Sausalito, CA

A 6-hour layover in Nashville was just long enough to make a trip to a spot that’s been on my radar for a while now: Parnassus Books, owned by one of my favorite authors, Ann Patchett. She has signed every book of hers in the store. It was awesome! @parnassusbooks.bsky.social

Of the active ones, 25. Still need Miami, Toronto, Texas. Going to KC and MIN next week. Not counting Tampa Bay and Sacramento.

Truist Park, Atlanta GA Well, our first experience at Truist Park was an interesting one, that’s for sure! A couple of months ago we started planning a trip to see family, both in the mountains of North Carolina and…

New blog post: Truist Park in Atlanta, where we saw the ballpark but didn’t actually see a pitch. And some bonus material if you are a fan of the Walking Dead!

Excited for my first game at Truist Park in Atlanta! Might have to wait a little longer…

MLB hyped up this big Skenes vs. Misiorowski matchup and they end up pitching a total of nine innings combined. Not exactly Morris/Smoltz going on here lol

10 Stadiums 10 Days

Planning to see games at six different ballparks over the next few weeks: Truist Park, Comerica Park, Rate Field, Target Field, Kauffman Stadium, and Yankee Stadium. Three (ATL, MIN, KC) are first-time trips; excited to add them to the website! tenstadiumstendays.com

The ump at my daughter’s softball game took a pretty hard foul ball off his mask. He said “don’t worry, I’ll live!” Then he turned to the crowd and said “I’ve been doing this for 50 years and I’ve never seen a ball hit my mask yet! You know why? Because I close my eyes!” God bless umps!

If you’re anywhere near Sunnyvale tonight and want to stop by the Quarter Note Bar & Grill, you can check out some live music and we’d love to see you! Bionic Sloth hits the stage at 9, so we will go on around 10:30. Which is normally past my bedtime but…Rock and roll!!!

Sometimes Jason Benetti throws these gems out so casually that I worry not enough people are catching them lol. He just called a Kerry Carpenter long ball on an off-speed pitch, one he had to wait on for a while, the ‘Alice’s Restaurant’ of home runs. You gotta wait for it. It’ll come around 😂

Loved that guy’s glove!

Found a bunch of random ‘84 Tiger cards while cleaning the attic. If you’re a baseball fan, the odds of remembering every player on your favorite team when you were 10 years old are pretty high!

The play was officially ’on’ after Louie came out to the mound and announced “no hits, no errors!’ to the infield. We all got so excited when we heard it but it never actually worked, save one time. We celebrated like we had won game 7 of the World Series

Was just thinking about my JV baseball coach back in the early 90s, Lou Pironella, who we all affectionately called ‘Screwy Louie’ and who loved trick plays. As a first baseman, my favorite was a wild fake pickoff where the pitcher would fake to first and I’d take off running after the pretend throw

Game 1 and already opposing teams broadcast are weighing in. This executive FO has made one bad PR move after the next and this was always a puzzling one.

Always great watching the Spartans beat Michigan in Ann Arbor! Go Green!!💚🤍💚

Berkeley’s Kenney Field: Billy Ball Begins Few characters in baseball history are surrounded by the mystique afforded Billy Martin. A solid, scrappy player in his own right, Martin is best known as the argumentative, fist-fightin, umpire-ar…

Six years ago today I went in search of Billy Martin’s Berkeley childhood. This is what I wrote.

I was told there would be more rigging than this. Does the rigging start soon? #SuperBowl

Had a great time chatting about all things baseball with @baseballed.bsky.social on the Pod By the River podcast; give it a listen when you have a chance!

Literally impossible for Lions fans to watch this game without thinking about a massive opportunity squandered. Ford Field should be rocking right now. Yes, I’m bitter and whiny about it 😂

My least favorite baseball season is complain-about-hall-of-fame-voting season

I’m sure there’s probably more to it than this, but it looked like the Notre Dame defender was jumping up and down to show that he was 100% sure who was getting the ball for Ohio State on that TD, and then when the play started he ran far away from that guy 😂

GOOOOOO Lions!!!! 💙🤍💙🤍

Nice win on the road for Michigan State 🏀 over Ohio State; and especially cool to hear the LOUD ‘Go Green 💚 Go White 🤍’ chants throughout the game from the fans!

Just saw a commercial for a movie called ‘Den of Thieves 2’ and I’m wondering if it’s important that I know the plot of ‘Den of Thieves 1’ or that this movie even existed before seeing the second one

I know there are a lot of playoff critics, but it seems like any college football semifinal that doesn’t include either Georgia or Alabama is a success

Hanging out at the #FiestaBowl with my little brother, who is a proud Penn State alum! Since my team is horrible, I’ve adopted this one! 😂

RIP Charlie Maxwell, who was the Detroit Tigers oldest living former player at 97. This is a crazy fact: his first three big league home runs came against Bob Feller, Bob Lemon and Satchel Paige!
