For nearly 35 years, Jan Loiterstein was a dedicated volunteer at Missouri Baptist Medical Center’s Ballas Boutique. Recently the 93-year-old had to step down. She’s now hoping to help recruit new volunteers for a beloved shop that does a lot of good. missouribaptist.org/Foundation/Fou…
Mizzou and Kansas fans the day after both teams get the immediate March Madness bounce
"Thank you... that's about the best thing you can say." Asked @SIUEMBB head coach @baronecoach what his message to folks in Edwardsville and Cougar fans would be after the best season in program history. You understand the emotions. #MarchMadness
A belated THANK YOU to all the reporters, photographers, videographers, producers, editors and everyone else who kept us updated through the recent severe weather, sometimes risking their own safety to do so. Watching @SteveTempleton was like watching MJ in the Finals. Locked in!
Ashley Gennero was 12 when blurred vision and shaky balance during a basketball game led to a stunning diagnosis. She once hid the news. Now? She’s an outspoken advocate young people with MS turn to for guidance and support. missouribaptist.org/Medical-Servic… @BJC_HealthCare
Dr. Jameson Holloman’s mother, Karen, was diagnosed with MS when he was in fourth grade. He decided then he wanted to help people like his mom. Look at him now: missouribaptist.org/Medical-Servic…
Just a few months into new gig at @BJC_HealthCare and I continue to be amazed by the incredible people I get to meet and write about. Wanted to share a couple examples with you all here.
Finally, a trade worth talking about
St. Louis Zoo's beloved polar bear Kali has left town, swapped for twin cubs stltoday.com/life-entertain…
Nothing going right for the Chiefs, including mistaking Jon Hamm for Paul Rudd
These days seemingly every athlete has a podcast. Some are pretty good. But the funniest one ever, if the trend had been established then, would have been Cardinals teammates and roommates Bob Uecker and Tim McCarver sharing a mic. Sides will be splitting upstairs this year. RIP.
Anybody know which SEC program landed a top-5 football transfer and beat a top-5 hoops team on the road today?
Brady Cook. True son. Heck of a game. Heck of a win. Knew QB1 wouldn’t leave his Tigers in a loss. And, hey, if you are feeling down about this season, check out the programs that have won 10+ games in each of the last two seasons. Loved watching you do your thing, @qbcook12
Free throws win ball games, kids. Also: Kasparas Jakucionis has ice in his veins.
Most important Braggin' Rights update of the day: #Mizzou wins Liberty Pose cheerleader standoff. Came down to the wire.
In today's @stltoday: This year's Braggin' Rights winner? It's me. My sendoff column for the Post-Dispatch. Thanks to everyone who has reached out. It's been a blast. One more to go from today's game. stltoday.com/sports/column/…
Adding to grateful feelings. @KTRS550 has been my radio home for better part of a decade and I've made lifelong friends there thanks to @bwiese16. Yes, even @McGrawMilhaven. Also: @LWorthySports and @TheDanGuerrero will crush their new rules. Easiest prediction I'll ever make.
Feeling thankful today. Thankful for @stltoday, where @stlhensley gave me a shot, where friends will keep delivering. Thankful for a new chapter at @BJC_HealthCare, where I'll work like heck to help a team that has helped my family and so many of your own. stltoday.com/sports/profess…
