Friday Referrals

Here are a few links to get you through your Friday:

- The 25 Best of “Best of” Albums. What a surprise that The Beatles and The Rolling Stones finished #1 and #2.

- This is both an inspiring and sad story about an 18-year-old dying from cancer titled "Teen is running out of innings, but the game still isn't over."

- Chico Harlan is going to from writing G’Day from Tomorrow for the Post-Gazette (I think he also wrote some in the sports section) to the Washington Post (go about half-way down this chat) to be the Nationals beat reporter. Another Pittsburgher moving to the DC metro area.

- At some point, I may or may not write about my experiences at the new Nationals stadium during last week’s Pirates game. The short story is that I bought four $18 tickets on StubHub for less than $7 each. While waiting for friends at the stadium, someone handed my brother two free tickets. Ten minutes later, another guy gave us three free tickets. This is a brand new stadium and people are giving away tickets! More about the poor attendance at the Nationals stadium in this Yahoo article.

- The top ten worst franchises in pro sports. A Pittsburgh team is #1 and it is not the USFL's Pittsburgh Maulers.

- Google has a link to support disaster relief in Myanmar (Burma).

Finally, I have added the following great links on the right. Check them out!
- Kevin’s Crazy World
- Lacochran’s Bloggery
- Going Five Hole

I'm working on something big that will be posted on Monday or Tuesday, so stay tuned for for more information.

Go Pens!
