Shouts to Adam Hall in this story. The only pro ball player to ever come out of the island of Bermuda will play for Canada

Some of my absolute favorite dudes and stories in this year’s World Baseball Classic: www.mlb.com/news/world-b...

By the way, I will be in Puerto Rico covering Pool A for the WBC. Super pumped. Also, I will personally try and find the spot where this 618 foot dinger landed

“Everybody kept quiet. No one had seen something like that. They were all shocked.” The great Josh Gibson really (may have?) hit a 600-foot home run in Puerto Rico. Here’s the wild story www.mlb.com/news/josh-gi...

Led by Jose Quintana and coming off impressive play in the 2017 and 2023 World Baseball Classics, Colombia looks to have a great shot at getting to their first WBC quarterfinal in 2026. www.mlb.com/news/colombi...

"I have done some deer hunting up there, but wouldn't think that would make me the most-searched old, washed-up baseball player in 2025." The full, ridiculous tale of how one man made Kyle Farnsworth @baseball-reference.com's most searched pitcher in Iowa for 2025: www.mlb.com/news/kyle-fa...

The accompanying video is incredible

The richest man in the world is now fully gutting an absolute institution. Fuck this.

I think I forgot that Carlos Santana first started his career as a catcher. His first game, in 2010, he caught Jake Westbrook (who's been retired for 13 years now). Pudge Rodriguez was the opposing catcher

New favorite player alert? Cocaina Garcia He earned his unusual nickname as a result of batters who "seemed drugged by his pitches and unable to concentrate or focus on the baseball." www.baseball-reference.com/players/g/ga...

Shouts to Adam Hall, who's playing for his dad's home country Canada in the WBC. Hall grew up in Bermuda, and is the only pro player ever from there. I talked to him about playing ball on the 6-field, island paradise last summer. "It wasn't too busy." www.mlb.com/news/adam-ha...

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

Where is Congress? America is being sold down the river by its lying, corrupt, cowardly, mentally failing President. Where is Congress? If you ever take your responsibilities seriously, now is the time. Stand up for your constituents, be brave, send a message to the rest of the world. Act now.

"We nonetheless bet on what tends to work. And big butts tend to work when it comes to power." I did an important investigation into whether big butts make baseball players better. And they do. A lot. www.mlb.com/news/cal-ral...

BIG DUMPERS EQUALS BETTER BASEBALL POWER. IT IS SCIENCE. POWER BOTTOMS OR BUST 🍑🍑🍑🍑

IMPORTANT JOURNALISM ALERT

Important work by @mattmonagan.bsky.social:

“Big butts tend to work when it comes to power” I did an important investigation - interviewing scouts, fitness experts, trainers and former players - into how much having a bigger butt makes you better at baseball. It’s a lot, apparently. www.mlb.com/news/cal-ral...

LFG @samdykstramilb.bsky.social

Mayor Jacob Frey: “To ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis.”

Rooting for Jason Collins. My wife passed away from this same wild type of stage-4 Glioblastoma. She fought for almost two years, five years ago. A strong mentality, positivity and support are all huge. He seems to have all of that. Go fuck it up, Jason

Tony Freitas is an MiLB pitching legend. His 342 career Ws are fourth best ever. He struck out Babe Ruth, he went 17 innings against Dizzy Dean. Oh, and there's that time he got let out of jail, pitched a complete game, and then went back to jail again. www.mlb.com/news/tony-fr...

Some players make history for winning batting titles in the AL and NL, Tony Gwynn won a ridiculous 8 total in his career, but nobody, besides a player from the early 1900s … won one while he was dead. www.mlb.com/news/heinie-...

Just a reminder - not a remainder.

Off baseball for a minute. Two years ago, my dad nearly died fighting off two kinds of blood cancer. He did a stem cell transplant (with me). It was a long, difficult, at times, heartbreaking process, but he was cured. He wrote a memoir on it here www.amazon.com/First-They-K...

Just published - "First They Kill You." My story of two cancers and stem-cell replacement. It's got self-doubt and bad dreams, medical marvels, helpful hallucinations and the love of family and friends. I judge it a damn good read but that's just me talking. www.amazon.com/First-They-K...

A look inside the Storehouse tonight. 140 people and counting ..

A generation ago, Yoshinobu Yamamoto's World Series CG would have seemed impossible. There were few scouts in Japan and little attention paid to its players. I spoke to @danevans108.bsky.social, current LAD director of travel Scott Akasaki, and fmr scout Ted Heid about how they changed all of that.

Giving this one more bump, before Game 5, because, thanks to @mattmonagan.bsky.social, I wish I could've been at The Storehouse Bar and Grill when Vladdy Jr. went yard and the Jays bounced back from an 18-inning gut-punch the night before (OK, the finish actually came earlier in the day Tuesday).

Always read Mono

In Canada's northernmost city, 1,455 miles from Toronto, where polar bears and narwhals roam - there's a bar called The Storehouse. It's filled with diehard Blue Jays fans who'll be eagerly watching Game 3 tonight. “It feels like we’re on the moon." www.mlb.com/news/blue-ja...

Really enjoyed this from @mattmonagan.bsky.social about Jays fans following the Series at the northernmost sports bar in Canada www.mlb.com/news/blue-ja...

“It feels like we’re on the moon.” In Canada’s northernmost city, more than 1400 miles from Toronto where polar bears and narwhals roam - there’s a bar called The Storehouse. It’s filled every night with diehard Blue Jays fans. A very fun one to write. www.mlb.com/news/blue-ja...

I finally boiled down 65 years of listening to pop, rock and R&B to a favorite Top 20. See if you agree or think I'm crazy. www.charlesmonagan.com/2025/10/21/t...

50 years ago, cameras caught Carlton Fisk waving his ball fair in the '75 World Series. An iconic shot that delighted audiences and made it standard for TV directors to film player reactions/emotions moving forward. And it all happened because of a rat. www.mlb.com/news/carlton...

They call her The Baseball Princess 13 year old Francys Sandoval recently led Venezuela to LLWS intermediate title, striking out boys with her 76 mph fastball. Her ultimate dream? “Las Grandes Ligas” The big leagues www.mlb.com/news/13-year...

Georgina Corrick just won AUSL's Pitcher of the Year award, she's maybe the current best softball pitcher on Earth, she'll be leading the Talons this weekend in the championship. But where she might feel most at home is under the sea. www.mlb.com/news/ausl-st...

8 sluggers will be hammering dingers as far as they can tonight in Atlanta. But 70 years ago, Bob Montag hit the farthest homer in Georgia (and maybe all of pro baseball) history. 518 miles. www.mlb.com/news/bob-mon...

8 sluggers will be crushing baseballs in the Home Run Derby in two days in Atlanta. But none of them will eclipse Atlanta’s longest home run, and maybe the longest home run ever: Bob Montag’s 518-mile dinger in 1954. www.mlb.com/news/bob-mon...

There's a 103 mph-throwing @MLB Draft prospect named Jack Bauer, after Kiefer Sutherland's "24" character. I contacted Sutherland's reps, not expecting him to get back to me, but he did. "I'm not the most avid fan, but now I've got something to root for" www.mlb.com/news/mlb-dra...
