In 1968, the Los Angeles Dodgers drafted 11 future major leaguers—including six All-Stars—who combined for 11,231 career hits and 1,139 home runs. It's the best prospect haul of all time by a long shot.

🔥⚾️🎨 I love artist Mike Right’s illustration work for the St. Louis Cardinals. A fun, playful style that hearkens back to the glory days of sports cartoonists in the 1940s, 50s, and 60s.

In the spring of 1992, the Cubs cut 29-year-old non-roster invitee Jamie Moyer and offered him a job as a pitching coach. Instead, he signed with the Toledo Mud Hens, then went on to pitch 20 more years and win 235 games in the majors. A truly remarkable career.

Finished "The Last of His Kind" by @bymccullough.bsky.social on my flight home from the UK yesterday, then got home in time to see Kershaw get his third ring. An extra-innings Game Seven?!! What an amazing finish to the season.

There have been 326 no-hitters in MLB history. By contrast, there have only been 59 game sevens, none of which have involved the Mariners.
