Mail, just ice hockey questions, yupee.

A) anon, if you think that Nathan McKinnon and AVS were not in their birth suits in the blurry photo from the sauna (bcs of steam ) lol. Just their footwork and lack of suspensor will be impossible to publish in public sphere of the social media...i don't think you bath in the bikini. look on their shirtless chests is not bad bcs they are toned athletes and it is frankly enough. Wakey wakey or up to fan fics

B) if you look on the photos of both wags from Winter Classics they stood at the top tier of seats and the rink was pretty far away from seating area. Add lights in the evening and I don't think it was easy to play as well as not easy to enjoy ice hockey game from the seats like in United Centre. Sure. The atmosphere is unbelievable but the Pirates have no boards around so you see all beauty spread across of huge pitch with masses of cheering fans.

) anon, the Pens wags run all as merch. For themselves which you don't see with many Blackhawks wags and generally on their Pens wags's scale as an incorporated part of the Pens. It is just a year old initiative so I guess it is a new hobby of retired model Kathy Leutner. There is nothing from promoting all own stuff like Jules or Swedish mama. The Blackhawks should push their merch before they hawk Bedard for more jersey merch.

D) anon, just my though based on reading articles..Tazer wants to play the play offs, Jake McCabe etc want to play the play offs and so Kaner with higher aspirations as veterans. Boston Bruins have visible results, contenders in last year's. So check Tazer's interest in Avalanche. I guess they knock on the doors by the agents and management with the match maker like talks whether interest is here. Then numbers of strategy and a salary cap do talking but you get me...also Tazer's girlfriend Megan Butler has Boston Bruins in her following accounts on Insta. She added The Blackhawks recently lol. It is always about baby toes around the possible deal with benefits on both sides and family or a gf's huge influence behind that

#Sidney Crosby #Pittsburgh penguins #Kathy Leutner #Wags #Penguin wags #Winter Classics #Boston Bruins #Jonathan Toews #Chicago Blackhawks #Jake McCabe

mascot mysteries

a/n: me posting something that isn’t at like midnight? wow. anyway i thought this was a super cute idea so i hope you all enjoy it :) this is also a gender neutral reader! and this is a covid-free AU

Pairing: Nolan Patrick x reader

Word Count: 1.8k

warnings: a few couple words, a little bit of anxious movements, Gritty (if that needs to be a warning)

disclaimer: this is a work of fiction and real person fiction if you don’t like that, please don’t read! also the gif isn’t mine! all credit to the incredible gif-maker!

tagging: @barzypatty

You walked into the Wells Fargo Center, admiring the arena. This was your dream job ever since college. Honestly you couldn’t believe you got it. You pull out your phone with the emailed instructions of where to go. You look for the “hallway next to the washroom” only to discover there are three different hallways that have signs directing to the washrooms.

Well fuck.

“Are you good there?” You look to your left to see two guys, likely players based on their attire. One was taller, with longer hair and a small smile. The other one was shorter but looked more rambunctious. It looked like there were in a little bit of a rush, but you were really lost.

“I’m actually kind of lost. I’m looking for conference room B8? But the instructions I have are really vague, so I have, like, no idea where I’m going,” you admitted, folding into yourself a little bit.

“That’s on our way! Come with us, we’ll show you where it is,” the shorter one said, motioning you over to where the two of them had stopped. “So, you’ve never been here?”

“It’s actually my first day on the job, so, um no. I haven’t been here before either, I, uh, grew up in Canada,” You cursed yourself. This was your first impression with the organization and you couldn’t even make a conversation without the stammering.

“Cool! Me and Patty are from Canada too! Shit, sorry, I’m TK and that’s Patty,” He said, motioning to the taller guy beside him. “And don’t worry about getting lost, Pats here got lost on his first day too,”

“Good to know I’m not the only one whose bad with directions,” you directed your comment to Patty, making brief eye contact with him. A rosy blush brushed his cheeks and you caught a mumbled “yeah”

“What do you do….?” Patty prompted, his voice quiet, but somehow you still heard it. He couldn’t deny you were pretty.

“Oh, sorry, I’m Y/N. And I’m in media? I don’t know my exact title, but working for one of the best marketed media teams was too good for me to, uh, turn down so…” You said, slightly talking in front of TK so you could answer Patty’s question.

“Oh cool! Maybe you’ll get to meet Gritty, he’s the fun residence troublemaker,” Travis popped in.

“I thought that was your job Teeks,” which earned a jab from TK into Patty, who just snickered.

“Travis, bud!” The three of you stopped to see someone else motioning for TK, who jogged over to the other man.

