Genius idea/ sign of the times: parents set up a fundraising table near Mile 8 of the NYC marathon in Brooklyn, letting spectators create their own signs in exchange for donations to their kids’ baseball team “because youth sports are expensive.”

Bonus hot take / NYC marathon tip from American record holder Conner Mantz: he told me the Fifth Avenue miles of NYC are "harder than any other major marathon hill. I feel like it was harder than anything in Boston."

Bars in SF which have supported the Valkyries all season are feeling uniquely pinched by today’s 9:30am start for Game 6. They’re scrambling to open early on short notice and likely not getting the $$ they’d earn from drinks. Some can’t open at all: sportico.com/business/commer…

Sports team values are mostly up big since 2022, but returns vary wildly. The @valkyries give Nvidia a run for its money and look away $NKE investors. 📈: @LevAkabas

While legendary broadcaster Bob Uecker's family has taken steps to protect his intellectual property, it’s not as if they’re sitting on a gold mine through the Brewers' pennant-winning run. I took a look at the business of Bob Uecker at @Sportico: sportico.com/business/commer…

The Brewers were in a 6-year playoff drought when they sold Timeless Tickets for $1K, promising a seat for any home game—even a World Series clash. Fans held onto hope for over a decade. But now some feel the Brewers didn't fully live up to the deal... sportico.com/leagues/basebal…
