This is terrific
Kristian Campbell asked who his roommate would be on the road trip after he learned he made the team.

They let him wonder a bit before Alex Cora told the rookie you get your own room in the big leagues.

The Padres do right by Bryce Miller, the San Diego Union-Tribune’s graceful columnist who passed last week at 56. An empty spot in press box but he is in our hearts as we start the 2025 season.

My 26th @baseballhall.org ballot: Ichiro Suzuki, CC Sabathia, Billy Wagner.
January 21, 2025 at 11:25 PM
Ichiro Suzuki missed becoming a unanimous @baseballhall.org by one vote. He received 99.7 percent of the vote. CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner are elected as well. A great day for baseball.

Farewell, Bob Uecker, we will miss you every day. What a life, what a man, what joy he brought to all of us in so many ways over so many decades. Say hello to Vin and Ernie for us as you make your way to heaven’s Bob Uecker seats, my friend. RIP and God bless the Uecker family.

There are days I miss writing about baseball more than others. Imagining the Rickey section I’d have done with @tylerkepner.bsky.social, @scottmillerbbl.bsky.social, Dave, James and our other pals has me feeling wildly nostalgic.

Congratulations to the legend, Tom Boswell, for winning the BBWAA Career Excellence Award, announced Tuesday morning at winter meetings in Dallas. Boz’s Why Time Begins On Opening Day is one of many seminal books and columns he’s written that have educated & entertained. Bravo!

Just stop it with the Golden At-Bat. Fine, Commish Rob Manfred threw out a trial balloon, and here's hoping it pops and lands immediately. It is a wretched idea. Baseball should be embracing some of its unique elements, not looking to dissolve all of them.

Been meaning to give shout out to handful of books I've read in past couple of months: The Last of His Kind, Andy McCullough's terrific biography of Clayton Kershaw, delivers rich detail & deep insight. Absolute pleasure to read an author with masterful knowledge of his subject
