jays! (I still think it's the Brooklyn Dodgers, anyway.) Thanks for the tips ... all of them!
