We'll be starting a Throwback Thursday segment soon ... a regular part of our weekly offerings where we will go back in time with an athlete or coach from the 1960s, 70s, 80s, 90s and early 2000s to catch up with them on what they're doing now, reminisce about their favorite games and memories back then, etc.

Would love to see your ideas on here for who you'd like for us to catch up with ... and no answers like "Babe Ruth" just because Ned might have interviewed him before as a cub reporter. :)
