Bring on the ballots! The 2026 BBWAA Hall of Fame ballot features 27 former players, including 15 new candidates. Results will be announced live on MLB Network on Jan. 20. baseballhall.org/bbwaa

Missed opportunity to call it Willem Dafoetographic

AM bump: Come for the vintage advertisements, stay to see Ted Williams’ roiling torment about midway through.

Ted Williams had no love lost for reporters, which made his rapport with Bob Wolff that much more remarkable. My latest for @baseballhall.org explores this rare interview from his playing days: baseballhall.org/discover/ted...

I haven’t seen a Cuomo debase himself like this since Raditude. FOLKS

I haven’t seen a Cuomo humiliated this badly since Pinkerton. Folks,

For anyone who wanted the Padres to bring orange and navy back into the uniform rotation, the Día de los Muertos teaser may be a sign

Baseball images that precede unfortunate events

This time I'm really going to do it.

This would not be the first time a Will Smith got in one little fight and later found his fortune in Southern California

THIS IS THE LAST STRAW would be the greatest World Series headline of all time

That’s disgusting. …Heinz flavoured mayo?

Humming Hells Bells

When I was 8 and the benches cleared in an indy league game, I wanted my fellow batboys to clear the benches too and fake fight as a Leslie Nielsenesque bit. This was frowned upon by adults

BO MY GOD

I’m not Canadian, but Spotify Wrapped will think I am after streaming @billytalent.com relentlessly through this World Series

Well they don’t call him Glaslater

George Springer tonight

Is it just me or are they bringing out larger Canadian flags with each passing game

Imagine my shock when I checked the metrics for a minor league blog typically pulling daily views in the low triple digits and saw 2,000 referrals from Uni Watch. Paul's relentless drive and nose for news was a model for every young writer, and this loss will be deeply felt.

Blue Jays to Snell, twice

“Game 5 winner has won the World Series 67 percent of the time” “Game 5 winner has won 6 of the last 7 World Series”

Oasis on an official World Series video package??

Might be time to start warming up…

Is Trump running? Is AOC running? Can’t tell you but every single player in this World Series is

Beam me up

It was considerate of Enrique to wear a Kids in the Hall shirt in Canada but I don’t seem to remember this green-haired character

[SPOILER] Deliver Me from Nowhere has an end credits scene where the Max Weinberg Seven meet up like the Avengers

To appeal to their GenZ fans I think the 76ers should rebrand to the Six Seveners

Update (PUPdate)

Naylor? More like the Nayl-ee! Folks…

We are nine innings away from either Ben Gibbard singing the national anthem at Game 4 of the World Series or Death Cab releasing the saddest album of all time

No line for a Whopper today

If I ask how you found out about this position and you say Bluesky, my followup question will be "Seriously?"

Any plans for next summer? How about a position in Cooperstown? Applications are now open for the 2026 Steele Internship Program! ➡️ baseballhall.org/intern

Trying to figure out the next AJ Preller-chosen manager is like trying to predict a pope. If their name is in the mix, it’s not gonna happen

Won’t tag anybody but let’s just say getting this *history* wrong is *nuts*

The good news is we’re three innings away from Ichiro pinch-hitting

There are only two possibilities at this moment: Will Best or Won’t Vest

Still accurate.
