He takes you to your seat and shakes your hand. This team has no idea what they’re doing but they’re doing it the right way. They can catch ground balls, hit their relay men and play good, solid, fundamental baseball. That means, when they give up a fly ball it doesn’t turn into a homerun. And their mascot? He does things the right way too. When they hit a flyball, it also doesn’t turn into a homerun. His grip? Firm but friendly. Don’t look to them to throw the ball at the mascot when the play is at first. No flips or dances or any of that costume nonsense. Three pumps and he’s out.

The last thing I was expecting in this Marvel hero summit meeting was soul, but there is plenty of it.

We already know, thanks to Walter Isaacson’s mammoth biography, that Steve Jobs was an intense, passionate, and often cantankerous CEO. And Jobs’ first ideas when it came to products weren’t always the best. After all, Jobs wanted to name the original iMac “the MacMan.”.

Ramos' story is remarkable not because it's unique but because it isn't. Already, banks have foreclosed on more than 4 million homes since the crisis began in 2007.
