Mariano Good Bye

Last night the greatest closer in the history of baseball, Mariano Rivera, played his final home game at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. Ever since I can remember, he has been their closer. It was an emotional night when he realized he wouldn't be back on that mound anymore. I came up with a little piece to commemorate that moment.

Check out this MLB video for yesterday's Bronx sendoff.

Loop Around Manhattan

"A driver with a real lead foot and both a nickname and video to back it up is under arrest and facing charges Friday.

The man's record-setting 24-minute joyride around Manhattan went viral, but the NYPD has put on the brakes thanks to some detective work. Police on Thursday arrested 30-year-old Christopher Adam Tang, whose nickname is Speed Racer. Police also seized his 2006 BNW Z4, which reportedly goes from zero to 60 in just 5 seconds.
Tang looped the island, starting at East 116th Street and heading south on the FDR Drive around to the Henry Hudson Parkway, in 24 minutes and 7 seconds" - NEW YORK (WABC). Check out the news coverage here. I would plead it was an moving artistic installation! FREEDOM OF SPEECH! JK. Though it is a mesmerizing video.
