ALT text copied and pasted from the linked website: An infographic titled “How To Write Alt Text” featuring a photo of a capybara. Parts of alt text are divided by color, including identify who, expression, description, colour, and interesting features. The finished description reads “A capybara looking relaxed in a hot spa. Yellow yuzu fruits are floating in the water, and one is balanced on the top of the capybara’s head.”

Posting this again because a lot of people said they found it helpful! Guide to ALT text: www.perkins.org/resource/how...

the 2001 Mariners gave up the biggest late-innings comeback ever to a bunch of Cleveland scrubs, it's fine it's fine

screenshot of Mariners outfielder Randy Arozarena throwing out a runner at home plate

call him Mr. Ex-ico because that runner is "past tense" #goms

ADIOS? ADI-DOS!

Optimist: the cup is half full

Pessimist: the cup is half empty

MLB Catcher: the cup is my best friend

Surprised that Chuck needed to write his #7 uniform inside the cap bill. What player would risk swiping your boss's hat? :-)

Heck of a way to lay that out!

Newspaper coverage of Joe Walsh's under-the-table payments by manager Frank Selee during the 1889 baseball season

Speaking of haunted, this is future HOF manager Frank Selee paying players like "Reddy" Walsh (for his red hair) off the books to keep them favorable to Frank's friends at the Boston club, should they want to sign Walsh at a future time. A number of 19th-century clubs did this.

I was told football season was over and that Seattle had won the footbals

1889 newspaper question and answer column that ruminates on the baseball of a decade earlier, when bettors and gamblers nearly ruined the game

1889, when sportswriters looked back on the era of sports gambling as a haunted time for baseball

Sheet of New York Yankees baseball cards from 1925

Hug is in there somewhere!

when i tell people from the 1980s that madonna's best film role was a baseball movie, you know i'm right

Film screening announcement for the baseball classic "A League of Their Own"

Kat Vonnegut would like to share his opinion on @splitseason1981.bsky.social #KatOnKatz

Control wasn’t his strong suit to start with and I suspect the stress of being signed as his new team’s workhorse had a lot to do with that poor performance.

Don Mossi! Toothpick Sam! My day's complete before it began.

Completed Immaculate Grid trivia game with Joe Cowley in the middle square for Phillies and White Sox

Dead center, a man whose MLB career should've been peaking right as it wrapped

still sixty day until the first of may

can't wait for #cotuitcouture

Horizontal baseball card of Yankees catcher Thurman Munson tagging out an Oakland runner and home plate who's sprawling face-first with his cleats in the air. The card includes a Topps All-Star Rookie trophy.

Chuck Dobson is the runner, I believe

Oh, Otis and Campy must be terrific connections for this game.

1950s Browns > Brooks Robinson > 1977 Eddie Murray > 1997 Paul Konerko might be the shortest connection from St. Louis Browns to active players today

So close today; my fault for forgetting what Iron Man McGinnity looks like!

It was interesting to see how far you CAN move off Hubbs, since he played CHC with Santo, who played on CHW with Downing, who played on TEX with Pudge Rodriguez

Low 20s today, got to use three of my favorite M's, all for various reasons

True, I was blowing smoke on that one -- but maybe a four-step move could work...
