It is safe to say that Nick Swisher stole the show at @mlbeurope.bsky.social's #HackneyBridgeTakeover. He made the Greenwich Giants' day and even the #RedSoxFans loved meeting him! #MLBEurope #MLBLondon #HackneyWick

Exactly eight years ago today, our Managing Editor was on the field as the U.S. celebrated winning its first #WorldBaseballClassic title: www.facebook.com/media/set/?s.... Only 347 days to go until #WBC2026 begins and our crew returns—who else is counting down!? www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=...

Spain came one win away from qualification for the second straight #WorldBaseballClassic qualifier. Incredibly, had Spain knocked off World No. 2 Taiwan, it would have become the sixth WBSC Europe nation in #WBC2026, though Germany could still make it an even half dozen. #WBCQ25

In terms of sport and the pyramids, it is hard to beat 9 February 1889, when the Spalding World Tour held one of its game, with All-America winning over Chicago, 9–6.

In total agreement with @tylermaun.bsky.social on USA Baseball look, and it has needed an overhaul for a while (it should definitely involve pinstripes). Also agree on recent Dutch lid and the green-and-gold of Australia (and white with the Southern Cross) and South Africa.

@tylermaun.bsky.social Pretty sure that Juan Diego Montes' base-hit celebration is to mime twirling his moustachios. Greatest mustache in baseball, indeed. #WBCQ25 #WorldBaseballClassic
