Revisiting my Playoff Trivia article, and our chances of seeing a new World Series match-up have risen dramatically. Actually kind of wild that the AL Pennant will be either the Blue Jays, Mariners, or Tigers, that's not a set you see very often.

Yep! A few years ago when they let players wear nicknames on their jerseys for a weekend, Shane even went with "Not Justin" on his.

Interesting list. Has anyone tested the correlation between lineup variety and record? I'd imagine weak but slightly negative...

Pulled this from the broadcast but held off posting until the game was actually over, and that wound up being much longer than expected. Anyway, this is quite a turnaround from last year! (2025 is now 19-8)

Actually, given that the old Nationals, Rockies, and Giants are three of my favorite ones, and they're all getting retired this season... Astros may have one of the top active ones now lol

Oh right, the Astros aren't over here yet for me to quote-post.
New Astros City Connects were revealed. I like them more than the Space City ones! Those always felt too similar to the base jerseys, like they could be normal alts. I like when the City Connects are more unusual.

Somedays I spend a lot of time thinking about potential names and weighing which ones might get me the best Rarity Scores and do poorly, and other days I just rattle off the first ones I think of over a late lunch and get an 8
