Realmuto missed Thursday’s game after getting hit in the beans. Which makes me wonder if the upcoming Realmuto bobble head giveaway might look like this.

The daily MLB Immaculate Grid game had an April Fools edition where literally any player in baseball history was accepted on any space in the 9-square grid. Naturally, on this playthrough, I picked players from over 100 years ago with the most horrifying ghostly visages.

This new Iron Pigs Spring Training cap is cool, but they need to lean into the recursion and make the ice cream helmet graphic reflect an identical version of the hat. Then, of course, the concessions stand needs to sell ice cream in a matching helmet.