“C’mon, the conference room isn’t too much further, I’ll walk you there,” Patty said, already making some steps forward. After a small comfortable silence, he stopped in front of two double doors. “So, uh, this is it. Good luck on your first day,”

“Oh! Thanks. And, um, thanks for showing me where it was,” You tugged down on your jacket. “I guess I’ll just….” you motioned behind you to the doors.

“Oh right, yeah, I’ll, uh, let you go,” You gave a small wave and turned towards the conference doors and he turned back to go where he came from, only to turn around after a few steps. “Hey Y/N?”

“Yeah?” You took a few steps back towards him.

“You’re in media, yeah? So you might be at games or maybe even practices?” He scratched the back of his neck, slightly mumbling towards the end.

“Uh, yeah maybe. I’m not too sure where they’ll put me just yet but I like being in the action. I know that might seem weird ‘cause I’m sorta shy and quiet but..” You wrung your hands together.

“No, no, I get it. It’s like being a different person, when you’re behind the camera or something. You get to be someone else and it’s nice. I get like that on the ice sometimes. I can make the big hits and stuff and no one treats it like it’s different from being quiet outside the game,”

“Yeah, like a different person. That’s exactly it,” You met his eyes again. Holy shit, why is he so gorgeous?

“Y/N Y/L/N?” A head popped out from behind the conference room doors. “We’re ready for you,”

“Great, thank you,” You turned back to Patty. “That’s, uh, that’s me, but I’ll hopefully see you around, Patty?”

“I’d like that a lot. And uh, you can call me Nolan,” The blush came back to his cheeks but you could barely notice over the heat in your own cheeks.

“Bye Nolan.” You gave him one last smile before entering the conference room and closing the door, slowing entering the room. Once you came into sight, the people around the table jumped up.

“Ah! There they are! Our new Gritty!”

***

After that first encounter, you seemed to bump into Nolan more. Before work, sometimes after work. You would make casual conversation, both mumbling, but you just got each other. And it didn’t take too long for him to muster up the courage to ask you on a date. While you were slightly hesitant, he was quick to assure you that “I may have asked G to ask management if it’d be okay with our jobs and, uh, everything’s fine, so…?” which earned him a kiss on the cheek and a yes.

The problem was your job. You loved being a mascot. Seriously, you did. You were hooked after that first varsity game you went to in college. The energy of the crowd, interacting with the players and fans, the anonymity. The anonymity was the issue. Behind the costume, no one knew it was shy ol’ you. You could do anything and no one would tell you that you were being too rowdy or obnoxious. No one expected anything out of you except fun. It was perfect. And being Philadelphia’s beloved mascot/political figure was the dream. Telling Nolan risked the anonymity of the job. But to not tell Nolan was becoming an issue. He understood you had to work during game days, but it was becoming increasingly difficult not to see you with the other better halves in the stands, especially since you worked here. There was no reason for you not to be there. Every other teammate of his got to see someone they loved in their jersey but he didn’t.

When he brings this up, all timid, you are so quick to make a compromise. Before every home game, you’d meet in the tunnel for a good luck handshake. It might seem ridiculous but he got to physically see you before each game and it was a fun, quirky ritual.

“It’s like a different person right? You get in your zone and I’ll get in mine,” You told him. He responded with a kiss.

But you were running out of excuses why you were late either before your handshake or after his game, where you would also meet him in the tunnel. You had used the “I caught up with work” at least four times, “I saw a coworker who wanted to talk” a few times, and even resorted to “I got lost” once. You could see it was throwing him off a little. He was still playing perfectly fine, but it didn’t have that same “umph” he sometimes brought to the ice.

It was the home game against the Penguins when he finally snapped. That’s how you knew it was bad. Gritty was asked to do the fun pre-show, and you hadn’t had time to change to see Nolan before the game. He threw more hits, had more aggression, and more than the normal Pennsylvania rivalry. You couldn’t help but think that part of it was because you didn’t show up before the game. He’d even gotten in a fight with Tanev early in the second period.

So, during the intermission between the second and third, you asked your team to lead you down to the tunnel and grab Nolan out of the dressing room. The Flyers were up 3-0 so you didn’t think it’s be a huge issue with Coach.

He quietly exited the room, confused on why he got pulled out. A member of your team just gestured to you in your costume, which did little to clear up his confusion. You held your hand up in a fist for a fist bump, the first move in your handshake. When he still gave that bewildered look, you softly grabbed his gloved hand and pushed it against yours. When you lifted your hand up for a high five, he still needed some prompting. But when the down low high five came, you started to see the gears in his head turning. He gave a small chuckle and slowly worked through your handshake, ending with a pinky promise and a kiss to your respective thumbs. When you’ve finished, he just gives you that small side smile and shakes his head, with a chuckle.

