(BALTIMORE — August 22, 2026) – Before basketball became a business, it was a bond. It was the sound of a ball bouncing against concrete. At Cloverdale, that sound rises from a thin sliver of land along the edge of Druid Hill Park, directly across Druid Park Drive from one of Baltimore’s greatest treasures. Cloverdale sits in a complicated little pocket of West Baltimore, where McCulloh Street and Druid Park Drive meet a steady stream of traffic moving south, east and west. Cars are always passing. The city is always moving. Yet basketball players have always known exactly how to…

(BALTIMORE – August 22, 2026) – I once sat across from the man who directed Project Blue Book—the United States Air Force’s official investigation into unidentified flying objects—and asked him a simple question: Had he ever seen anything in the sky that he could not explain? His answer was yes. Lt. Col. Robert J. “Bob” Friend did not give me some recycled story from a documentary. He was not repeating something another pilot had told him.

We are the same age, born around the same time, and we have maintained our friendship for more than half a century. That alone is a blessing. Conducting these “Legends of Baltimore: Beyond the Game” interviews has helped me better understand my own childhood. Although sports was certainly a part of my story, my childhood was also deeply connected to business. While Derick and the other young ballplayers were handling the rock, I was handling newspapers. I had an AFRO…

People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it. (BALTIMORE – August 21, 2026) — I saw a comment online that rubbed me the wrong way. “That ain’t gonna work.” Maybe it was, “How is that going to work?” Whatever the exact words, the message was clear. It was the familiar voice of doubt—another person standing on the sidelines, criticizing Baltimore and questioning what our people can accomplish. I did not appreciate it. Doubt is easy from the sidelines. Building something requires vision, work, and courage. I never met William Henry “Chick” Webb. He…
