Mike J. 🌅

29 years with the same company, multiple administrative positions (finance / internal controls / contract management). During my last assignment, Corporate decided to split my job, and transfer duties to Houston and Singapore. An early retirement decision…🤷🏻‍♂️😊.

I just want to live in a country where the leader can’t enrich themselves with our tax dollars, the government does what the people want, and the wealthy have to follow the laws.

You know, like a democracy.

That’s just nice 😊 😊😊

Curling is oddly fascinating.

😂 Excellent description! There will be some Yuli Gurriels in the current mix, but likely a few valuable Gavin Sheets types too. Canning could be a steal…we’ll see.

Dragged on too long, glad it’s completed. AJP is a creative & resourceful mind.

Exhibition games commence this Friday 2/20. Finally. 🤗⚾️🤎⚾️

A fun day out! 🤗

Yes 😉

It’s that time of year 😉😂

No risk at the MLB minimum salary. Underperformance / clubhouse issues likely result in his being released. Rummaging in the bargain bin, you never know what you might find 😉.

Spring training is here! 🤗🤗🤗

Sometimes we have to make a choice.

Wonderful weather is good for the soul 🤗.

We are all immigrants. Unless you came over on the Mayflower. I am an immigrant to Canada having grown up in the US. America was built by immigrants. Some people have forgotten that.

So basically Albert Speer’s defense at Nuremberg.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

The reality is that 2024 was a fundamental test of the moral character of the nation and we failed spectacularly. We’re living with the consequences now. Maybe we improve. I hope so.

😂😂😂Oh yeah, this guy was excruciating, so slow 😂😂😂

Bud Black 🤗🤗🤗. I’ve had two by-chance encounters with him; a pleasant, friendly and polite guy. He didn’t have to be, but he was. How people behave when others are not watching is a good gauge of their character. Buddy is A+

The MLB economics showing the disparity between the Haves and the Have-Nots is almost a mirror image of our current society. Both need change.

Glad I never experienced that; it’s just not right.

Press Box soft serve ice cream machine breakdown is usually mentioned several times every season 😉.

Good for you! Taking action!

It’s difficult now, but try to focus on what you can control. The current trajectory into authoritarianism can’t continue, too many citizens will not allow it. It’s going to be difficult, but justice will prevail, and the cancer at the top removed.

The holiday season passes too quickly…

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.

The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

🤗🤗🤗

Holiday season puzzle 🤗🤗🤗.

It should be noted, Mike Piazza is so very far from being anywhere near as good of a person as Rickey. Text from the screenshot. Mike Piazza: “Rickey was the most generous guy I ever played with, and whenever the discussion came around to what we should give one of the fringe people — whether it was a minor leaguer who came up for a few days or the parking lot attendant — Rickey would shout out, ‘Full share!’ We’d argue for a while and he’d say, ‘Fuck that! You can change somebody’s life!’”

Rickey forever ♥️
