This is Throwbacks, a newsletter by me, Michael Weinreb, about sports, history, culture and politics. Welcome to all new readers/subscribers, and if you like what you’re reading, please join the mailing list and share, on social media or through e-mail or however you feel comfortable sharing. (It’s still FREE to join the list: Just click “None” on the “subscribe now” page.) The best way you can help out is by spreading the word and sharing with others. That said, I have set up payment tiers, if you wish to chip in something or “leave a tip”—I’ve made them as cheap as Substack will let me make them, which is $5 a month or $30 a year.
