I usually ask interview subjects to say what they had for breakfast as a way to check the audio. Sometime they count to 10. But that’s basic. And Sandra Cisneros is not basic. Instead, Cisneros fires off a poem. Garcia Lorca from memory. Best soundcheck ever.

Clayton Kershaw thought his press conference was over when he was surprised by a 10-year-old. The child’s grandfather made a bucket list. On that list: meet Clayton Kershaw. That never happened. He died of cancer. But today Blake Grice met Kershaw. He feels his pappy with him.

Bobby was on his way to Disneyland. It was supposed to be a daddy-daughter day. Instead he pulled over because everyone was texting him the heartbreaking news. Kobe Bryant meant everything to him. He didn’t see many strong black male role models growing up. Kobe was it.
