As usual, Iโ€™m late on news. After 11 years @SINow, I'm joining the front office of the @LAClippers. Official title: Executive Director of Research & Identity. Unofficial: valet for Jerry West. This doesnโ€™t mean I won't write again. But when I do, Iโ€™ll know more about the subject.

We have lost one of the greatest players and personalities that this franchise, this sport and this region have ever known. Bill Walton is synonymous with Southern California basketball: a San Diego native, a UCLA phenom, a Clipper icon. He defined the game as a player, a

Thanks for sharing, Lee. That day, @MarkKreidler and Pedro had a running joke that Rio and I would face off late in the game. This happened and you can see how Pedro was as thrilled for me as he wouldโ€™ve been had Rio punched me out. Selfless man with a lot of joy to give. RIP โค๏ธ

Last memory of Pedro was at a UCLA-Arizona baseball game at Jackie Robinson Stadium. His son, Rio, was pitching for AZ. Ryan Kreidler, son of @MarkKreidler, was hitting for UCLA. "What a win for sportswriters," he said. Today, what a loss.

Two years ago, a car killed a man on a baseball field in Maine. In that moment, a 50-year-old secret was exposed, and the fates of 3 generations of 3 families became entwined. Here, at @espn, and at 7 PM tonight, on @E60, is their story. https://t.co/o5GnqNndzb