You can hear the boys getting hyped up in the dressing room, and then the buzzer goes, so you break away from Nolan, but stay in the tunnel. As the boys single-file pass you, you give them each a boop on the head, with some extra love given to Nolan.

That third period, Nolan seems to have his “umph” back. An assist and a goal, and he celebrated both by glancing up to you, celebrating as per usual with the fans, especially after his goal.

After the game, you go and have your own shower, all sweaty after the 5-0 Pennsylvania battle. You took your time, knowing you’d have to have a semi-serious conversation with Nolan. But when you join him in the tunnel, he’s all smiles. He wraps you in a hug, spinning you around, before setting you on the ground and nuzzling into your neck. You run your fingers through his own freshly washed hair. The two of you stand there for a bit before he mumbles into your neck, barely audible.

“Like another person, eh?” You smiled and tucked your head into his chest.

“Oh shut up, I don’t even know if you’re allowed to know.” A hearty laugh escaped him.

“Secret’s safe with me, babe,” He wrapped an arm around your shoulders and kissed the top of your head as you started to make your way out of the arena. “Fuckin’ Gritty, I can’t believe it. I thought you were ignoring me,”

“I’m sorry, Nols. It’s just a lot to take in. Didn’t want to scare you off,”

“Well, I’m sticking around if that’s alright with you.” You looked up at him, and his cheeks started to redden, and not just from the game.

“Yeah. That’s alright with me,” You leaned into the crook of his shoulder, glad you didn’t have to hide any part of yourself from Nolan anymore.

Bonus: “Did you ever actually punch a kid?”

“Oh my gosh, I’m not answering that,”

“It’s a valid question babe! I’m not going to stop you, I just wanna know,”

feel free to let me know what you think! thanks for reading

Repairing your Ice Maker Machine: 4 Signs That it Needs to be Done

Ice cream is no doubt everyone's favourite. No matter if you're a child or an old person, it is available in many flavours, such as vanilla, chocolate, etc. Every commercial kitchen has an ice machine. Why? Clients like ice, so all water and beverages can be stored in it. It is used to chill ingredients such as seafood. An unusable ice maker makes it difficult for a commercial kitchen to be useful. You surely don't want your restaurant to operate out of ice. If that takes place, you are at risk of losing a large amount of money as well as harming the reputation of your restaurant. The nice part is that you can avoid it from happening by always maintaining the ice machine in perfect condition. To know more visit us -

Field of Dreams

Part 2 of 2. Y/N has a surprise for Steve when he worries about the fallout from their spat. Fury and the Avengers just might, might, also be involved. ^_^

A little baseball history, one huge surprise, and a spark that begins to flame.

Rating: G. Steve Rogers x Reader.

@nomadicpixel‘s winning fic from my Cleveland’s loss to Boston. As usual it isn’t short (what moi?) but was such fun to write. I know waaaaay too much about the ‘Trolley Dodgers’ now. Enjoy!

-------------------

“Still can’t talk to women.”

Bucky shakes his head, reaches across Natasha’s yogurt and Clint’s pancakes with his metal hand to snag the very last strawberry while Steve sits and glowers at the morning’s feed.

It’s humbling. Frustrating and embarrassing all at once, but unfortunately the straight up truth. He can’t talk to women and the evidence stares up from his Starkpad. Y/N’s elegant brows crashed together, his own mouth set in a line below the blaring headline: ‘Unfriendly Rivalry?’

“Tell me something I don’t know,” he mumbles dejectedly, running a hand through his still-damp blond mop. The past three days of coverage have been appalling. Blogs and pundits shredding Fleur and Y/N for speaking out. Blaming her for the entire stupid mess. Branding her as some sort of Feminazi for daring to argue with America’s Hero.

It’s so unfair. Misogynistic and unbalanced and sticks in his craw because the truth is he is the one who is in the wrong.

He shifts awkwardly in his seat “How did we go south so fast? I apologized for the tweet. She was gracious and understanding and I just…”

“Couldn’t let go of something you see as wrong?”

The whole table bursts out laughing. Sam’s throaty chuckle echoes. Bucky’s head back guffaw trails up towards the ceiling. Clint looks like he might pop the latest stitches in his gut while Bruce reaches for a napkin to wipe his streaming eyes.

Thanks. Thanks guys.

