TCM just had a day full of these Man From UNCLE movies. And I recorded every one.

No, I'm not bringing anything ostentatious to the house warming, just a little candle holder. It goes with anything.

"fist-faced serial bungler Jimmy Haslam..." I LOLed.

look, when you can hire the guy who helped trade for and pay Deshaun Watson, you simply have to do it

Hey podcast people, I love talking baseball whenever and wherever. Yeah I’ve got a business, but I’ve also been researching the origins and evolution of scoring in baseball so I’m full of history too! If you need off season content please consider me 🙏🙏

My wife actually said to our toddler once, "I don't care if you just had a bath, you can't drag your bare ass across the living room carpet!" (One of the things they never tell you about parenthood is that sometimes you find yourself saying the strangest things without even thinking twice.)

Looks like the Guardians will have to take this out of storage and repaint it.

Guy who watches football: I should hire the dude who has been leading the Cleveland Browns to run my baseball team.

I was familiar with the Obama story, but I had to go look the other one up, and wow is it a ride.

I used to live in Carnegie.

#Funfact: Robert Pine was the voice of the bishop in "Frozen."

Also, the mayor's wife in "The Taking of Pelham One Two Three." "It's a lot of money, but think of what you'll get for it ... 18 sure votes."

I am absolutely saving this for a headline.

One of our reporters is getting married next month, and he's currently soliciting opinions on whether he should rent a T-shirt cannon for the reception. (There will already be T-shirts; he's just pondering distribution options.) There's no place like a newsroom.

This Thursday is the premiere of "Death By Lightning" -- a new Netflix miniseries about President James Garfield. I wrote about it for @clevelandmag.bsky.social clevelandmagazine.com/articles/pre...

But he couldn’t catch the torso killer.

On this day in 1918, Robert William Feller was born in Van Meter, IA. Considered one of the best pitchers of his era, I still think he’s under-appreciated today. Here’s my painting of the great man after dealing to Joe Kuhel on April 16, 1940–the first Opening Day no-hitter in history.

Today is Bob Feller's 107 birthday, so let's do something different: For my newsletter, I posted a passage that I cut from "Our Team" that gives a little more flavor to Feller's famed 1946 barnstorming tour. If you ever wanted more "Our Team," here you go: lepplin.substack.com/p/bob-feller...

This photo, taken 18 years ago today by the late, great Joe Boyle, combines two of my great loves: My wife and cake.

This is your periodic reminder that until I saw “Mary Poppins” when I was 8, I thought Arthur Treacher was a guy who sold fish and chips.

Larry Doby was the second African American player in Major League Baseball, the first in the American League. He was the second African American to serve as a manager. He managed the Chicago White Sox in 1978; three years after Frank Robinson managed the Cleveland Indians.

Bears won. Chuck (a Bengals fan) is absolutely beside himself.

Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper www.irishexaminer.com/sport-column...

My daughter’s auditioning for a play tonight. I tried to give her a pep talk, but the best I could do was the line from “Patton”: “If we are not victorious, let no one come back alive!” My wife said it was a bit much.

My brother, at our great-aunt’s funeral: “That tie is hideous. Did I buy it for you?”

This is actually a great way for me to get story ideas. I fall down a rabbit hole and say, “This is wild. I wonder if I could get someone to pay me to write about it.” And in a decent amount of instances, I can.

don't forget ... fall back!

And then there’s #Browns fans, who prove the line from “The Dark Knight.” What doesn’t kill you makes you stranger.
