I have to admit I always found Jerry Lewis compelling. To me he was not only funny and intelligent but he was also a man with a certain profundity that came through in The King of Comedy. The New York Times, as it often does, published a fabulous obituary on Lewis’s career and life. I recommend it.
Here is a list of ten of the best Jerry Lewis films to watch.

I want to thank Efrain for pointing out to me personally in the comments a few days back that Major League Baseball is instituting the handshake line after the game for the first time in history at the Little League Classic.

I think the time is right for MLB to make the handshake after a series a regular occurrence. Kids and adults both could use an example of civility and good sportsmanship in this polarizing era we now find ourselves in.
Tonight the Giants begin a three game set with the Brewers in San Francisco. Chris Stratton is pitching.
Five Questions
- Can the Giants fire the whole bullpen and start over next year?
- Will Cain get a sentimental final start in front of the home fans?
- How many dingers will Stanton hit this season?
- Was Buster beaned intentionally yesterday?
- Who is the Giants best defensive outfielder?
