Save this forever.
Baseball is so great you guys. It's also terrible and mean and no one should love it because it will snap your heart in half. But it's so great.

Someone could (should!) write an entire book about this game.

Just wildly wonderful playoff baseball. Excruciating in the best way.

FanFest is great for a million reasons, but spending an hour watching Jackson Merrill interact with and sign autographs for kids is about as good as it gets.

With the new shift violation penalty, we get to update the old trivia question about the seven ways for a batter to reach base, right?? Eight is the new seven.

The 2024 Pads had an almost laughable number of incredible moments and Jurickson Profar was in the middle of nearly all of them. Should get quite an ovation on Opening Day at Petco.

Wow!
Cool trivia from the @baseballhall.org: Ichiro becomes the 3rd Hall of Famer to have played in both MLB and Nippon Professional Baseball. The others? Larry Doby with the Chunichi Dragons in 1962 and Goose Gossage for the Fukuoka Daiei Hawks in 1990.

I try and generally avoid HoF arguments and discourse but this class is so cool in so many ways and as a fan, what three totally different and totally awesome representations of the game. Congrats to all.

Not only a legendary broadcaster and entertainer and one of the funniest people ever, but hard to argue that he doesn’t have the best play-by-play “coaching tree” in MLB history. Will miss seeing him in Milwaukee but what a crew they have to follow in his footsteps.
Bob Uecker, an MLB catcher who turned his tales of inferiority into a second career as a popular sportscaster, died on Thursday at 90. nyti.ms/4jnpX9N

I obviously loved baseball cards as a kid, but never was much for “collecting.” We played games with them, hung them on the wall, that kind of thing. But there was one card I had that I knew deserved special treatment.
