In the spirit of this place and positivity, I am going to start a post that includes some random Petco Park scoreboard fun facts from over the years.
Not everyone will like them, but even if just one person gets a laugh out of it or brightens their mood, well, that’s sort of the point. Enjoy.

I've been sent video from the end of the ICE raid at the Zipps on 32nd and Shea.
It shows protesters -- on the sidewalk, impeding no one -- getting drive-by maced by an ICE agent from a truck as it rolls away down the road.
Hard to see how such tactics are justifiable.

It's very cold across most of the country, so to counteract that, quote-post a favorite photo from a summertime baseball game.

A few spots around San Diego County have managed to top 1/10th of an inch of rain so far, but San Diego has just had 0.02 of an inch. Scattered light showers remain possible into Saturday. #sandiegoweather #CAwx

You cannot make that foul call there. Absolutely cannot. Also, you cannot miss free throws there. And their guy didn’t. Frustrating.

Despite dry weather over the past month in SoCal, I'm actually more concerned regarding some potentially significant flood risk down south on Wed. A very strong cold front associated w/a very moist atmospheric river will be passing through at this time, w/high rain rates. #CAwx

Update: very active weather week to come in CA! First, a persistent and very warm atmospheric river will remain draped over NorCal, continuing to generate rain--and snow levels in the Sierra will rise yet further, above 8k-9k feet. SoCal stays warm/dry through Tue. [Thread] #CAwx

I will never forgive RFK Jr. for what he’s done… never.
The layers of hell he has unleashed in many different areas — not just healthcare — over the past two decades have caused so much damage, it’s overwhelming.
He is one of the greatest villains of the 21st century.

Famous athletes not being able to open the balls or pronounce the countries correctly is a nice added touch.
