"Rick Westhead’s book is important for anyone involved in hockey — coaches, parents, players, and fans. This is a chance to change hockey culture. It must be confronted, and we all play a part in that."

Yoshinobu Yamamoto is, as Joe Davis notes, the first pitcher since Grover Cleveland Alexander to have eight syllables in his name

i would love to play center field when a no-doubt 430-foot home run is hit and run into the outfield wall at a dead sprint. as the camera cinematically pans up to follow the ball you briefly see me in the corner of the screen absolutely eating shit

issuing correction on a previous post of mine, regarding the baseball team the Dodgers. Sometimes, under very specific circumstances, you do “gotta hand it to them"

This is correct. Any candidate cynically “triangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.
I will never, ever vote for Gavin Newsom. Ever, under any circumstances. I don't care if he becomes the Dem nominee, he's still not getting my vote.
On a recent podcast Gavin Newsom tells Shawn Ryan how the Trans sports issue opened the door for him to change his mind on GAC for Trans Youth.

As someone who adored him since 2004 and voted for him 5 times, I can't wait for him to leave office.

There is no way I will be voting for him a 6th time.

This was Vin Scully's call of Henry Aaron's 715th home run. Tonight Major League Baseball cut off the first sentence, starting it with the "What a marvelous moment" part because they don't want to anger the white supremacists who run our country and of whom Rob Manfred is an ardent supporter.

Okay, I’ve seen the video. Walls looks right at the ump while tapping his helmet immediately after arguing a call. He can protest whether it was intentional, but the helmet tap is why he got thrown out.

I DECLARE THIS PREDICTION TRUE.
Excuse the bad quality but this is it. You can see the ump tap his helmet after the toss.

Oneil Cruz just hit this ball 122.9 mph.

That is the hardest hit ball in the Statcast era.

I absolutely loved this piece from Matt. If you're looking for a baseball pick-me-up today, this is it.
I called Jonathan Lucroy about a year and a half ago for a story. He didn't pick up.

Instead of Lucroy’s Southern drawl, I heard the comforting cadence of a Bob Uecker broadcast.

I wrote about the former Brewers who had Uecker record their voicemail greetings:
Bob Uecker’s Voice Lives On
The Hall of Fame broadcaster, entertainer, and big league catcher’s legacy of laughter also includes personalized voicemail recordings for former players.
