The ballot is out for the Contemporary Era Hall of Fame election next month. Bonds and Clemens get another chance. Fernando is on for the first time. Mattingly (8 votes) and Murphy (6) got some traction last time around.

The @ATGUSAMade Buddy Sled is a specific solution I kneeded for a school I’ve been helping. For my own workouts, I use the resisted treadmill - and all my shoes and equipment are on sale for the holidays! This video also covers the history of sled dragging:

This is absolutely heartbreaking. Setti was a special presence who cared so deeply about all he was involved with. Devastating.
It's with profound sadness we share that Setti Warren, Director of the Institute of Politics, has passed away. Setti was a beloved member of our community, and we're devastated by this heartbreaking news.
