Bag of Randomness for Monday, April 1, 2024

  • The design and style of the Texas Rangers World Series rings are exceptional, but the size of it makes them gaudy.
  • I can’t remember if Rangers fans pointed out that as they went undefeated on road trips during the playoffs, all the teams they beat spelled out ROAD – Rays, Oriels, Astros, and Diamondbacks. I think someone did point it out in November. No matter, it’s a pretty cool feature of the Rangers championship ring, and using the first letters of the opposing team’s logo was a nice touch. Here’s a video that explains the reasoning behind all 19 elements that make up the gaudy World Series ring.
  • As National League champions, the Diamondbacks also get rings. This is true for all major sports, and is dumb.

  • Journalists have been told to stop stealing souvenirs from US President Joe Biden’s official aircraft.
    • An inventory check on Air Force One after Mr Biden’s visit to the US west coast in February found several items were missing from its press section. Branded pillowcases, glasses and gold-rimmed plates are among the items that have allegedly vanished from the jet.
  • Bruce Springsteen was on last night’s Curb Your Enthusiasm and was better at acting than I expected.
  • Robotic police dog shot multiple times, credited with avoiding potential bloodshed
  • It’s hard for me to accept that 1984 was 40 years ago. To me, 40 years ago will always be the Fourties or Fifties. It’s not that I don’t want to accept it, or anything like that. I bet one day, it will finally sink in.

  • If you are a fan of basketball, you’ll appreciate the passing and how well the Mavericks executed this play. It’s a thing of beauty.

  • I predict that Texas State Representative (D) James Talarico will win a state-wide election. My guess is he’ll be the next Texas governor or Senator. Not only is he a current member of the Texas House, but the 34-year-old is fulfilling a passion project by going to seminary. I guess you can do that when you don’t have a spouse and a family.
