— virtue signals about supporting US manufacturing
— against increasing the minimum wage
— buys foreign imports because they're cheap

4000 days ago (September 15, 2014), Mets rookie Jacob deGrom ties a major league record by striking out the first eight batters he faces.
With all the injuries he’s had, sometimes it’s easy to forget just how incredible JdG was for a few years there.
