I find the bench-calling-pitches thing interesting, but it's hardly new. College has done this forever, MLB has seen it on-and-off at time for decades. Anyway, here's a delightful story about Mickey Mantle calling Whitey Ford's pitches in the 60s.

Her name: Alice Milliat. Her proposal: Women get equal access to ALL Olympic sports. Rebuffed, she created an Olympics for women in 1922. It was HUGE! The women competed in packed stadiums. Reporters dubbed Alice the apostle of women's sports.

That's a wrap on another Olympics! Women athletes owned these Games: Alysa Liu, Breezy Johnson, Hilary Knight to name a few! And there's one woman, from 100 years ago, who is the real reason women are here. She was written out of history and buried in an unmarked grave. This is a 🧵 about her!

What triggered the emergency warning at Scottsdale Stadium in the first inning? Someone was smoking in a restroom, and it set off the alarm. True story.

I get defensive as I read BP's prospect rankings/write-ups as it accurately observes all of my guy's flaws, and then I get to the end and it comps him to someone like Marco Scutaro and I feel so proud. Anyway, BP prospect analysis, let's go.

I think of the Casey Stengel quote about keeping the guys who hate you away from the guys who are undecided. On every baseball team are a few think-they're-intelligent nuts and a whole lot of suggestible guys just living their life, and you have to keep the former away from the latter.

this is an absolutely infuriating angle to take in this situation. why is it on the union to find creative solutions to ownership problems, exactly? why is it on the union to save owners from themselves when it comes to sacrificing games?

Why should "keep baseball on the field" be on the players if there's a lockout enforced by the owners? As a reminder, even if the bargaining agreement expires, baseball can still continue without a contract, as it did in 1994 before the strike. Canceling games is the owners' choice.

Seems as though they have laid off their entire photography staff. Photojournalists don’t just take photos, we report, we pitch, we take photos while our lives and safety are under threat. We explore our neighborhoods, restaurants and sports with a creative eye. Photojournalists do it all.

I'm sick, man. Telling the Washington Post Sports Department that they need to be eliminated in order to make the newspaper more essential to readers is like lining up the Boston Red Sox in front of the Green Monster and telling the financial landscape dictates Boston move on from baseball.

Who was MLB's first Black player? Not Jackie Robinson in 1947, not Moses Fleetwood Walker and his brother Weldy in 1884 … but William Edward White, in 1879. He passed for white for much of his life but, uniquely among MLB players, he was born a slave.

So an odd thing here is that if you say "an unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume" your point is to communicate "it is not really Batman" but the problem is that the real Batman, within the fiction of the comic book "Batman", is also, literally, an unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume

"Learning how to watch a thing for the job you want to do" is such a key part of learning that job. I know that sounds vague but learning how to watch basketball or football to write about it took me a lot of time and study, but it was worth it.
