Tommy Druen: Grace in an era of flash Previous Column: Next chapter of progress should be co-authored By Tommy Druen In 1983, at six years old, I fell in love. That was when my Uncle Billy gave me a pack of Fleer baseball cards--my first. At that point, I'd never watched a full baseball game. Maybe I'd caught bits and pieces when my dad or grandfather had one on, but that was it. Still, I devoured those cards as if I'd uncovered sacred texts. I studied every detail on the back, absorbing them like scripture. That same year, I played t-ball for the first time. I remember my dad taking me to Heck's department store to buy a glove. Whether by choice or fate, I came home with a Rawlings bearing the signature of Ryne Sandberg. The name leapt out--I knew it as one of the 15 cards I now cherished. I already knew the essentials: 6'1", 190 pounds, from Spokane, Washington. High school football standout. Third baseman for the Chicago Cubs. I couldn't have found Chicago on a map, and likely didn't even know what a Cub was. But I had a favorite player--and therefore, a team.

Lindsey Wilson University preparing for fall semester From Duane Bonifer The first day of autumn is not until September 22, but before the calendar had turned to August, several dozen members of the Lindsey Wilson University community were already busy preparing for the start of the 2025 fall semester. It will be the first fall semester of Lindsey Wilson University. Students will begin to return in groups on August 4, 2025, to the A.P. White Campus -- athletic teams first, then members of several cocurricular organizations, until the final group of new students and freshmen move into residence halls on August 23. Cosmetic changes and a mural When students arrive on campus, they will notice a few additions and changes, most visibly banners and signs reminding visitors that Lindsey Wilson is now a university, an event that transpired on July 1, when most students were away from Columbia.
