R.I.P. Robert Redford to passed away today at the age of 89. Of the many movies he hit a home run starring in was The Natural.

The shooting in The Natural was based on the real-life shooting of Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Eddie Waitkus in 1949 by Ruth Ann Steinhagen, an obsessed fan.

The fictional character Roy Hobbs was shot by Harriet Bird, a serial stalker who committed su***de after the act. While Waitkus returned to play baseball for another 11-year career, Hobbs' fictional comeback was more legendary, marked by a heroic, game-winning home run.

Aaron Judge is climbing the legends list within the Yankees franchise. Friday night, 09/12, Judge crushed his 362nd home run against Boston at Fenway surpassing Joltin Joe DiMaggio to become the New York Yankees 4th All-Time Leading Home Run Hitter - trailing only The Bambino Babe Ruth, The Mick Mickey Mantle, and the Iron Horse Lou Gehrig! That’s pretty good company!

Congratulations, Aaron Judge! 🧢🎈⚾️🥳👏🧢

Shout out to Take a Hike Walking Tours in collaboration with Monroe Street Cemetery Foundation - Cleveland Ohio for an intriguing and free tour of the Monroe Street Cemetery last night.

This public cemetery has grave sites dating as far back as possibly 1818 but the most readable one dates to 1827. There are 500+ people in this cemetery with some having served in the American Revolution, the War of 1812, the Mexican-American War, the Civil War, the Spanish-American War and both World Wars.

The archway/entrance and gatehouse are architectural masterpieces built in 1874 and 1876 respectively. Since there are over 25 different species of trees, this cemetery is also a Level 1 Arboretum. In fact, there was one very errie-looking tree there referred to as the umbrella tree but may have been planted as part of a German tradition by German family members of one of the interred such as the Linden Tree. Exactly what this tree is, is not known but, appears to be a grafted marvel.

Thanks again to Ronny, Tommy, and Lesley for an enjoyable evening learning more of Cleveland’s historical past.

The Legend, the original “Rocky”.

Rocky Marciano — Undefeated Champion
Born September 1, 1923, in Brockton, Massachusetts, Rocky Marciano would have turned 102 today. He retired as the only heavyweight champion to finish his career undefeated: 49–0 with 43 knockouts.

Known for his relentless pressure, iron chin, and blue-collar grit, Marciano’s name remains one of the most respected in boxing history.

We celebrate you, Rocky.

Ever eaten at a Ford's Garage Restaurant? This go-to burger and brew franchase was founded on 2012 with the first being opened in Fort Myers, Florida, less than a mile from Henry Ford’s winter home. They are as an official licensee of the Ford Motor Company.

A few years back, we visited one near The Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, MI and now have eaten at the one here in Cincinnati, OH. I had a great Mushroom Swiss with a Strawberry shake and Dana had the Estate Burger. Hers was even branded with the Ford’s Garage Logo - how cool. We had a great time! Food and service was terrific!
