Good morning, I’m Dan Gartland. I’m surprised it took me this long to lead the newsletter with my favorite team.

A familiar face atop the standings
The old saying goes that journalists root for stories, not teams. Well, last night I was rooting for the team and the story.
The Yankees, my favorite team since I was 5, had won 11 games in a row, and I had already decided to lead today’s newsletter with an update on their streak. It would be a better story (and better for me personally) if they won but alas, they lost to the Blue Jays, 2–1.