Nat smothers her own knowing smirk in a dainty coffee cup while he groans and tries to hide his head in his hands. Point to the assassin who always goes straight to the jugular. He knows the whole thing is pointless but games at Ebbets Field with Bucky were some of his fondest memories from before the war. It rubbed him wrong. Got his back up and heck he should have known to back down from the edge but that doesn’t mean that he always can.

“I am an Idiot.”

”Confirm!!”

“Tony!”

“If the suit fits, Cap. Morning all.” Starks’s CEO saunters in and swipes a piece of toast from Bucky’s grip, flips a chair back to front and casually sits astride. Their chief needler is dressed for corporate battle in a Givenchy three piece suit. He ignores the protest of ‘Hey!’ and wolfs his purloined breakfast down.

“Snooze you lose, Winter. Head on a swivel.” He grins in the face of Bucky’s glare as Bruce, ever the peace-maker, sets another piece on Bucky’s plate. “Not that I think Miss Y/N will be too upset by the result. There is no such thing as bad press in this biz.”

“Not upset?!” Steve’s jaw hits his knees. “Even the Post and Times have carried it on page 3!”

“Exactly.” Tony points with an absently filled coffee cup. “Headline coverage is headline coverage. The whole country is talking about it. The assholes who told her to get out of the boardroom will drive up her sales in sympathy.”

Steve bites his lip. “Really?”

“Yup. They’ll get a nice bounce out of this and probably a few million follows. Wish I’d thought of it.”

From somewhere above Clint’s purple arrow mug there is a strangled snort. “You, publically picking an argument? That’s not news, that’s an everyday occurrence.”

“Sure thing, Birdbrain. At least I….”

“Guys. Guys.” Steve puts up his hands. The morning’s habitual serving of trash talk is giving him a headache. He rubs his temple and tries to think this through. Should he make some sort of statement? Tweet out an apology? Would flowers and a note be more personal or should he assume she wants nothing to do with him in this universe or next?

That last thought makes the bright sunny day feel like a wall of cloud’s rolled in, but who is he kidding?

Expressing himself had gotten him into this mess. The last thing he wants is to make it even worse.

“What should I do?”

The table falls uncharacteristically quiet. Sam claps him on the shoulder as he rises and takes his dirty dishes to the sink. Bruce mumbles something about ‘relays’, following Clint’s retreating back. Bucky, the traitor, puts his metal hand out as if to say, ‘don’t look at me. you’re on your own pal.’

The only two left in support are pointedly ignoring him. Tony and Natasha hover over their Starkphones, avoiding his pleading gaze until, suddenly, Natasha’s ‘pulls’ up a page to float, glowing blue, above the jam.

“I think it’s been decided for you.”

Steve blinks, quickly scans the hologram of the New York Times fifth page while Tony whistles low. “Brilliant. They’re freaking brilliant. I’d like to poach their PR rep.”

Natasha thumps him on the arm. “Tony. Focus.”

“Just kidding. Ah, not actually. But I will send a few tens of million their way. Jarvis?”

<Sir, it is already done>

“Excellent.”

While Tony texts Pepper excitedly with this news, Steve, slack-jawed, reads the page size Invitation in detail.

It is blue on white, stamped with the Dodgers official logo and signed with the sort of flourish gained only from practicing calligraphy.

Natasha’s smiling so wide he can see her pointy teeth. Tony is grinning from ear to ear. And Bucky, Bucky is trying to hide a tear.

“Every boy’s goddam dream Stevie,” he says, “She’s got class. Class and guts.”

That she does. But holy hell. Him play in a game? He’s so rusty a swimming pool of oil couldn’t help. Besides, when the Avengers have some downtime they more often kick a soccer ball around. Sure he’s thrown out ceremonial first pitches since coming out of the ice, but the last time he’d hit he could barely connect the ball and bat. Now? Serum’d up? Would he explode the ball like Randy Johnson did a bird? Would it leave orbit and be a danger to traffic on Elysian Ave? He’d have to dial it down. Check his swing somehow. It’s worrying, but the sweet reality of jogging freely around the bases without wheezing or coughing up a lung hits home.

Wow. It would be fun. You never forget the smell of popcorn and hotdogs and chalk and…..

A little anxiety starts to set in. “I haven’t played in seventy-seven years.”

“Seventy-nine,” quips Buck. “High school gym class. You bunted and Mickey Ryan got to pinch run.” His best friend shakes his head and reaches for his phone, pulls up the Dodgers’ message app. “You’re going man. And we are going with you.”

Steve blushes. Gives in to reality. Yes he’s going. And inside--in his heart of hearts--- he’s looking forward to seeing Y/N too.

