Fell in love with the Texas Rangers stadium. Air conditioned! Bliss! And the standing-only section was amazing. Preferred them to our seats. Texas won two games over Yankees but lost the third night with Yankees avoiding the sweep with a pinch-hit solo homer in the seventh inning. #TexasRangers

I have VERY IMPORTANT news about the Supreme Court of Oklahoma:
Those green curtains aren’t merely decorative.
Each justice does, in fact, emerge from the curtain behind their chair before oral arguments.

What was the initial reason for the goggles? And did you keep them because you had to, or did you like the look?
[–]officialchicagobulls[S] 298 points 9y ago
I got them because I was legally blind. I wore em because of that for a few years. After a few years I got Lasik surgery, but I kept wearing them without the perscription lenses because I had grandparents and parents come up to me and thank me for wearing them. Their kids and grandkids would get made fun of by wearing protective eyewear playing sports, so I kept wearing them to help make it cool to wear goggles for the kids.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:djvu2vj7yozxcgbaczvkftre/bafkreigxngjnx4xu3pttfzneiqu7ghobufz2r2rjaljft5v27dvf4l6nai@jpeg)

Even if you think Matt Wallner is a pretty good hitter, you're still probably underestimating him. The outfielder's combination of on-base skills and fearsome power put him an the most elite class of offensive players. #mntwins #twins #minnesota
