Jeter and A-Rod were taking grounders and suddenly broke off to rush over to Giantsβ dugout to meet Willie Mays. βHello, Mr. Mays,β A-Rod said. Maysβ first words: "Man, you guys are tall."

What triggered the emergency warning at Scottsdale Stadium in the first inning? Someone was smoking in a restroom, and it set off the alarm. True story.
22.02.2026 21:16 β π 43 π 12 π¬ 3 π 3One of your most unusual triple plays. First three Cubs reached in T1, all retired on one play in which all four Giants infielders played role. Score it 4-3-6-5 w/whole lot of bad decisions by Cubs baserunners. MVP of play: Rafi Devers, who was cutting 3B but alertly threw to 2B.

Posey on the big swing he took hiring Tony Vitello straight out of college:
βTonyβs been great about it, too. Itβs, like, we donβt know. We still donβt know, right? ... But Iβm confident just in the person and the way he goes about his work and how he reads people, commands the room, can motivate.β
Giants player rep Logan Webb said there will be a meeting of player reps soon after union chief Tony Clark stepped down. βI found out when you found out. I donβt think anybody really knew about this.I haven't even had time to process it.β