----------------------

July 1st..

“Good morning Captain Rogers. Welcome to Dodger Stadium.”

“Good morning Miss Archer,” Steve shakes hands with Fleur’s Press Secretary, stands uncertainly on the pavement outside the Player’s entrance. It’s warm and not too windy, perfect playing weather, but already he has a little trickle of sweat down his back. Astride the doors is the welcoming committee: the team’s Clubhouse manager, assorted assistants and one extremely starry-eyed ball boy. He shakes hands and greets them all, tryies not to notice the crescendo of clicking automatic flash.

The press hounds gathered in a less welcome contingent are making him nervous to say anything.

“Please call me Stephanie,” says the fresh-faced young woman in Dodger blue holding the days jam packed schedule. “I am helping LA today. And don’t mind them Captain. They aren’t allowed in the locker room.” She points a stylus toward to the blue tinted glass doors. “Come into the club house and we can get you suited up.”

Steve follows the ticking of her high heels into a hushed and new smelling corridor and then through one-way glass doors to arrive in a brightly lit but utterly unmodern room.

“What the?”

He stands speechless; stock still in the open central space, and his mouth is open and catching flies.

The LA locker room has been transformed. Instead of high tech monitors and computer feeds and OLED TVs, the room is hung with old style Dodger pennants. Pictures of 40’s Brooklyn. Advertisements for the ‘Subway Series’; the ’41 and ’47 World Series played by two New York teams: the Yankees and his ‘Dem Bums’. The lockers are mostly empty, a few hung with wooden hangers and old-style jerseys, baggy knickers and long blue socks. Before each cubbie is a wooden stool. And on the few laden shelves are blue caps and helmets with the familiar ‘B’.

Exactly as the Brooklyn clubhouse would have been almost 80 years ago.

“We thought this might be your size,” says Stephanie, leading him by the elbow to a spot with pride of place beside the onfield door. The white cotton of the home uniform is soft, stitched with exactly the swooping letters of yesteryear and about two size larger any other that he’s seen.

“You did this…?”

She nods and smiles as he gingerly takes the deep blue helmet down. “The whole team and management. I know Brooklyn didn’t used to wear helmets back in your day but the League insisted. This is a regulation game and the bats are rather stronger now.”

And so am I, Steve thinks, settling the heavy plastic down over his head. It’s snug, fits so exactly he suspects Tony has been involved. Only the cheek-guard feels odd. He rolls his neck a little, trying to get a feel of the slightly lop-sided weight.

“Miss Y/N figured you are used to wearing helmets.”

“Yeah,“ he blushes, looking down and amazed to find a familiar pair of dark all leather cleats. “Do you do this every year?”

Stephanie’s lips twitch as she barely conceals a grin. “No sir. Just this one.”

All this for him? Incredible. Steve’s throat closes up. “Uh.. uhm. Thank you.”

“Don’t thank me,” the blond ponytail gives a shake, “thank Miss Y/N. It was her idea. I’ll leave you to dress and then you can exit through that door and meet her at the gate.”

Soon enough, Steve is left to dress all by himself. He shrugs out of his shirt and chinos, pulls on the kit and fumbles with the knickers’ blue belt and loops. What a time for butterflies. He’s nervous, he really is, caught between wanting to help a team and just take in the wonder of it. There’s a number 41 on the jersey’s back--Harry Taylor’s number musn’t be retired. Will they play him in left field like the big Irish slugger? If he was coach he would. Steve doesn’t know the plays, the cutoff points, or the signs.

He finishes tying the (perfectly fitting) cleats and stuffs white batting gloves into his back pocket feeling mostly set. A quick few strides takes him through the home team tunnel. It’s weird-there’s no one hanging round, no one snapping pics or asking for photographs. He hustles a little more and then stops short just where the sunny square of outside light blinds him momentarily.

The clubhouse was a dream but this is something else.

Dodger stadium is dressed up like Ebbets Field. Low swagged banners for advertisements on the bleachers. Vendors in vintage dress. Pennants for a World Series win in1955 and six for National League championships. An organ’s live music is playing over the speakers and not a recording system.

And on the first and third base lines the ‘home’ and ‘visiting’ teams are all lined up. Twenty-five guys in Brooklyn white and blue, twenty-five in LA grey. Some of the current team and veterans of many ages.

They stand at attention with caps over their hearts.

Wow.

“Number 41, playing for Brooklyn, Steve Rogers!!”

