Dome Pondering Import - 1995 ALDS, Game 2: Mattingly Homers in Postseason

Unfortunately, Game 3 of the 2014 ALCS between the Baltimore Orioles and the Kansas City Royals was rained out today, thus breaking the baseball binge I have been on as of late. I am going through some withdrawal (already!) so I figured I would post one of my first and favorite memories of post-season baseball. 1995 was truly special, and sometimes I wish Mattingly stuck around just long enough to be a part of some of the dynasty years. With that said, here its, in one of my favorite calls ever in sports, "Ohhhhhh hang on to the roof!":

WWE Wrestlemania XL Review: "I absolutely loved this Wrestlemania"

It's easy to get caught up and become a prisoner of the moment. Especially in today's world where the latest moment is ostracized, super-analyzed, and hyperbolized - it's very much the clickbait, social media, microwave society we live in. Yet, even after acknowledging that (as well as my Tribal Chief, of course), I still come to this feeling that Wrestlemania XL is one of the best Wrestlemania's, ever. Yes, ever!

(and the league-wide Spanish jerseys are fine). And please, please - PLEASE - let's finally do away with the awful green jerseys we feel the need to wear on Christmas and St. Patrick's day! Pretty please!"
