OK, can any Villanova folk say they know for sure that Robert Prevost, currently known as Pope Leo Xiv, ever set foot in the Palestra?

DiMaggio hit in 56 straight and Ted Williams hit .406 but Cecil Travis led the AL in hits in 1941.

RETWEET if you stand with ABC News reporter Terry Moran against Stephen Miller!
6/8/84. Series tied, 2-2 Heat Wave in Boston. Game time 97 degrees F at the un-airconditioned Boston Garden. Lakers just want to go home. Bird shrugs and goes for 34 and 17 on 15-for-20 shooting. The legend grows.
Isn’t it possible people not liking her has nothing to do w her being a woman?
People who don’t think Doris Burke is a good basketball analyst can only be manifesting their latent misogynism. Criticize her voice timber, if you must, but never doubt her expertise.
I insulted the memory of Max Zaslofsky by misspelling his name. I apologize.
