I remember Shirley Povich, legendary WaPo sports columnist, coming into the office in his 90s when I was an intern. He'd be wearing the outfit described here: fedora, tweed jacket, rep tie. He was small but had an iron grip, grasping my shoulder and tell stories of Babe Ruth. 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

You know who's jacked up? Maury Povich is jacked up. (He's planning to go to Game 5 dressed as his father.) https://t.co/6w7hlyNfaB