The announcer’s words are drowned by the roar of the swelling crowd. Steve starts forward, intending to take his place at the end of the home team line, but he makes it only to near home plate before his feet become glued again. The audience is on its feet. Stamping. Shouting. Cheering on not Captain America but a man who’s had this dream.

Forever.

It can’t be real. It can’t, but he looks up to the owner’s box and there are the Avengers assembled in Brooklyn Blue. Whistling and clapping. Waving flags of oldtime Dodger blue just like the crowd. As thrilled for him as he is.

He doffs his cap and turns around, slowly, carefully; waving it to acknowledge the entire park.

“Captain? Steve?”

He shakes himself out of a daze and turns to look down at Miss Y/N who stands just at his elbow. She is smiling, pretty and perfect in a Brooklyn ball cap and summery light dress. Her long dark hair is glossy and flowing down her back and incongruously he wants to tuck away a stray strand that floats in the wind.

“Fine Miss. Just shocked. Amazed.” His tongue can’t manage anymore. His heart is pounding and his chest is tight and he know it isn’t asthma but isn’t sure quite what. A hearattack? Impossible? Anxiety? No, he’s happy not upset. Happiness?! Most likely. It seems to be that her hand is warm on his.

She’s moving to pull him over to the teams, set to introduce him but they stop a moment. He’s having trouble not tearing up. Her brow furrows worriedly. “Are you ok?”

Not really but then none of this seems real. “Fine, fine Miss Y/N.”

“Call me Y/N, please.”

“Thank you. Y/N. Tell me..” he asks quietly.

Her cap tilts up and she has to shield her eyes from the sun. “What?”

“Why? Why did you do all this? You didn’t have to. You….” could have hated my guts forever, he wants to say but manages to keep it in.

Y/N gives a quiet sigh. “I thought about it. What I said and what you said and I realize that I was wrong. Our situations are totally different. When my team was traded I was furious for months.. years honestly, but I had that last game at Olympic Stadium. I got Gary Carter’s autograph and Pedro Martinez’ too. Said goodbye. Kept a souvenir ball. You didn’t have that time to grieve. When you woke up they were gone and that was a cruel surprise. I can’t turn back time, but I can take you a little of the way there. Let America’s hero have the chance to play. And give your Dodgers’ the proper send-off you deserve.”

Steve is gobsmacked. This incredible, amazing, baseball crazy woman has changed this game just for him. He stands staring down at her, wondering how he got so lucky. He ticked her off and she’s still coming back.

Like Peggy.

He stands a moment, stunned by his own realization and watching her rummage in her purse. She shoves a scoresheet and binoculars aside and pulls out something that looks suspiciously like a ball.

“Steve I wanted to apologize. And the game is that, but also I got you this.” She puts the scuffed up, flaky old leather of a Brooklyn ball into his upturned palm.

“It’s…”

The home run ball he caught on May 26, 1941.

The game that Shield played on the oldtime radio as he was waking up in another world.

The blue ink of the date and name were faded but unmistakeable. The poor agent greeting him could have never known. Of all the games to pick..one burned into his memory. The Brooklyn Eagle had run a picture of him and Pete Reiser on the center of the sports page: the skinny ‘local kid’ giving back to the Rookie of the Year his very first home run ball. That dinger had tied the game, launched Pistol Pete onto a year of league-leading runs.

Of course Steve could never forget it. It was, he’d once assumed, his fifteen minutes of fame.

“How?” Did you know?

Y’N laughs. It wrinkles her freckled nose adorably. “If you thought baseball was good for stats, just see the MLB now! It wasn’t hard to find. A Steve Rogers in the forties catching Pete Reiser’s first home run ball.”

He supposes not. But… he scans her face. She can’t know that that was the game he woke up too? Or can she? Did Fury get involved? Was this another way for him to apologize for his little trick?

And does it really matter anymore. He scuffs a cleat against the astroturf. “Look I’ve been an…”

“Ass?” Y/N grins as she can’t help but tease. “I am not the one known as ‘America’s Ass.’”

He laughs. “Not in these baggy things.”

“I don’t know they aren’t so bad.”

Are they flirting?! Oh god they are and he hasn’t blundered yet.

He throws the ball nervously from hand to hand. “It’s too much..it’s….”

“Just what you deserve.”

After that they go down the lines; shaking hands with every coach and player new and old. The day is to honour old timers and Steve is delighted to find it includes six players still alive from before the team was moved: Sandy Koufax, Don Drysdale and Cody Bellinger, Branch Rickey who he remembers enlisted in the Army in ’42, and Tommy Lasorda, player and then winning coach. They are wrinkled and grey-haired but still hold their gloves with ease, josh with him about being the perfect designated hitter for a team, cat call the ‘vistors’ who are mostly LA alumni.

