Willie Mays to appear in HBO doc as he celebrates 90th birthday The spirit he played with and the way he carried himself changed the game and people’s attitudes. I’m glad he’s still going strong,” tweeted President Obama.
Willie Mays is 90 and still making big moves.
The baseball Hall of Famer turned 90 on May 6 and has a documentary dropping. A few notable fans ran to social media to celebrate the living legend.
“Happy 90th birthday to Willie Mays! If it wasn’t for folks like Willie and Jackie Robinson, I might never have made it to the White House. The spirit he played with and the way he carried himself changed the game and people’s attitudes. I’m glad he’s still going strong,” tweeted President Obama.
Family Fun and Leisure Learning

Summer is here, and with many COVID restrictions lifted, many American families, including mine, are hitting the road for a little bit of R&R.
Instead of our usual beach destination, we visited somewhere with natural beauty, history, and fun for all ages – Alabama’s Mobile Bay area.
Seascapes and seafood
The state’s oldest city, Mobile sits at the head of Mobile Bay, a shallow Gulf of Mexico inlet. The bay separates Mobile from smaller, eastern shore towns of Spanish Fort, Daphne, Fairhope, and Point Clear.
Accordingly, we began our Alabama escape in Spanish Fort.

Back where he belongs: Fairhope’s Stu Fuller returns to dugout after heart surgery AL.com 6 hrs ago
In most spring seasons, that would not be unusual.
Fuller has been the Pirates’ head baseball coach for the past 22 years.
But this spring is not most springs.
Fuller missed more than a month during a medical crisis that eventually led to open heart surgery on March 25.
“It felt good to be back with the kids,” Fuller said after the 10-0 Fairhope win on Wednesday. “I didn’t do anything, but I was dressed and that, in itself, was a blessing. Even better, the kids played well.”

Regardless of whether Gov. Kay Ivey opts to extend a mask mandate or to follow the lead of Texas and Mississippi in dropping it, one thing is clear: A thaw has come to coastal Alabama.
The floodgates are open, with a steady stream of concerts, festivals and other public events on the books for March and April. Many still advertise social distancing and other hygienic precautions, and individual venues could require or encourage mask use even if the state says it’s not mandatory. Needless to say, many people may still opt to avoid public gatherings or to wear masks regardless of what’s required.
