Have you ever wondered why some constitutions are amended more than others? Is it all about amendment rules? (Spoiler - nope!) My co-authors @JoeFCozza , Dave Armstrong, and @amandajofriesen tackle this question in our š @apsrjournal article. š§µ1/7 https://t.co/AsmZMwWjsC

Team with Championship aspirations takes the field at Camden Yards in mid October. Just as we planned.
Orioles' Camden Yards is prepped and ready for the Rams, fresh off beating the Ravens yesterday, to practice this week before they head to England. šø: @KRichardsonMMA

Itās the last Saturday of the regular season, and that means baseball announcers will use the word āpenultimateā a lot. Say the magic word @kevinnbrown, @realbenmcdonald, @GeoffOnTheAir, and @BrettHollander!

45 years a fan. 25 years a season ticket holder. And the @Orioles front office just doesnāt care. Loyalty should mean something. Birdland deserves better. ā¾š ā« @DM_Rubenstein #orioles #baltimore #mlb

Hey @Jared_Carrabis, for your next ad readā¦
Ryan Mountcastle saved the baseball from the last out to give to Tomoyuki Sugano to commemorate his first MLB win. Sugano thanked Mountcastle for the gesture and then walked out of the clubhouse with two Blue Moons in hand.

āBaseball just a game, as simple as a ball and bat. Yet, as complex as the American spirit it symbolizes. A sport, a business and sometimes almost even a religion.ā On this high holy day, let us say thanks be to Ernie Harwell and play ball!