Soon it will be time to take the field. One last handshake to go. Y/N directs him along to the next in line and he looks over to find the young LA short stop who had been there is gone.

Replaced by a white-haired, thin bearded man in uniform and wheelchair.

“Would you like me to autograph that for you son?”

This time Steve’s jaw hits the floor. “Pete…?”

“Reiser..yup.” The old man taps his head. “So lucky to be here. 96 years young. 1 year younger than you are.. though I’ll allow it you look a little better.”

Steve laughs and shakes his head. “I can’t believe it.”

“Yeah, well somedays neither can I,” Pete chuckles. “Got all my faculties if not my legs. Dodgers in LA. Who would have credited it, but sometimes change is good. These bums keep winning championships.”

Steve smiles. Perhaps he’s right, but Pete was the guy that won them a pennant after twenty years of drought. “You almost turned them round, Sir.”

“Now quite how I remember it. But I do remember a scrawny kid who volunteered to give me my ball back.”

Of course he had. It was what a good fan does. Steve flushes. “I am so honoured.”

“That makes two of us, son.”

Steve looks up to cheering friends and then back at Y/N. She’s held her official boardroom style composure for an hour under the sun; introduced with pride every player new and old, but this time it’s she that can’t speak. Wipes tears from off her cheeks; smiling freely and quite unconcerned that Fox Sports is televising this live.

No way she doesn’t understand how important this moment is. And Reiser. Who’s had to give up his ball.

Fury’s so going to hear from him. Later.

There’s a faintly impatient ‘Cap’ and Steve turns quickly back. Pete’s gesturing, beckoning him down and so he drops down on his haunches. The old Dodger leans forward and taps a gnarled finger on the ball.

“Super serum or whatever, lad let me give you some advice. You see that one?” He points over Steve’s shoulder to Y/N who is distracted, joking with A.J. Ellis who will the catch the game. The sun is bringing out red highlights in her hair.

“Take it from me, I can tell. She’s sweet on you.” A pair of watery blue eyes twinkle. “And Lordy she’s a keeper.”

“Yes sir.”

Steve rises and on Tommy Lasorda’s signal jogs out into centre-field. Once there he punches his hand in his glove, plays a few rounds of long toss, and stands, not quite able to take it in.

The noise. The smell. The sheer huge expanse of field.

I am so lucky to be here. So blessed. So hoping I don’t drop the ball.

He doesn’t realize he murmurs the last out loud until Bucky’s voice breaks into his earpiece.

It is the one concession to Stark’s vigilance. “Of course you will.”

“Punk.”

“Jerk.”

Steve laughs. His and Bucky’s friendship, unlike the Dodgers, will never change. As he waits, nervous and excited, for Clayton Kershaw’s windup, he looks up to the owner’s box and reflects that, after all, Pete Reiser may be right.

Sometimes change is good.

What the Fuck is Going On News: June 6th 2018

1. Paul Ryan goes against Trump; says there's no evidence he was spied on and warns him not to pardon himself.

Speaker Paul Ryan dealt another blow to President Donald Trump's "Spygate" theory Wednesday, saying he's seen "no evidence" to support claims that the FBI spied on Trump's 2016 campaign for political purposes.

...

Ryan also echoed recent comments by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in suggesting Trump "shouldn't" consider pardoning himself, despite the president's recent tweet suggesting he has the "absolute right" to do so.“No one is above the law,” Ryan said. (source)

2. Major primary elections occurred yesterday in several states. Highlights:

Election Results: Key House Primaries in California, New Jersey, Iowa, Montana and New Mexico

Deb Haaland’s primary win means she will likely be the first Native American woman in Congress

118,522 voters left off Los Angeles County polling place rosters

Voters recall judge who sentenced Brock Turner to 6 months in jail for sexual assault

3. Trump commutes the life sentence of Alice Marie Johnson.

Flexing his clemency powers once again, President Donald Trump on Wednesday commuted the life sentence of a woman whose cause was championed by reality TV star Kim Kardashian West. “BEST NEWS EVER!!!!” was the exuberant Twitter response from Kardashian West, who visited the White House last week to press the case.

Alice Marie Johnson, 63, had spent more than two decades behind bars, serving life without parole for drug offenses. She was released hours later and ran into her family members’ arms. (source)

4. Facebook shared data with Chinese company that has been under U.S. suspicion since 2012.

Facebook's longstanding agreements that led it to share users' data with device-makers included Chinese phone-maker Huawei – a company of which the U.S. government has long been suspicious, and which intelligence officials view as a security threat.

