@JoshuaPotash @SteveKerr These displays of unity across the nation must be taken to the polls in November. And let's not think for a second it will solve everything. In fact, it will deepen the divide in our country. But at it least it will give us a chance to heal and take steps on the road to harmony.

You've heard this before from me, but it bears repeating (because I've been saying it for 20 years): If my life depended on one baseball game, Dave Stewart starts and Eck finishes (if Stew lets him). Stew wins 2-1 or 6-5, no matter. I live. @Dsmoke34

@marymcraig @susanslusser My take: He laughed because until Hendricks said something he had no idea that it looked like that. And then he repeated the gesture, for himself, to confirm that it did look like that. I knew Ryan a little back in the day. This would have been way out of character.
