This guy was central in me falling in love with baseball and the Chicago Cubs, and really just sports in general. Whatever you do in this world, approach it the way Ryno approached baseball.

An undeniably beautiful shot from today’s Thunder parade that captures the growth of the city and what it has overcome over the last 30 years to get to this moment — and just how much that title means to OKC. (via the OKC National Memorial IG story; taken — I believe — by Thunder photog Jimmy Do)
