Larry Millson was like an encyclopedia of Toronto sports. He knew just about every thing and everyone. Ive known him for almost half of his 83 years, most recently from the third row of the Blue Jays press box. He always had a story to tell or a story to write. Rest easy pal.

Was an important figure in Blue Jays history. He worked years for the Jays in player assistance. RIP Sudden Sam.
RIP Sam McDowell. Longtime Giants fans recall one of worst trades in team history: Gaylord Perry to Cleveland for McDowell, who had been 6x All-Star but showed little in SF as he dealt w/alcoholism. He later turned his life around and helped others w/addictions. He was 84.

You’re an amazing man, Peter, with amazing family support and friends. As a longtime diabetic, with a 20 month old grandson, I’m cheering for you from north of the 49th parallel.
Finally ready to go public with a very personal update:
I’m still standing after a March leg amputation.
(And I will be WALKING my daughter down the aisle later this month)!
Please read and share.

What a night for the Canadians on the Carolina Panthers. A 100 plus yards and two touchdown runs for Chuba Hubbard. Three catches and 37 yards for John Metchie Jr.

So happy to hear that Jack Armstrong is back for more Raptors and basketball calls in the future. In a year in which we said goodbye to legends like Joe Bowen and Buck Martinez, we needed to have Jack back for more Raptors calls.

My column on the new NHL season and asking: is this the year Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl finally win the Stanley Cup? And will it be a Florida-Edmonton Cup Final for the third time in four years?
From @simmonssteve: Will this be the year that Connor McDavid finally wins the Stanley Cup?

What a wonderful ending for Justin Verlander in Detroit. His daughter ran out to the mound to remove him from his last major league game.
Here's the column I wrote on Verlander the other day from a 1-on-1 interview I had in Toronto.