The social media company also made data-sharing deals with other Chinese companies, including Lenovo, Oppo and TCL , The New York Times reports. They're among the roughly 60 companies for which Facebook says it built private software — giving them special access to users' data so that their devices could mimic Facebook's online tools. (source)

5. Mexico imposes tariffs $3 billion worth of exports including steel, pork, apples, potatoes, bourbon, cheese, and more.

Five days after President Trump imposed a new set of heavy tariffs on foreign steel and aluminum imports, Mexico hit back, announcing its own set of sweeping tariffs on US pork, steel, cheese, bourbon, apples, and other goods.

According to Mexican officials, they specifically chose to target goods from Republican strongholds, to hit Trump’s party where it hurts ahead of the midterm elections.

Overall, the new penalties will affect about $3 billion worth of US goods. The tax rates vary depending on the product, but most of them are high: There’s a 20 percent tariff on US pork shoulder and legs, and some bourbons and cheeses will be hit with 20 to 25 percent taxes. (source)

6. Jeff Sessions defends separating children from families at U.S. border

On Tuesday, the UN called on the US to "immediately halt" the separations. When asked whether it was "absolutely necessary" to separate children from their parents, Mr Sessions replied in the affirmative. Speaking to conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt on Tuesday, he argued that many US children are taken away from their families if their parents are serving prison sentences.

Mr Sessions said migrant children were "being well taken care of"."It's certainly not our goal to separate children, but I do think it's clear, it's legitimate to warn people who come to the country unlawfully bringing children with them that they can't expect that they'll always be kept together," America's top law officer said. (source)

7. The Pentagon admitted it will never know how many civilians it has killed fighting ISIS.

The United States is four years into its war against ISIS — and it has no idea how many civilians it’s killed to date. We know this because the Defense Department admitted it. “As far as how do we know how many civilians were killed — I’m just being honest — no one will ever know. Anyone who claims they will know is lying,” Col. Thomas Veale, a top spokesperson for the US-led coalition against ISIS, told reporters on Tuesday.

...

Veale was responding to a journalist’s question about a recent Amnesty International report that claims the US killed thousands of civilians when it tried to wrest Raqqa — which ISIS considered its capital in Syria — from the group in 2017. On June 2, the Pentagon said the US military killed roughly 500 civilians in 2017 while injuring 169 more. (source)

8. Trump’s former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, attempted to tamper with witnesses.

President Donald Trump’s former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, who has been indicted by U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller, attempted to tamper with potential witnesses, Mueller said in a court filing on Monday.

Mueller, who is investigating possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, asked the judge overseeing the case in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to revoke or revise an order releasing Manafort ahead of his trial. (source)

9. ICE arrests 114 immigrants in Ohio raid and sends them to detention centers.

A swarm of immigration agents arrested more than 100 workers at an Ohio gardening and landscaping company Tuesday morning, one of the largest of several recent workplace raids carried out as part of the Trump administration’s crackdown on immigration enforcement.

About 200 federal officers blitzed two locations of Corso’s Flower and Garden Center — one in Sandusky, on the shoreline of Lake Erie, and another in nearby Castalia, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement told the Associated Press.

Agents surrounded the perimeter of the Castalia location, blocking off nearby streets as helicopters flew overhead, AP and local television stations reported. They arrested 114 workers suspected of being in the country illegally and loaded many onto buses bound for ICE detention facilities. Dozens of the workers’ children were left stranded at day-care centers and with babysitters. (source)

10. During call with Justin Trudeau over trade tariffs, Trump incorrectly blames Canada for burning down the White House.

President Donald Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had a testy phone call on May 25 over new tariffs imposed by the Trump administration targeting steel and aluminum imports coming from Canada, including one moment during the conversation in which Trump made an erroneous historical reference, sources familiar with the discussion told CNN.

According to the sources, Trudeau pressed Trump on how he could justify the tariffs as a "national security" issue. In response, Trump quipped to Trudeau, "Didn't you guys burn down the White House?" referring to the War of 1812.The problem with Trump's comments to Trudeau is that British troops burned down the White House during the War of 1812. (source)

Other news to note:

Rudy Giuliani says that Robert Mueller is “trying very, very hard to frame him to get him in trouble when he hasn't done anything wrong.”

After skipping last year's WH event, Trump will be hosting an Iftar dinner in commemoration of Ramadan; so far no Muslim-American community leaders have been invited.

The European Union takes steps to protect the Iran nuclear deal after Trump’s exit.
