Finally put it together.

The first Dick Perez puzzle that was produced. Glad to add it to my baseball card collection.

The colors are so vivid and lush.

BP is a machine that makes you think better about baseball, and if you read enough of @euqubud.baseballprospectus.com's work it'll give you persistent depressive disorder too. A bargain even at the new price, if you're a sports fan
hey everyone, today we're announcing something at BP that is both long overdue and something I wish we could keep holding off on, but the reality is we can't: a price change to our subscription.

We'll continue to provide one of the best value props out there, and keep earning your support.

Sources told @theathletic.com the WNBA’s salary structure proposal would result in players receiving less than 15% of total league revenue.

Plus, news on many more proposal items with @benpickman.bsky.social, including a (mandatory?) draft combine, benefits and more. www.nytimes.com/athletic/685...

BREAKING: The WNBA has proposed cutting team housing in addition to an earlier start date, according to multiple sources.

The start date for training camp could be as early as mid-March, sources indicated, which would come with serious implications.

The Phoenix Mercury enters brand redesign hell for no good reason.

They had owned - perhaps - the most iconic logo in the #WNBA

Don’t get it.

The Phoenix Mercury have announced the team's first-ever rebrand.

It includes a new brand look with redesigned logos and wordmarks.

It’s official. ZERO black women coaches in the WNBA. Fucking ridiculous.

While men are dominating in head coaching positions. Meanwhile the NBA has yet to hire a female coach.

Is this a sign of growth in the W? I think tf NOT!! 🤬 #WNBA #NBA #FOHWTBS
