I just want to say a huge thank you and appreciation to the
@SFGiants
fans. You guys are amazing, the support has been awesome and I had an unbelievable time with you. Now it’s on to
@Braves
country. I’m looking forward to this next year!!
Also a HUGE HUGE HUGE THANK YOU TO THE
@SFGiants
FANS!! You guys have sent an outpouring of love and support after inappropriate messages last night. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 🧡🖤🧡🖤
Today JR is one month old. We’re so proud of him and blessed for how far he’s come along and eternally grateful for the nurses, NPs, doctors for their continued work with our son. Extremely grateful for the
#BlueJays
organization and the fans for the support and prayers.
Now, for some amazing updates. JR self-extubated last night and the doctors thought, let’s see how he’ll do without the tube for awhile. This means skin to skin and less risk of infection. This also means Jay got to hold his 44 day old son for the first time. God is good.
Haha it’s funny to see the amount of stuff people say… I want to see them do what I do… but you right I had a bad game… no one is more pissed for making the team work harder than me… but we won: the boys picked me up. We are in first **fans… enjoy the game, be happy we won
Thank you
@Wilnerness
for the amazing story and thank you Sam for the words and all the love& support. Wouldn’t be able to do any of this without the love and support of family and friends, and of course the great fans out there. Thank you to all the fans out there!

Jay Jackson and his fiancee are going through right now with 24-day-old JR living in an incubator in a NICU in Utah for the next couple of months, at least. Grab some kleenex and give it a read:
This is just an appreciation and anniversary post to the most loving, smart beautiful woman I know. These last 2 years have been more of a rollercoaster than we could have imagined but I wouldn’t have wanted to ride it with anyone else. You have been the definition of strength
My fiancée and I would like to gladly announce that our son JR Bautista Jackson was born yesterday at 12:56am mst (2:56am est). Baby boy decided to make an entrance to this world 14-15 weeks early but is currently stable in the NICU. I want to thank the staff at
@OgdenRegional
Just want to take a moment and say how incredibly blessed I am… not just in baseball but in life to have the people I do & village I do around me. Thank you!these moments couldn’t have been done w/o you &these moments wouldn’t mean the same w/o you. Thanks for everything.

The writers failed this one… as a long life
@BarryBonds

@SFGiants
this is sad they still couldn’t get it right. Just as a pure fan of baseball… you can’t say baseball history without this man…
Heartbreaking end to a historic season. An NL West crown, a franchise wins record, and much more. We’re so proud of this
#ResilientSF
team, and we couldn’t have gotten this far without the fierce spirit and loyalty of you, the fans. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!
Blessed beyond belief. DFAd to Cy Young finalist. NEVER stop believing in yourself. Go against the grain, no such thing as a cookie cutter plan, everyone’s story is completely their own 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I want to say HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO EVERYONE!! Smile today and be thankful for whatever you can. Also happy thanksgiving to
@Braves
country for being my new home. But I’m def thankful for the
@SFGiants
fans for holding me down in the bay. Happy thanksgiving to all of you. SMILE
B4 any1 gets it twisted…I told the reporters I didn’t notice anything until I looked at the video of the pitch after the game & I told them all I just have to make a better pitch. I pitch, he hits… he won today. We play tomorrow. Only thing I care about is we lost.
3 Truths to Remember Today:
1) Happiness is an inside job.
Don't expect other people or things to make you happy.
2) Don't chase success. Decide to make a difference and success will find you.
3) Abundance flows into your life when gratitude flows out of your heart.
Happy
@MLB
opening day and best of luck to all my guys around the world playing. Thankful for another year and blessed. Thank you

Life is a heck of a long journey…and somewhere along the way we stop loving each other like when we were kids without cares… but each day we wake up is the same as it was then… love each other and

at each other. We all are here for a reason. Share a smile with someone😁
I’m excited to be back. I really want to thank the front office, staff and guys for the love they showed me before and esp when I came back today. This team is special and I’m proud to stand beside these guys!

Jay Jackson had a season to remember for the
#BlueJays
, both on and off the field. We graded his season and provided an update on his son JR’s health below. How would you grade Jackson’s performance on the mound this year?
Little JR update. Still in the NICU, hoping he’ll come home before Christmas. He’s a whopping 9 lbs now and doing well in his role as the old man in the NICU. He’s getting to be more unbelievably cute everyday.
I apologize for any anger I may have caused from my retweet. If these are the facts then Im sorry for the misunderstanding. If he doesn’t have any of those feelings in his heart then all is good. We live, we learn
NEW: The Rockies tell me last night’s incident was a fan shouting to get the attention of the Rockies mascot Dinger, not a racial slur. The Rockies have spoken to the fan who confirms this is the case. They’ve also reviewed video from the local broadcast.

What you do to the people around you in turn effects you…
Do you smile, encourage, pray, love and support the ones around you?
All that energy radiates

My father might have said one of the realest things that I needed to hear today just now on the phone….
“If you are going to worry don’t pray, but if you are going to pray don’t worry.”
Blessed to have the people around me I do.
I want to say thank you to everyone who has sent messages wishing me luck on my next journey to play for chiba.

do better... the man had a long career in this game. On the day he passes away this should not be on the headline!!! He deserves more respect than this.
All love and respect to Ichiro!! What a career. The game is losing a legend... it has been a pleasure to watch you. I appreciate the love for the game you showed!! All love!!
#ThankYouIchiro
I didn’t even know anything about it until people talking about it once I was out of the game. I will never take anything away from any big league hitters over a home run. It’s not the first time someone had hit one off me.

Thank you
@CherylFull
for the sweetest little gifts and kind words! Jay and I cannot wait to put JR in his onesie and do the puzzle with the older two. Things like this make us realize he’ll be home sooner rather than later and keeps us excited and positive. Thank you so much.
