“It was one of the most beautiful moments I’ve ever experienced on a baseball field.”
Puerto Rico may be done playing here in their home, but Preciosa will stay with them on to Houston, and stay with me forever.

I really think everyone needs to pay attention to this cordinated campaign to delegimatize Muslim Americans - not just as citizens but as humans.
These increasingly hysterical attacks are a prelude to Republicans bringing us to a very, very dark place after the election.
I think I watched Donnie Darko 25 times in high school with friends, trying to figure out what it was about, trying to figure our own teenage lives out. Just a weirdly perfect movie

Crazy fact in here that Jim Sundberg caught NINE Hall of Fame pitchers. Has to be the most all time right?
One immaculate inning in Postseason history.
The pitcher didn’t know it until 30 years later!
The 3rd strikeout victim didn’t know it until this week when I told him!
Fun story here about Danny Jackson’s hidden gem in Game 5 of the 1985 World Series.

I was a senior when Nick was in his first spring season with Fordham. Did we unknowingly eat cereal for dinner next to each other in the caf? Was he in my Movies and the American Experience class with Father Tueth? Did he go to Mugzs?? Did he think I was cool?

The Brewers haven’t played in a World Series since 1982. That’s 44 years, that’s a long time. Back then, they also had a pitching coach named Calvin Coolidge Julius Caesar Tuskahoma McLish. That’s 41 letters, that’s a long name.
That’s all.

How many Simpsons in a Caminero? 🤔
Chander Simpson (bunt) vs. Junior Caminero (home run trot).
For some reason I remember saying on a podcast that Joey Cantillo went to a high school in Hawaii where the baseball field was in the shadow of an active volcano. Can’t find that info now though, so I won’t say he did. I probably made it up

It does not have to be this way.
