Dave Kingman unloads — the 1979 home run champion, Wrigley Field. Kong's finest season: 48 homers to lead the majors, with a .288 average, 115 RBIs, and the National League's best OPS and slugging percentage. On May 17 he launched a legendary 550-foot blast clean out of Wrigley and across Waveland Avenue — then, in the same day's 23-22 Phillies-Cubs slugfest, went deep three times with six RBIs. He edged Mike Schmidt (45) for the crown in a year when no one else topped 34.

"the Republicans say certain things that I really agree with and then they lose me on a lot on social stuff. The Democrats say a lot of things I agree with me and then they lose me so much because they refuse to admit certain things" More people are finding themselves politically homeless. Even @JimNorton finds himself stuck in the middle. Watch the full interview on Rumble, YouTube, Facebook, and right here on X.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers released Damn the Torpedoes 47 years ago today, on October 19, 1979. Getting it out took a fight. When ABC Records was sold to MCA, Tom argued his contract couldn't be handed over without his say, and when MCA sued, he declared bankruptcy to get out of it. It ended with a new deal on Backstreet, an MCA label. Jimmy Iovine co-produced it at Sound City and Cherokee, and it gave them "Refugee," "Don't Do Me Like That" and "Here Comes My Girl." It sat at No. 2 for seven weeks behind Pink Floyd's The Wall. "I love Pink Floyd," Tom said, "but I hated them that year." 🎸 Favorite track on Damn the Torpedoes: Refugee, Here Comes My Girl, Even the Losers or Don't Do Me Like That? 🎸 👇️
