Tuesday’s P.M. Hot Clicks: Marianne McKinney; Girl Scout cookie cereal
World Series Preview
I know Andy did this in A.M. Clicks, but wait there’s more! I love the Cleveland Plain Dealer’s Indians beat writer’s punishment for failing to believe in the team. If you don’t know who to root for, take this quiz. Jason Kipnis sprained his ankle while celebrating and an MLB Network reporter tweeted (and deleted) photos of his messed up foot. It looks bad. In better news, Dexter Fowler is set to be the Cubs’ first black player to appear in a World Series game. Here’s what the AP game story looked like the last time the Cubs won a title, and here’s a quiz on what the world was like back then. Oh, and we can’t forget about the Indians, so here’s how Twitter would have reacted to the end of Major League.
