Emmet Sheehan’s gloves all say “K ALS” That’s inspired by @PF3Foundation & @BCBirdBall, whose annual ALS awareness game was today at Fenway Every single time that sentiment — strike out ALS — is on an MLB mound is special Even more so given the awareness game today #EndALS

George Springer has fractured his left big toe.

Today In 1962: The Los Angeles #Dodgers hosted their first Opening Day at Dodger Stadium! The great Vin Scully talks about how the team had to use vegetable dye to make the grass look green! #MLB #Baseball #History

Shoutout to the Mets for this 📸 @mets.com

RIP Afrika Bambaataa. One of my next-door neighbors (first name: Bambaataa) is living evidence of his influence on 70's hip hop culture.

Obviously they're on their way to three different auditions — Snap is going for the part of Willy Wonka, Crackle is hoping to be cast as an extra in the Scooby Doo reboot, while Pop has already landed the role of "High School Teenager #3"

The tributes to Davey Lopes are pouring in, a reminder of how many lives one man can touch over six decades in professional baseball.

Most resilient active professional baseball player? I might go with Connor Joe: • traded four times • beat cancer • taken in 2019 Rule 5 draft, returned almost immediately • nine organizations in 13 pro seasons • just got called up by Mariners for 7th MLB season

Miguel Rojas announced on Instagram this morning that his father, Miguel Rojas Sr., died on Tuesday

Nobel Peace Prize winner Walt Weiss

Okay, but I saw this one today on a parked car, and I feel like I need to share it: 1. An Aston Martin! 2. A White Sox plate? lol 3. "UGH"

This is definitely a YouTube teaser still for a sports podcast titled “Schneids Goes OFF on Ump!!”

The Dodgers scratched Miguel Rojas from their lineup for today's game against the Blue Jays. Hyeseong Kim is playing shortstop and batting eighth instead.

I could’ve sworn I put my daughter to bed before DTF St. Louis comes on, then this comes home with her.

It almost looks like Miguel Rojas is apologizing to Andres Gimenez and Gimenez is having none of it. That’s not what’s actually going on, though he should be. #Bluejays #Dodgers

Jo Adell robbing three homers moved him to the 18th percentile in Outs Above Average on Baseball Savant.

never forget when the Easter Bunny sent Teddy Roosevelt to the shadow realm

Imagining someone who has no idea about the weather in New York reading this post. "We're just not going to start on time, OK? We'll tell you why later."

Mookie Betts is going on the injured list.

Maybe the Angels should keep Jo Adell in right field. Just a thought.

I used to celebrate Easter, but now that I have kids it’s called Paas-over.

The first pick in the Atlantic League draft was a 53-year-old knuckleballer who was drafted 36 years ago by the San Francisco Giants:

It's cliché to say Cody Bellinger "looks as surprised as anyone" but I'll give him a pass after making that catch.

The Angels announce they traded Victor Mederos to the Braves for international bonus pool space.

If George Takei is not the expert, we have been robbed.

She made one album in 1974. Now her song is playing in a new A24 movie

A week after Dodgers owner Mark Walter effectively endorsed a salary cap ("We can’t win all the time," he told Bill Shaikin), Pirates owner Bob Nutting punted on the chance to say "we can't lose all the time" in favor of something far less quotable.

So, the #Dodgers' blue road jerseys.

It's not the worst example of how Netflix is handling their shiny new MLB rights, but their insistence on cramming a baseball metaphor into every. damn. social. post. is like failing to tag up on a fly ball to the outfield

Every man has had these three exact roommates

Is there a straight line from the Griffin/Emerson/Pratt extensions to MLB trying to impose a salary cap? Are teams suddenly being more aggressive offering contract extensions, or is a small sample of players willing to sign because, hey, that's a lot of money!?

Every time I discover a new gray hair, I need to remind myself that I'm older than Ed Asner in the opening credits of MTM

Colt Emerson's record for the largest contract extension for a player prior to his debut lasted about 48 hours. Konnor Griffin (who debuts today) is getting nine years and $140 million from the Pirates, per Buster Olney.

Shohei Ohtani takes batting practice, look what happens.

This is Sandy Alcantara’s 10th complete game since the start of 2022 That’s two more than anyone else in MLB in that span…even though his last before today was in 2023!
