These songs fucking ROCK 🤘

We went to this event last year, and it's a blast! My only critique about the article is that it didn't mention the Pumpkin Drop, when they hoist a giant gourd up several stories with a crane and drop it onto a field behind a school. (Unless it was nixed this year.) www.nytimes.com/2025/10/25/s...

Want some savory (or sweet!), tasty pierogi for these increasingly colder days? My wife wrote just the book! 25% off through Friday (and signed, if you want!) www.caseybarber.com/publications/

Yessssssss

This was a lot of fun. Congratulations, @yogiberramuseum.bsky.social ! www.mlb.com/news/new-gui...

Something cool is happening at @yogiberramuseum.bsky.social on Sept. 21. You should come have a catch! www.mlb.com/news/yogi-be...

Already saved ... for the Trade Deadline 🤦‍♂️

Hinchliffe Stadium got a marker on the New Jersey Black Heritage Trail today. Pretty cool: www.mlb.com/news/hinchli...

Has this instance of "The Simpsons" predicting the future been logged?

Was a joy to cover Dave Parker's induction this weekend. www.mlb.com/news/dave-pa...

A quick list of players whose name (or a nickname) is also a genre of music ... Jazz Chisholm Christian Walker Tim "Rock" Raines Adrian "Pop" Anson Enos "Country" Slaughter Walter "Punk" Gautreau Anthony "Disco" DeSclafani

Outstanding research by @markarmour04.bsky.social. Saw the presentation at the #SABR convention and look forward to its next form. (Story by @castroturf.bsky.social). www.mlb.com/news/mapping...

Always good to revisit the story of the debut of #LarryDoby from @castroturf.bsky.social www.mlb.com/news/how-lar...

The second East-West Classic was a blast -- and CC Sabathia wants to continue the tradition. www.mlb.com/news/east-we...

Got to write about a refurbished field at Willie Mays Park in his hometown of Fairfield, Ala. www.mlb.com/news/willie-...

This guy!

It's always fun researching stories about Babe Ruth. www.mlb.com/news/babe-ru...

A beautiful day to celebrate Yogi Berra's 100th birthday at @yogiberramuseum.bsky.social www.mlb.com/news/yogi-be...

Always good to be back at a BlueClaws game. And now I have a Jersey Shore Locals cap. I may live up north, but the Shore is home.

Paterson LOVES Larry Doby (and rightfully so). The renovated Larry Doby Field looks great! www.mlb.com/news/renovat...

This is going to be a lot of fun. Can't wait to visit Rickwood Field for the first time for the second installment of the revived East-West Classic. www.mlb.com/news/2025-ea...

I got sunshine. #letsgomets

New Mets mascot race. The Staten Island Ferry went the wrong way. The giraffe from the Bronx Zoo got out to a big lead but fell when flaunting it. The Queens subway car won, of course. I suspect the Bronx will be the Teddy Roosevelt of this race: It'll never win.

Forever immortalized in song. Rest easy, Joe.

The Opening Day bunting is out! #openingday

Heck yeah, this was a lot of fun!

My first game of 2025 is UMBC vs. NJIT at Yogi Berra Stadium - because I'm at the Yogi Berra Museum & Learning Center to Celebrate Baseball today from noon-5 pm. Come by!

SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY!!! I'll be talking about Bruce Springsteen and baseball!

Jack Kerouac was born 103 years ago. I put this together on what would've been his 100th birthday. www.mlb.com/news/feature...

MLB's oldest living former player, Art Shallock, passed away earlier this week, about seven weeks before he would've turned 101 years old. www.mlb.com/news/art-sch...

Just last week, I was looking at the list of oldest living ballplayers and saw there were only 3 St. Louis Browns left. I looked into the oldest, Frank Saucier, and found a fascinating life. He passed away on Monday. May he rest in peace. www.mlb.com/news/frank-s...

Talked to a couple people at Topps about this year's design for today's Series 1 release: www.mlb.com/news/2025-to...

A fruitful trip to the card shop with @thelensofdonnam.bsky.social

One more sleep till ... !!!

My two main takeaways from the HOF election results: 1) There is no compelling reason NOT to vote for Ichiro. It wasn't an overstuffed ballot. 2) In no way should Omar Vizquel be getting more votes than David Wright, let alone twice as many. And not just because of character.

Stop coloring your beard, Ryan Day. You'll never be as handsome as Marcus Freeman.

Ugh - Eagles or Commanders in the Super Bowl? Go AFC!

I think what I loved while putting this together is that in every clip, there is never the hint of a smile. He delivers everything with a straight face while making everyone around him crack up. Thanks for all the laughs, #BobUecker www.mlb.com/news/bob-uec...

Went looking for a used copy of #BlackAces online and ended up paying a little bit more than expected because I found one that happened to be inscribed to me (and to a cat).

Big words, Heavy J, thank you!

If you missed it ...

Absolutely LOVE the selection I got from @gummyarts.bsky.social, particularly Johnny Cash and Larry Doby.

Tomorrow night!

I should've known better than to pick Miami to win a bowl game. 1-12 from 2008 to today, and they haven't played one in January since 2004.

If the winner of the Pop Tarts Bowl gets a giant Pop Tart to eat, what does the winner of the Snoop Dogg Bowl get??
