POWERFUL: Indiana #Hoosiers WR Charlie Becker shared a message about God after scoring the game-winning touchdown in overtime against Minnesota. “It’s really in those hard times, those dark moments where God’s walking right with you” 🙏❤️

13 years ago tonight, on October 30, 2013, the Boston Red Sox won the World Series at Fenway Park. And it was glorious.

Regarded by many as one of the best written, best acted scenes in Sitcom history. PHILIP BAKER HALL delivers an all-time performance as ‘Lt. Bookman’ —The Library Cop, a role that changed this hugely talented Actor’s life & career forever.

I’d like to see @Apple and @johnternus bring the iPod classic back!
Apple releases its new portable digital music player, the iPod. It has 5GB of space and 10 hours of battery life.

A key part of the Nick Esasky trade that began my 35-year boycott of the @Reds (ended by the Reds hiring of Terry Francona). I’ll always remember Marty’s call: “Benzinger backing and calling… and the 1990 world championship belongs to the Cincinnati Reds!” RIP Todd Benzinger
The Cincinnati Reds are saddened by the passing of former first baseman and 1990 World Series champion Todd Benzinger. Todd will be remembered with great affection and gratitude for his place in one of the most memorable chapters in Reds history. Our deepest condolences go out to his family, friends, former teammates and all who knew and loved him.

David Ortiz tips back a giant bottle of champagne in the Fenway Park clubhouse — the night the Boston Red Sox finished off the St. Louis Cardinals to win the 2013 World Series, October 30, 2013. Big Papi owned that Series: a .688 batting average, two home runs, and so little interest from St. Louis pitchers by the end that they walked him four times in the clincher alone. Boston won Game 6, 6-1, capturing a title at Fenway for the first time in 95 years — six months after Ortiz told a grieving city, "This is our city," and then went out and played like it. He was the runaway Series MVP, and it wasn't close. ⚾ Ortiz's 2013 — the most dominant Series ever? 👇️

It was quite a ride.
On October 20, 2004, the Red Sox won game 7 of the ALCS to complete the greatest comeback in history. I hadn't slept in a week. Everything was a blur. I'd been days without solid food and my body composition was 75% Bud Light. It was unquestionably the greatest time of my life.
