    Best time to visit?

    I'd suggest starting the Freedom trail from the Constitution end. That'll probably be the highlight for kids that age, and if you run out of time/steam at the other end it's easier to jump around or catch those landmarks individually at other times. The aquarium is also fun for kids...

    2024 HOF Ballot

    He'd have been a greater asset to an inferior team. His ability to at least occupy left kept Ortiz in the line up.

    2022 Hall of Fame Class

    It was years ago, but I think I saw some analysis on corked bats somewhere (MythBusters maybe?). I think the results were that it didn't affect power, but made the bat lighter and faster to get around, so the real benefit was for people chasing 3000 hits late in their careers.

    MLB kicking dirt in Charlie Hustle's face one bet at a time.

    Rose isn't banned from baseball & the HOF for gambling. He's banned because that's what he requested/negotiated in exchange for having the investigation into his gambling dropped.

    Tiger Woods Car Accident - Ongoing News and Commentary

    Checking phone records seems like it'd make sense, but depending on what they did to him at the ER and how long he was worked on, not drawing blood could be understandable.

    2021 BBHoF Ballot

    Wikipedia isn't exactly an irrefutable source, but it looks like those comments were made after his election.

    Pete Rose petitioning MLB for reinstatement

    He asked for the ban, in exchange for stopping the investigation. So it's hard to say if his punishment is disproportionate, since there were no findings... at his request.

    Yawkey Way now Jersey St again

    From the article, sounds like it's a Boston-specific rule. Not sure if there's actually any law backing it up.

    Fenway Tour: Worth It?

    I've taken 3-4 tours, and seems like I've gotten slightly different routes each time and see different things. I'd go again.

    Yawkey Way now Jersey St again

    The billionaire owner of the biggest tourist draw in New England has no say about the name of the street on which it's located?

    Goodbye MS Paint

    Most of the time, yes. If I'm trying to show instructions or something and want the mouse pointer or tool-tip popups to show, I still use paint. Although, I then generally use the snipping tool from Paint.

    Photo aggregating and purging

    Lightroom will. I think Photoshop Elements does also
