Yesterday as I was leaving the last Stanford home game of the season, three guys asked me to take a picture for them. Turned out they were scouts from the Seibu Lions

Getting closer to my goal of having a rarity score of 1. Too many people thought of Bill Swift.

Elon Musk is unelected. He doesn’t represent anyone’s interests except his own

I’m thinking blue sky should ban ai generated content, or have a way to filter it out at least

Ichiro’s career arc is remarkably similar Minnie Minoso’s. Both got late starts to their mlb careers, both were pioneering, and they had similar skill sets.

Nothing is better for my productivity than having something that I don’t want to do, but have to. “I was busy with all this other stuff!”

Welcome to Cooperstown, Ichiro! baseballhall.org/hall-of-fame...

Let’s take a moment and note how awesome it is just to make the hall of fame ballot. Fernando Rodney seemed washed up at age 35 yet still hung around long enough to get on the ballot. It must be so cool to get a nod like that.

People giving shit to the guy who didn’t vote for Ichiro is probably the reason why the “no” voters don’t go public with their ballots
Carlos Beltrán was selected on 81.5% of pre-results ballots and had a final result of 70.3%. That means he appeared on 56.7% of not-yet-revealed and private ballots.

Utley: 51.9% pre-results public ballots, 39.8% final. Means 25.3% on the rest.

It would be something if @notmrtibbs.com winds up in the hall of fame someday

A thought on Ichiro receiving slightly less than unanimous HoF support— so what? It didn’t change the outcome.

Does Murray Chase still have a hall of fame vote? Was he the guy who only votes for one player because he finds speeches boring?

I had actually forgotten I got to sit down with Roki Sasaki after the 2022 season. www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2022/... #MLB #dodgers
Could Roki Sasaki become the future face of Japanese baseball?

I thought for sure Roki would wind up with the Padres

How I’ve thought about aging

0. All pro baseball players are older than me
1. At least one player is younger than me
2. Veterans are younger than me
3. Retired players are younger than me
4. Managers are younger than me
5. All the players are younger than me
6. hall of famers younger than me

Pittsburgh picked up Trey Cabbage on waivers a few weeks ago, and then flipped him to Yomiuri. No one reports on the transaction fees on these deals, but the Pirates probably got low six figures for his contract. It can be a decent little chunk of revenue for a small market team.
