Our summer promotion, “The Toyota Live Web King of Baltimore Sports” is now underway, as I’m sure you heard on WNST yesterday.

We’ll be releasing more information daily regarding The King, which will begin in earnest on Monday and go daily through our 10th Anniversary celebration, which will be held at Sports Legends Museum on Aug. 8.

We are also celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Baltimore Colts first team championship of the modern era and the 25th Anniversary of the most recent Baltimore Orioles world championship. We are planning on having a grand gala on Aug. 8th so mark your calendar.

The 32-man brackets for the contest will be unveiled on Tuesday night at the Angle Inn in Dundalk.

Here is your food for thought for the day: below is the list of all of the candidates we could cull for the final list of 32.

So far…

Tomorrow, we’ll release the 28 “first-ballot” entries. Next week, you can vote for the final four “play-in” contestants in right here at WNST.net.

We figure that there have been about 5,000 different people who’ve worn the name “BALTIMORE” on the crests of their jerseys over the past 50 years in Baltimore.

These are the best of the best…

Enjoy the names and your memories of these legendary Baltimore athletes.

And may the “REAL” King win…

Right Now in Baltimore

For people lacking ample shelter and employment, Project PLASE is there to help

For people lacking ample shelter and employment, Project PLASE is there to help

Sure, the spelling is a little different but you'll remember this place called Project PLASE once you meet Karen Thomas and Tiana Samuels, who join Nestor at El Guapo in Catonsville to share the work being done to help folks get off the streets of Baltimore and onto a better life. We love the local stories of inspiration and "the helpers" during "A Cup Of Soup Or Bowl" Week.

Sports cartoonist Ricig discusses family mission in Africa and Orioles and Ravens new directives in Baltimore

It's always time well spent with our oldest sports newspaper pal and lifer cartoonist Mike Ricigliano, who resumed his Ko-host role at Koco's Pub for "A Cup of Soup Or Bowl" talking about the Orioles and Ravens fortunes this year. But, more importantly, Ricig told Nestor the story about his wife's family heading to Kenya to help families and children in need in Africa via Future In Our Hands charity mission.

The Jason Los Foundation: Putting sudden tragedy into action with friendship and purpose

The Smalltimore story of a local friend suddenly lost inspired a connected group of community-minded folks to surround a widow and her children by honoring his legacy through The Jason Los Foundation, powering up a special bond of friends into local action and love. And. of course, the best stories are told over tasty Pizza John's in Essex on "A Cup Of Soup Or Bowl" with a whole cheering section for Cynthia Los, who made her debut in telling tales of her late husband.
