Sorry to learn of the passing of ESPN legend Dan Davis. In 2020 The Athletic assembled a cast of broadcasting luminaries for a list of Boston’s Top 20 Play-by-Play Calls in History. His call of the Flutie-to-Phelan pass was #6. nytimes.com/athletic/1703602…. nytimes.com/athletic/1703602…

The 20 greatest broadcast calls in Boston sports history (Gift Article)

From "Havlicek stole the ball!" to "intercepted at the goal line by Malcolm Butler," Boston has had more than its share of big calls.

Delightful column from @BuckinBoston on Efton Chism, his unusual name, and the bonds of a family. Free to read here: nytimes.com/athletic/7694192…

Everyone knows Efton Chism III plays for the Patriots. Even better, his grandfather knew it, too...

The second-year receiver will always cherish the memory of a visit home to Monroe, Wash., as he began his NFL journey.

Tremendous column from Tyler. People in the game need to listen.

It’s the postseason. Why is it suddenly so dangerous to let a good starter keep rolling? A column from a Red Sox fiasco in the Bronx: nytimes.com/athletic/7648499…

Red Sox become latest playoff team to get burned for rigid bullpen blueprint

Can’t we just let the big boys pitch? It worked for a century or so. Now it's time to restore the starting pitcher to prominence.

Just landed in Ft Myers. Time to take a step back and enjoy watching 17 yr old kids play this great game. Thanks to everyone for following along this yr on @NESN. We had some fun. It was an honor to be part of the @NBCSports Post Season coverage, just not the end we were hoping 4

I know we have bigger problems in the world, but that big red and yellow pizza sign at Camden Yards is taking up too much of my NESN screen.

This was an absolute laser beam by @LouMerloni at Thursday night’s Oldtime Baseball Game. Stunning to see how well he, Rich Hill, Manny Delcarmen and Jake Peavy meshed with the younger players. Donations still coming in but so far it’s over $70,000 for The Boston Home.

After acquiring Tarik Skubal, the Dodgers are ripe for the ripping. This is not new. It’s tradition. Every sport needs an "Evil Empire."

My favorite Eddie Andelman memory dates back to when I was about 15 and Eddie, Mark and Jim made an appearance at the newly-opened Radio Shack in Central Square in Cambridge. For my buddies and me it was like the Beatles had come to our neighborhood. RIP Eddie.

In 1987, the manager of the Seattle Mariners’ Bellingham club in the Northwest League was Rick Sweet. One of his players was Ken Griffey Jr., now in the @baseballhall. And Sweet? Still managing just fine, per @TylerKepner in this GREAT read @TheAthletic nytimes.com/athletic/7344721…

Rick Sweet, who has managed in the minors for 36 seasons, is on the verge of 2,500 career wins in a sport where such longevity is now rare.
