@benlindbergh.bsky.social Het Ben, here’s a few screenshots from an article written by my favourite sportswriter from the Toronto Globe & Mail. In it he mentions Springer not having to pay for a drink in TO ever again, and the tempting of fate by Vlad Jr. wearing a Maple Leafs jersey to the game.

@ewpod.bsky.social Hello from Winnipeg 🇨🇦 Finally getting around to reading Moneyball; saw the movie years ago on a flight home from Italy, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Curious as to your opinion of this book.

@benlindbergh.bsky.social Steve Rogers, always a starting pitcher, brought on as a reliever on October 19/81 to face Rick Monday of the Dodgers at Olympic Stadium. The rest is history, a sad memory for Expos fans :(

What a despicable subhuman being. I guess you’ll have to drink whiskey.
Cheers! Missing my California reds since Trump started the trade war with Canada and we retaliated by taking US liquor off the shelves.

@benlindbergh.bsky.social Further to your discussion of the equivalents to the crack of the bat, I have a couple.
1) the sound of a golf club striking the ball when the “sweet spot” is struck, especially with a driver.
2) the sound made when a football is punted, again hitting the “sweet spot”.

I spent some time on a great baseball podcast talking about the Satchel Paige Project. My segment is 59 minutes in, though Meg and Ben are always a great listen. This was fun—I could talk about Paige every day if you insist.

Ninety years ago today, the Great Bambino had his last hurrah.
Babe Ruth homered three times for the Boston Braves #OTD in 1935, bringing his career total to 714. Five days later, Ruth played in his final big league game. ow.ly/4mjK50VYoH7
