Today is #ClementeDay. I wrote a children's book about #RobertoClemente. CALL ME ROBERTO! is not just about baseball feats or a tragic death. It's about a man whose defiance of bigotry has given me permission to be myself in a world that would rather I be someone else. And I'm so grateful.

Thrilled to officially unveil John Parra's absolutely stunning covers for ¡VIVA VALENZUELA!, our upcoming picture book biography of Mexican pitching legend Fernando Valenzuela, hitting shelves March 24, 2026 and available now for preorder wherever books are sold. (In English and Spanish!!!)

Good storyline.

Shohei or Shakespeare? Ohtani authors children's book about pup Decoy Apparently re-writing the record books was not quite enough for Shohei Ohtani. Now he's writing his own book. The three-time MVP and two-way superstar will soon be able to add published author to his ...

I can finally say I have something in common with Shohei Ohtani.

Hope you'll come say hi at the ALA annual conference this weekend! Here's how you can find me. #ALAAC25

Miss Trunchbull has endorsed Cuomo.

I switched to Capsule because of how awful the CVS pharmacy experience is. And I don't bother going in person because everything is locked up. (Though I know that's not just CVS.)

I don't generally have strong feelings about uniforms but I really like these.

Seems like a good day to remember that #PaulRevere was captured before he made it to Concord. I was an adult when I learned this, and I’ll always be bitter about it because teaching myth over fact isn’t harmless; it’s a deliberate way to keep Americans from facing the darker truths of our history.

Seventy years ago today, #RobertoClemente made his Major League debut with the Pittsburgh #Pirates and collected the first of his 3,000 hits.

On April 17, 1955, Roberto Clemente started in right field and made his Major League debut at Forbes Field, singling in his first at-bat of the game.

Mexican Baseball League's recent growth in attendance now rivals soccer clubs Mexico’s summer baseball league will open it’s 100th season aiming to keep an impressive growth in attendance that began after Mexico’s surprise run at the 2023 World Baseball Classic.

The new season of the Summer Mexican Baseball League is set to start, their attendance numbers in an upswing: 'Our growth has to do with the fact that we are not selling just baseball, but a whole experience'

A year ago, @barefootbooks.bsky.social asked me to pen new lyrics to "Take Me Out to the Ball Game." This was the first verse I wrote.

The most meaningful way to celebrate #JackieRobinsonDay, I think, is by making sure the children in our lives -- the future keepers of history -- know Jackie.

Octavio Dotel works as the answer to every grid in today's Immaculate Grid

A nice tribute by the immaculate grid staff today-

Former MLB reliever Dotel among victims in DR nightclub tragedy Former Major League reliever Octavio Dotel, former utilityman Tony Blanco and Nelsy Cruz -- sister of former big league slugger Nelson Cruz -- were killed early Tuesday morning when the roof collapsed...

Heartbreaking news out of the Dominican Republic: Former Major Leaguers Octavio Dotel and Tony Blanco are among the fatalities following a roof collapse at a famous nightclub in the capital city of Santo Domingo. Nelsy Cruz, sister of former Major Leaguer Nelson Cruz, is also among the casualties.

Given a choice, I too would opt to spend the next 14 years in Canada.

Tomorrow!

Have a slice of the white chocolate raspberry truffle for me.
