RIP Jane

Posted on June 11, 2017June 11, 2017 by Joe Posnanski

Terribly sad news for those from SI, Time. Bambi Wulf has passed. https://t.co/X56385i8Pd pic.twitter.com/tL2j6NLFsu — Jeff Pearlman (@jeffpearlman) June 11, 2017 I never met Jane Bachman Wulf, but — like Jeff — she altered my life.

Posted on June 1, 2017June 1, 2017 by Joe Posnanski

A few years ago, I used to play this game called “Civilization.” It was actually called Sid Meier’s Civilization, and I’m aware that it still exists and is undoubtedly better than ever. But I don’t know much about it now. I used to play it a decade or so ago, maybe more. The point was…
