Our daughter Kara and son-in-law Conor adopted Bailey as a puppy a little more than a year ago.  She is the most pampered pup in America...

This photo was a team effort -- Kara "styled" Bailey and Conor carved her face on the pumpkin.

Happy Halloween!

Jerian Grant -- Off to a Good Start in NYC!

Here's a nice story about former Notre Dame All-American Jerian Grant and his relationship with NBA veteran and New York Knick teammate Jose Calderon.

Jerian made his NBA debut last night against the Milwaukee Bucks and produced these numbers in 24 minutes of action in the Knicks 122 - 97 road win:

• 10 points
• 5 assists  (tied for most on the team)
• 3 steals

GREAT START!!!

FYI:  Pat Connaughton did not see action in the Portland Trail Blazers' opening game loss to the New Orleans Pelicans.

Domer Dad Torii Hunter, Sr. -- Retires from MLB

Notre Dame Dad Torii Hunter, Sr. (father of Fighting Irish wide receiver Torii Hunter, Jr.) called it a career yesterday as he announced his retirement from Major League Baseball after 19 years in the big leagues...

What a career it was!

• 19 seasons
• 9 Gold Gloves
• 5 All-Star Game selections
• 309 home runs
• 195 stolen bases

How's this -- he turned 40 years-old this past July and he still produced these types of numbers for the Twins in his final season:

• 22 home runs
• 81 RBI

To put Torii Hunter's career in perspective -- there's only one man in the history of baseball who has more than 9 Gold Gloves, 309 home runs and 195 stolen bases -- WILLIE MAYS.

Torii Hunter was a great teammate -- a class act -- Major League Baseball loses a gem today.

It will be nice seeing him around Notre Dame a little more often!
