Major League Baseball’s all-time stolen base leader Rickey Henderson has died at the age of 65, according to his family, per the Athletics. The 1990 American League MVP is regarded as one of the best leadoff hitters in the sport’s history and the greatest base stealer of all-time, a feat highlighted by leading the AL in stolen bases 12 times. Across his illustrious 25-year MLB career, spanning from 1979 to 2003, Henderson played for nine teams and most notably retired as MLB’s all-time stolen base leader (1,406) and all-time runs scored leader (2,295). “For multiple generations of baseball fans, Rickey Henderson was the gold standard of base stealing and leadoff hitting,” MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement.

Charred to a crisp, the hundreds of brittle ancient scrolls would crumble if one were to attempt to unfurl them, and any trace of script would be nearly illegible. The Herculaneum scrolls, as they are known, still remain unopened, but thanks to the powerful tool that is artificial intelligence, their contents now lie within reach. The project is just one compelling example of the growing utility of AI: https://cnn.it/49LkWU5

The cost of living crisis in the US has eased somewhat, but low-income Americans are still struggling after years of high inflation and elevated interest rates. Their situation could worsen if President-elect Donald Trump keeps his promise of slapping hefty tariffs on America’s three biggest trading partners, which could reignite inflation, economists say. https://cnn.it/4iRtAVd

When Allie Reimold boarded Flight 2223 in Houston a week ago, she didn’t expect to see him. It had been four years since they’d last visited in person. And eight years, almost exactly, since the budding scientist – on the darkest day of the year – had given the commercial airline pilot a gift that would link the two for life. Back then, United Airlines Capt. David Whitson had been facing a devastating diagnosis: acute myeloid leukemia. Healthy blood could bring the husband and father back from the brink. But even his brother’s didn’t match closely enough. That’s when Allie, who years earlier had opted into a bone marrow registry, got the call: Would she help save a dying stranger? Since then, Allie and David had met in person. They’d linked up on social media. And in gratitude for her priceless gift, David had added Allie to his United Airlines travel benefits so she “travels like my children or my family do,” the pilot told CNN. That’s how David, who’d just piloted a flight from Dallas to Houston, got the ping: Allie was also in Houston, about to board outbound Flight 2223. But it was due to take off in 40 minutes. And David was on the other side of the airport. He reached out to the jet’s captain. And dashed to the gate. Read what happened next: https://cnn.it/3ZIlEg6

The story of the housing market over the past few years has been characterized by a growing divide between “haves” and “have-nots” — those who rent and those who own a home. Existing homeowners in America have seen their wealth on paper explode as home prices have surged across the country. At the same time, after a slight dip in rents after the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, rents have also spiked, eating into many people’s savings. A recent report from the Aspen Institute highlights the gaping wealth chasm that has formed between homeowners and renters in America. The median homeowner in America has a net worth of $400,000 as of 2022, the most recent data available, while the median renter’s net worth is just $10,400, according to the report. That means the typical homeowner has almost 40 times as much wealth as the typical renter. https://cnn.it/41MeM4a

Party City has filed for bankruptcy for the second time in less than two years. The filing comes after the retailer told employees Friday it would begin “winding down” operations.
