Congrats, Jonathan Sanchez!

Tip of the hat to Jonathan Sanchez for pitching the first SF Giants no-hitter since John “The Count” Montefusco did it way back in ‘76.

This screencast is a great snapshot of the soon-to-be-released first offerings.

You will easily discover every man’s prevailing vanity, by observing his favourite topic of conversation; for every man talks most of what he has most a mind to be thought to excel in. You’ll never look at daily interactions the same way after being exposed to nuggets like these by Lord Chesterfield.
