Derek Jeter, the greatest shortstop in Yankees history, was voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame on Tuesday, the BBWAA announced. He fell just short of joining former teammate Mariano Rivera as a unanimous selection, but Jeter will forever be enshrined among the game's best nonetheless. Jeter got 396 out of 397 votes.

Today is Wednesday, Jan. 22, the 22nd day of 2020. There are 344 days left in the year.


Today’s Highlight in History:
On Jan. 22, 1998, Theodore Kaczynski (kah-ZIHN’-skee) pleaded guilty in Sacramento, California, to being the Unabomber responsible for three deaths and 29 injuries in return for a sentence of life in prison without parole.

On this date:
In 1498, during his third voyage to the Western Hemisphere, Christopher Columbus arrived at the present-day Caribbean island of St. Vincent.
In 1901, Britain’s Queen Victoria died at age 81 after a reign of 63 years; she was succeeded by her eldest son, Edward VII.
In 1944, during World War II, Allied forces began landing at Anzio, Italy.

In 1953, the Arthur Miller drama “The Crucible,” set during the Salem witch trials, opened on Broadway.
In 1970, the first regularly scheduled commercial flight of the Boeing 747 began in New York and ended in London some 6 1/2 hours later.
In 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court, in its Roe v. Wade decision, legalized abortions using a trimester approach. Former President Lyndon B. Johnson died at his Texas ranch at age 64.

In 1987, Pennsylvania treasurer R. Budd Dwyer, convicted of defrauding the state, proclaimed his innocence at a news conference before pulling out a gun, placing the barrel in his mouth and shooting himself to death in front of horrified onlookers.
In 1994, actor Telly Savalas died in Universal City, California, a day after turning 72.
In 1995, Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy died at the Kennedy compound at Hyannis Port, Mass., at age 104.
In 1997, the Senate confirmed Madeleine Albright as the nation’s first female secretary of state.

In 2007, a double car bombing of a predominantly Shiite commercial area in Baghdad killed 88 people. Iran announced it had barred 38 nuclear inspectors on a United Nations list from entering the country in apparent retaliation for U.N. sanctions imposed the previous month.
In 2009, President Barack Obama signed an executive order to close the Guantanamo Bay prison camp within a year. (The facility remained in operation as lawmakers blocked efforts to transfer terror suspects to the United States; President Donald Trump later issued an order to keep the jail open and allow the Pentagon to bring new prisoners there.)
Title: Re: 1/22/2020
Post by: Travellin Dave on January 22, 2020, 09:37:20 AM
Ten years ago: President Barack Obama tried to revive his battered agenda and rally Democrats with a renewed emphasis on jobs during a town hall meeting in Elyria (el-LEER’-ee-uh), Ohio. The “Hope for Haiti Now” telethon raised more than $66 million. Conan O’Brien ended his brief tenure of only seven months on “The Tonight Show” after accepting a $45 million buyout from NBC to leave the show he’d long dreamed of hosting. Actress Jean Simmons, 80, died in Santa Monica, California. Actor James Mitchell, 89, died in Los Angeles.


Five years ago: With thousands of abortion protesters swarming Washington in their annual March for Life, the House voted 242-179 to permanently forbid federal funds for most abortion coverage, even though the legislation had no realistic chance of passage. Yemen’s U.S.-backed president, Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, quit under pressure from rebels holding him captive in his home. Former U.S. Senator and Kentucky Governor Wendell Ford, 90, died in Owensboro.


One year ago: The Supreme Court said the Trump administration could go ahead with its plan to restrict military service by transgender men and women as court challenges continued. Los Angeles teachers overwhelmingly approved a new contract, ending a six-day strike over funding and staffing in the nation’s second-largest school district. “Roma” and “The Favourite” each picked up 10 nominations for the 91st Academy Awards; Netflix and Marvel each scored their first best-picture nomination, for “Roma” (Netflix) and “Black Panther” (Marvel.) Former New York Yankees reliever Mariano Rivera became baseball’s first unanimous Hall of Fame selection, as he was elected along with Edgar Martinez, Mike Mussina and the late Roy Halladay.

Don't know if Bean got the email, but Bella from the Sis sent me the following today:

Don Pepin García Blue Label
10 Generosos (6.0"x50) for $49.99
A CIGAR.com Exclusive Offer
That's just about the jam price from 5 years ago. Although there was a time you could snag them for $40.

Mid-$30's is when I stocked up, but I'm not going to research the exact cost.

I'm really glad (holding breath) FDA regs have not fully taken effect and may not to the extent the FDA would like to. Companies still tweeking blends and cigars still coming to the market.
2 things arguably could be....
Small business
Recent vaping exposure.
When people realize cigars are no threat to the American population and regulation does not help in any way shape or form. The better off things will be.

Amen. I just figured it was because of FDA regs that they had to use a name of an existing cigar. If not, why not give a new blend a new name?

I have been following what I can and what I get is that manufacture's are pulling the line because there are so many unknowns.

Enjoyed a La Coalicion by Crowned Heads & Drew Estate sublime.  Got me a gift certificate as a belated Christmas gift while visiting Colin in Columbus, OH.  Took in “1917” and some playoff games.
[/size]
[/size]Why state Columbus, OH?  Tim is in Columbus, GA.  Just made Major.  XO of a training battalion.  Putting his Golden Gofer MBA to good use.  Colin will be going back to India this summer.  Deluxe, the film distributor he works for, outsourced their customer support to Bangalore India.  Colin went over to train the new employees.
[/size]
[/size]Nuclear stress test came out normal.  All my cardiac vessels are OK.  High blood pressure.  Next month get circulation in my legs checked out.  Petechia and swelling.  Stephania’s breast cancer cropped up in the other boob.  Imaging and testing.  Genetic testing next month and figure out what to do from there.
[/size]
[/size]Oh, and the furnace blower motor went out.  Surprisingly was able to get an almost identical replacement.
[/size]
[/size]Have a good one one and all.  Try to get back to post whorin’.
