For Tommy John · 12d ago

Grew up in Terre Haute watching Tommy John pitch. He came back to deliver that valedictory address in 2014 and the whole town was so proud. A real Hoosier who never forgot home.

For Dory Funk Jr. · 26d ago

Grew up in Hammond, same town Dory was born. My dad played his matches on tape, said he'd never seen a man move like that. Rest easy, master.

For Chita Rivera · 24 Feb 2026

She originated Anita, Rose, Velma, Spider Woman. Four roles that could anchor any career. She did them across decades and made each one unforgettable. That's mastery. That's Chita Rivera.
