Omaha-ha-ha: At the ESPYs, ex-Colts QB Peyton Manning is the host with the roast.

For a state lacking a major-league franchise, Indiana is crushing it in baseball: Of our five biggest minor-league ballparks, two have won best-in-show awards, two stand among baseball’s most historic, several were immortalized in America’s favorite women’s baseball movie, and one sits under the summer skyline next to a park and a zoo.

During the non-summer months, getting kids fed/groomed/dressed and to school on time each morning is a dreadful, exhausting process layered in stress and rage and chaos. Nothing comes easily at 6:45 on a cold, dark Tuesday morning in December—and nothing is where it should be. Backpacks, lunch bags, shoes, the kids themselves. Nothing runs smoothly. […]
