- Sean Doolittle, on Daniel Hudson choosing the birth of his daughter over Game 1 of the NLCS ... “If your reaction to someone having a baby is anything other than, ‘Congratulations, I hope everybody’s healthy,’ you’re an asshole.”
- Spoke with Ken Griffey Jr. this morning. His Zoom background is stellar.
- When you were a kid, what player's batting stance was your favorite to imitate?
- Want to see something really cool? The Brewers are all still on the top step, waiting for Wainwright.
- Once interviewed Bill Walton on the phone. Asked him two questions and he talked for 25 minutes, about everything. I laughed the whole time. 30 seconds after we hung up, the phone rang. “Ryan! Bill Walton! I thought about another story to tell you.” So awesome. RIP, Bill.Bill Walton laughed at himself; cared deeply about people history ignored; and was one of the greatest athletes to ever walk the Earth. A planet he both adored and transcended. RIP 💔
- Before every game. Doesn’t matter if it’s spring training or the World Series. Before every game, Ron Washington and the Atlanta infielders are out here, working through Wash’s fielding drills. sportingnews.com/us/amp/mlb/new…
00:00 - Max Scherzer wanted a picture with Albert Pujols, with the Arch in the background
- Florida Gulf Coast isn't the only Dunk City in Orlando, apparently. Seems @ETSUAthletics has big-time dunkers, too
00:00 - I've never understood why MLB teams making crazy amounts of money make insulting low-ball offers to fans who catch historically significant home run baseballs. The latest example happened in Detroit, where Albert Pujols homered for his 2,000th RBI. readsn.com/2VUgmzm
- what’s your favorite sports picture on your phone?
