FILE - In this October 1984 file photo, a groundskeeper at Jack Murphy Stadium paints the logo for the 1984 World Series between San Diego Padres and Detroit Tigers in San Diego. The biggest piece of San Diego's sports history is slowly being knocked down and ground to bits. Now the stadium is coming to an unceremonious end, leaving generations of fans feeling melancholy because, due to the coronavirus pandemic, they didn't get to say a proper goodbye to the place where they tailgated with gusto in the massive parking lot before cheering on the Chargers, Padres and Aztecs, or watched myriad other events and concerts.

John Urschel has found that a master's degree in mathematics, his stature as an accomplished author and his pending PhD at MIT isn't necessarily enough to sell young students on the benefit of crunching numbers. What really makes him interesting to most kids is that he's a former NFL player who opted to immerse himself in math. (Steve Ruark/AP Images for Texas Instruments, File)
