The replies. LOL. Most of you definitely do not “K.”
With the World Baseball Classic about to get going, it’s time to bring this baby out again. IYKYK

It’s time.
One of my tortilla chips broke off in almost the exact shape of North Carolina.
Happy February! There will be live MLB games this month and every month through October.
I'm working today, so I can't go outside. But the last time we had significant snow in the Charlotte area (2018), I did this. I'm mentally doing it again today.
If you really want to feel old(er), the Challenger explosion was 40 years ago today: Jan. 28, 1986.
Some of you know that I like fun baseball T-shirts. With spring training around the corner, I’ve started a small shop on Tee Public. I’ve got more than 100 designs (I’ve used a lot of templates) that range from mildly silly to really silly. There are dad jokes too. www.teepublic.com/user/simple-...
I love watching players learn they've made the Hall of Fame.
I found my first “press” pass. This would’ve been 1993-94. The best thing about it was that it let you roam the halls during class. You can tell I was both cool and serious because I’m wearing a tie.
ICYMI: Here's a roundup of mlb.com writers' Hall of Fame ballots. Now you can yell at us all! www.mlb.com/news/how-mlb...
Happy New Year: These movies are now 40 years old: Top Gun, Ferris Bueller‘s Day Off, Stand By Me, An American Tail, Aliens and Three Amigos.
These movies are now 30 years old: Independence Day, Twister, Mission: Impossible, The Rock, Space Jam and Jerry Maguire. Happy 2026, fellow old people!
My first Hall of Fame ballot was a thrill and an honor. But it was harder than I thought.

Not that anyone needed proof of my nerdiness, but Apple Music offers some hard data.
Merry Christmas!

Found a cool T-shirt today.
It was 25 years ago today that I began my career as a professional journalist. The journey from then to now has been a blast, even with the industry’s curveballs. On that first day at The Gaston Gazette, I never would’ve envisioned covering baseball for a living. I’m undeservedly blessed.
I’m normally opposed to all uses of “tis the season” in copy during the holidays, but the Blue Jays found a way to make it a little fresh. I’ll allow it this once.
The first ornament is on the tree. Santa frozen in carbonite. Welcome to Nerd Christmas.
David Wright has an interesting Hall of Fame case. For example, he played 1,585 games and compiled an .867 OPS. The only primary third basemen in history to play at least that many games and have a higher OPS are:
--Chipper Jones
--Mike Schmidt
--Eddie Mathews
Finally got one of these. Very exciting. Let’s do this.
Ha, thanks. I’d post more often, but my posts get almost no interaction over here. 😀
Atlanta Braves managers who hit a home run in the World Series as players:
-Eddie Mathews (1957)
-Walt Weiss (1989)
End of list.
On this day 70 years ago, Doc Brown slipped and fell while hanging a clock and hit his head on the edge of the sink. When he came to, he had a revelation, a vision, a picture in his head. A picture of this. This is what makes time travel possible. The flux capacitor. #Thankful
Trey, ya savage.
The Blue Jays look like they're in total control. But it's only Game 5, and it's the Dodgers. So, it brings Rambo no pleasure to report the following ...
On this day in 1991, the Braves and Twins played Game 7 of the World Series — one of the greatest games ever. But what happened after the game, in private and outside the view of TV cameras, might’ve been the best part of the whole series. From 2021: www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/news/...
