The only person in baseball history to put himself on an all-time team. And totally appropriate!

JORDON MCDONALD DELIVERS

AROUND THE HORN

THEY’RE ROARING IN HERE FOR HIM

That makes it 5-4 McDonald leading McEwen heading to the 8th end. My goodness. What a shot.

Love seeing SABR research being put to good use on these reels! There’s a dozen more fantastic videos on her feeds too, especially about the absurdity of old ballparks. www.instagram.com/reel/DQa1CWA...

These are ridiculous Ohtani-grade numbers

I used to handle interlibrary loans for a public library. ILL is a magnificent expression of the idea that readers deserve books, and books deserve readers. It’s libraries everywhere pooling their resources for the benefit of everyone.

Killing IMLS could have killed ILL.

This is great news. 📚

Moved to EP in 7th grade. Born in the city and bounced around the south side before his parents’ divorce.

Thanks! Hope you’re doing well back in AZ!

Michigan's 'hardest working team' claim and how it backs it up - The IX Basketball Michigan touts itself as the hardest working team in the country. On Saturday, against Notre Dame, they backed it up. Here's how they did it.

In case you want to know more about this Michigan team hanging with UConn tonight, our @thomascostello.bsky.social just wrote a great piece on them @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAW www.thenexthoops.com/features/mic...

We got the Bonne Maman calendar with all the mini jam jars. Started opening them randomly a few weeks ago … and it is delightful.

Time to dance the Charleston and speculate wildly on the stock market. For the first time in a century, Ivy League football is going to get a shot at a national title.

So sorry for your loss.

Sarah Strong appears to be … unstoppable.

A 1990s color photo of Felix Potvin of the Toronto Maple Leafs with a custom blue goalie mask featuring cat fangs, befitting his nickname.

I will always have a soft spot for Felix the Cat, and how his mask changed colors whenever he switched teams.

Spent a fascinating afternoon at the Greenwood Rising / Black Wall St. History Center with @usltactics.com.

Absolutely worth your time when you're in Tulsa, tremendous work and exhibits.

Also true for Greg Maddux the very same year! He entered a suspended game (called for darkness at pre-lights Wrigley) as a pinch-runner on September 3, but is credited for making his debut on September 2.

Whitmore top pick in historic Women's Pro Baseball League draft When the first name was called at the inaugural Women’s Professional Baseball League (WPBL) Draft on Thursday night, there was little surprise: When it comes to the world of women’s baseball, Kelsie W...

"I needed to make sure I'm proving myself, that I earned this contract," Kelsie Whitmore said. "Now coming into this league, I feel like myself is finally enough.”

History was made at the inaugural WPBL draft last night:

NEWS: The NCAA announces that 2/3 of Division I voted to RESCIND a previously approved rule change that would have allowed student-athletes and athletics department staff members to legally participate in sports betting on professional sports only.


No betting on pro sports.

Damn him for already knowing about this article … but not actually doing anything with it!

It’s especially annoying when you click on the clip details … and it’s just past you from 4 years ago!

Nearly all immigrants detained in Trump Chicago raid had no criminal conviction Data sharply contradicts officials’ portrayal of immigration sweeps as effort to fight ‘worst of the worst’ criminals

It’s almost like they weren’t planning to go after the “worst of the worst” and just wanted to go after people of color.

At a recent gathering of Rogers Park volunteers, we heard from a neighbor who choked up telling us about their dad turning around and going home when he heard whistles up the street. "One of you may have saved his life that day." It all matters, it really does.

I think MN already is #1 in number of members who have signed up for this new committee.

1925 Waycross, Georgia, baseball team, including Shoeless Joe Jackson (third from right). 12 players are standing in a line with their hands on their hips on a patchy dirt baseball field with weeds sticking up in places. A covered wooden grandstand, empty of fans, is behind them.

Excited to be part of SABR's newest research committee — the Town Ball Committee — focusing on amateur/semipro baseball in local communities. My former intern Jude Butler has taken charge to launch this project. sabr.org/latest/sabr-...

In undergrad, before defending my senior thesis, my advisor told me to say “I don’t know” if I didn’t know the answer to a question, rather than painfully trying to bullshit my way through the answer. Thank you, Dr. Fulkerson for giving me some of the best, most useful advice I’ve ever gotten.
