Since the Yankee have lifted their facial hair policy, here is an AI image of what Derek Jeter would look like with a beard.

The bare face that single handedly ended the Yankees archaic facial hair policy.

I polled employees from all 32 MLB teams and they unanimously voted Juan Soto the worst free agent contract of the offseason.

*Note the employees polled range from janitors to concession workers and even as high up as ticket sales reps.

Are people saying the score bug is too big?

NEWS: Elon Musk's DOGE has its sights set on cutting the Mets spending. In an email obtained by the @natlinquirer.bsky.social, a 20 year old hired from Discord has ordered Mets owner, Steve Cohen, to cease all spending. Payroll dump trades are likely & even contract termination for players & staff.

Brandon Nimmo has told me he's working on a new batting stance focused on the far right of the batters box. He's calling it, Project 2025.

Since I got a lot of backlash for my ballot on X, I figured bluesky might be kinder. I put a lot of thought into this and I am honored to be the only 3 time Pulitzer Prize winner to have a vote.
