Nestor welcomes the heroic young Patota back onto the show to tell his special journey in life and why you’ll want to help support this aspiring sports journalist’s efforts for Breakthrough. Watch and be inspired!

Dear David Rubenstein: I really believed things were going to be different with “The Next Chapter” of Orioles history – but I was wrong so far

I’m still “under review” and denied media credentials. You’re still under review by every fan of the Baltimore Orioles and every citizen who chipped in $600 million toward your $1.725 billion asset. Be a better person and a better baseball owner than Peter Angelos. Be the noise for truth, accountability and decency. Make “The Next Chapter” a truly inclusive one, David.

No. 18 on #TastyNes Tour & WNST Baltimore 27th Anniversary: Blue Moon Too Cap’N Crunch French Toast

It should be no shocker that the peanutty, crunchy, brunchy, fruity whipped deliciousness of this original concoction has brought foodies in from everywhere.

Facing I.C.E. and not playing nice with fascists

We always discuss housing and urban development with Councilwoman Odette Ramos but when the I.C.E. folks are randomly targeting Latinos and Trump has taken over Washington D.C. with force, you can expect the only elected Latina in Baltimore City to have a lot of questions for masked federal agents terrorizing our local communities and citizens of color.

A life in MLB ballparks brought to life
