So, tonight.

N.L. East: Washington can clinch the division with a win or an Atlanta loss.

N.L. Central: Sorted.

N.L. West: Sorted.

N.L. Wild Card: St. Louis can clinch the second spot with a win and a Los Angeles loss.

A.L. East: Nothing can be sorted tonight.

A.L. Central: Detroit can…

YAY, BASEBALL!

A lot of people in my office are going nuts about football, but their priorities are all out of whack. 

I am looking forward to some nail-biting post-season games enjoyed with pumpkin beer and friends who appreciate a good sport ;-)

Not even the shortage of colors on a New York City MetroCard stops Nina Boesch from creating these incredibly life-like mosaics from the often-discarded subway pass.

So much cool New York-centric art coming to my attention today. First these mind-boggling collages, and now this.

humansofnewyork: Not sure that I’ve ever been so honored to introduce someone as I am right now. Gac Filipaj is a refugee from the former Yugoslavia. For the past twelve years, he has worked as a janitor for Columbia University.  His job title is “Heavy Cleaner,” which includes emptying the trash and cleaning the toilets.  During this time, he worked until 11pm every night during the week.  After his shift concluded, he would start studying.  This weekend, after twelve years of study, Gac graduated from Columbia University with a Classics degree.  Rarely have so many qualities I admire been wrapped up in a single person. such an amazing story. gives me chills.

I think the ratio of real legit baseball questions and random ridiculous stuff is pretty respectable. 

…not listed, the seemingly ungoogle-able question—how long is the longest any player has been on one mlb team? Just found this, but now I want to know the answers forcurrently active players.
