No matter what you think of Pete Rose, he had more hits than anyone. Here’s Pete taking AROD and Big Hurt to church on how to get out of a lull (Never admit a slump!). These 34 seconds of Pete Rose gold will change your hitting life forever.

Congrats to the new inductees. The HOF is barely a museum when it omits Joe Jackson, Pete Rose, Barry Bonds, Gary Sheffield, Roger Clemens, and so many others. The exclusion of the Andrew Jones’ and Dale Murphys while enshrining guys like Phil Rizzutto is a true embarrassment.
I’m so proud of Marcell Ozuna. In spring, he said he felt he had let the fans and the club down and he was going to put in the work to redeem himself. He did it - a 40 HR season. “The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.” ― Gandhi
You can learn more about hitting in this 33 second clip of Tony Gwynn than you will from most so-called hitting guru lessons.

Outstanding explanation by Don Mattingly on why practicing “Launch angle” is a mistake. Forget the dime store hitting gurus and their self-absorbed “technique” - You’ll learn more about hitting in this clip from Donnie Baseball.

Forty seconds here with career .307 hitter Don Mattingly, talking about watching the ball correctly, can make more of a difference in your hitting than months of being screwed up by some amateur hitting guru.

Still trying to understand what kind of parents take their four year old child into a trans warp conduit to study the most feared species in the known universe? Not that it all didn’t work out for the child in the end, but really 😤
@JeriLRyan
Ted Williams sums up the physics of hitting in just 40 seconds. Who are you going to listen to, some glorified gym coach with a “Technique,” or Teddy Ballgame?

I am a professional historian. According to my research, I think it looks like a photo taken at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance, in 1955.
Mauer but no Posada; Beltre but no Barry Bonds; Helton, who played in thin Colorado air but no Keith Hernandez … come on Cooperstown, the HOF is embarrassing.

I think the Titanic is so ingrained in our history and culture that the mere name attracts interest. The immigrant story is equally important, but we hear “Titanic disaster” and take notice. It’s taught into us. I’m sorry for all lives lost, but Titanic is a bigger story.
Overheard in the grocery store:
Young boy: “Look daddy, that man has a Titans hat.”
Dad: “No son, that is a hockey team - the Montreal Canadians.”
Me: 🤦🏻♂️

For all the crap he got as the Mets manager, Terry Collins would have managed tonight’s game like it was the WS, left Lugo in, and got the W. After, the press would ask why Terry wasted Lugo for tomorrow and T.C. would have said, “We needed to win today.”

I’m going to stand up here for Don Mattingly. Many forget that his production dropped off because he had a really bad back. So bad, in fact, that most would have retired sooner. But let me tell you - Donnie Baseball was great, and this from a non-Yankee fan.
AS BASEBALL GOES, SO GOES THE COUNTRY. What Pee Wee did for Jackie he did for an entire nation. I wish more people had a little Pee Wee Reese inside of them.

Of all the outstanding work throughout the franchise during the course of nearly 60 years, none has been as remarkable or memorable as the performance spanning three seasons, and two universes, by Michelle Yeoh.

Vin Scully tells the story about the bet that Satchel Paige and Whitey Herzog made in the Minor Leagues, where Whitey bet Satchel that he couldn't throw a ball through a small hole in the fence ⚾️🎯

If you’re reading this, this means you. Thanks for being awesome people.
Now that Jason Vargas has a marginally better outing, time traveling James Madison and his Walkman can return to the 19th Century to prepare for the War of 1812.

I am not looking at the Tom Seaver news as a sad thing. Instead, I am looking at it as a reason to remember how magnificent he was, and what he meant to all Mets fans and an entire nation. Thank you, Franchise, for memories which have sustained me a lifetime.

The hospital Chaplain stopped by earlier and said some prayers with me. It’s really been a heck of a month. He returned a couple of hours later to give me a handmade glass heart that his wife, a local artisan, makes for him to hand out to people. 🥰
Hi. Thanks for all of you who have been checking in with me. I am ok. The post-epidural discomfort should begin subsiding in the next 48 hours, and I am very much looking forward to slowly getting back to normal. April has ended. Only up.

I spoke with my dad pretty much every day for 40 years, until he passed in 14. Then it shifted to my mom. In the past few years she would call me as much as 5x a day. Now I’ve lost her, too. These are voids that can’t be filled - not by my siblings; not even by my son.
As a museum executive, I can tell you that Bob “Sweet Threads” Hendricks is an absolute treasure. Hands down the best baseball historian on the planet.

Mychal Givens, Richie Martin, Richard Bleier and Dillon Tate visited the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City this week.
Richie Martin is the grandson of Walter Thomas, who played for five seasons in the Negro Leagues.

This is CGI. Too much dust when the foot slips; the whole movement at the slip is wrong; and exactly where is the person holding the camera, while floating in the air and not startling the goat?
When I adopted Agent 99 she had one dead tooth. The vet said not to worry about it, but she sometimes yelps when chewing on soft toys, and I know that isn’t right, so today I got a second opinion. 3 baby teeth that didn’t fall out and were causing pain. Always listen to your gut
What a treat to have the great Bill Irwin playing Su’kal on

. The man is phenomenal, and his performance was really magnificent. If you don’t know Irwin’s work, Google him.

I was interviewed today for a promotion that would make me my boss’ boss’ boss. 😳 Very surreal. Personally, I thought it was a courtesy thing but they are actually serious. I am sort of numb tonight. Cooking a huge Italian meal to cope.
