Grandmas are the BEST
Royals always do a good job with the giveaways. Hoping I can get out there for a couple of games next year. This tho is diabolical lol. Jalen wanted one when they first became popular and I refused to spend $50 on a performative oven mitt.

So, he asked grandma and she bought him two.

Good for Andy Pages on getting "championship saving catch" in as a career defining moment before the world heard about "unknowingly foiling gambling plot by swinging at extremely obvious ball"

There are no bad bits to this wonderfully pointless exercise. Throw, reposition to catch, wait, catch, repeat.
It seems that I still very much enjoy the simple pleasure of throwing a tennis ball high into the air and catching it, and could happily keep doing it for half an hour if I didn’t have other matters to attend to

These new details from last summer's confrontation between Rob Manfred and Bryce Harper are absolutely insane.

MLB officials threatening players will "end up in a ditch" for disrespecting Manfred is outrageous behavior.

This bums me out as #athletics fan. Firing your black 3B coach & bringing back THIS guy is a terrible look. In their 125-yr history, A's have never had a black or Latin-born manager. I wonder how much longer we need to determine if that's intentional and what other decisions are made thru that prism
if anyone remembers from 2020, Ryan Christenson is the one who was under fire for making a nazi salute gesture.

What a game. What a World Series. What a season.

Baseball is the best 🫶⚾️

The players, managers, coaches, front offices & everyone else involved outdid themselves yet again!

It’s an honor to share this amazing game with all of you! Thanks so much for following along! 😭

Ivor (3) has just shown a fleeting interest in the sculptures of Henry Moore, and both his parents are slightly overcome by this, in fact we’re in danger of spoiling it by arranging a day trip for the family to Henry Moore Gardens - oh hang on he’s just asked for Paw Patrol on the TV, as you were
