Good Saturday morning and welcome back to 50Talk. This Episode 108 and we are glad you all decided to join Cathy and I again this week. Believe it or not but I was totally prepared for this episode this week with an outline but the more we got into the show the more I felt unprepared. This week has been one of the craziests in a long time.
I jump right into the news immediately with a sad story coming out of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Officer Jamal Mitchell (28) an Officer of the Department for less than one year was ambushed and killed responding to the scene of a shooting. He was honored last year after only being on the job for three days for running into a burning building and rescuing an elderly couple.
Our first history making or history changing event of the week was The MLB finally allowing records from The Negro Leagues to be integrated into the Major Leagues records. The Negro Leagues records from the early 1920's to 1948 until Jackie Robinson integrated the sport. That change makes Josh Gibson te leading player in ML history with a batting average of .372 now ahead of Ty Cobb.
We also have to recognize our two listeners who responded to last weeks question about knowing if they knew I played video games before I mentioned it on Episode 107. My fellow podcaster and video game brother Josh Brown and our dear friend Julie responded. Thank you both for your response.
Cathy finally remembered what her and I talked about in the car two weeks ago. That's some "older people problems" we came to agree. This is a fun little segment to break up the show before we move on to the next story.
Our biggests History changing event of this week is by far Former President Trump being convicted of 34 Felony counts. I know I have a strong opinion on this history but it would have given me a huge smile if he was put in handcuffs and hauled off to jail like every other Felon but that didn't happen. My fingers are still crossed though. e try not to get to deep in the mud with this but it is a little lengthy!
Please, if you all listening could take the time to go to Vote.org and check the status of your voting registration. I know you are all hearing this a lot after thursdays conviction that "this is our most important election ever" but don't believe it is. I think it is and we need to show up at the polls like never before to keep this convicted felon out of the White House again.
In the NBA Finals starting next week are the Dallas Mavericks and the Boston Celtics. Who you guys got winnin it? Send me your prediction at [e-mail]
Finally to end the show we update everyone on the Florida county Sheriff who killed U.S. Airmen Roger Fortson has been fired after an investigation. One small step at a time for justice. Hopefully!
Thanks for joining us this week. We will see you and next week.
