⚾️ Immaculate Grid 116 9/9: Rarity: 152 IMMACULATE! 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 Finally completed one after coming close so many times.
Very surprised and disappointed to see @KevinKileyCA show up on the list of Republicans that sided with Adam Schiff. Just shows that he really is a RINO like all of the rest of them. Good luck keeping your seat now.

Vin Scully lived just long enough to see Gil Hodges finally get inducted into the @baseballhall bringing the Boys of Summer back together again.
Congrats to Rio Hondo Prep seniors Madison Metz, Grace Pollack and Tatiana Foor for being named to the San Gabriel Valley Senior Softball All Star Team. Game will be played on May 23rd at Citrus College. @RHPKares @RHPsports
So when are the @Dodgers going to announce that they are retiring Gil Hodges number 14? Make it happen. No one is wearing it currently.
Rio Hondo Prep after its big 49-0 win over Pasadena Poly. Jonathan Guerrero 10 carries, 136 yards and 2TDs. Gio Ortega 5 carries, 95 yds and 3 TDs..one a kickoff return. Kares now 1-0. @SGVNSports @James_Escarcega
A great start for the Rio Hondo Prep Kares this season. 49-0 against Pasadena Poly.

@notgaetti Along a tangentially related line: A NEPTA Manny Mota would be interesting as a history lesson: baseball when "professional pinch hitter" was a thing.
This is insanity. One of the options is literally "you don't have to remove anyone, they can all stay" and yet most of You People would intentionally chose to remove Harold Baines from the HOF if you could? Just let the man be! He didn't put himself in, let him enjoy the honor.
POLL (4hr) You have an opportunity to remove 1 player from the Hall of Fame. Who gets the hook?
Unfair oversight and it’s not remotely close. When I saw Baines’s plaque hanging in the HOF, my first thought was “that’s so cool, I remember watching him play.” I never saw one plaque in that hallowed place that instantly put “This Man Doesn’t Belong Here” foremost in my mind.
Which irritates you more: when a deserving player is left out of the Hall of Fame, or when an undeserving player is elected?
@RoseBowlGuy @ChickenMan3010 @RedSox @baseballhall Absolutely not, Randy. I did not know this company was using this image illegally. I reached out to Daniel via DM to offer him $26, the fee I was charged, to try and make my faux pas right. He kindly refused. But, no, I do not support this practice of any type.
@KasperStats Not one?! Damn. Thats says more about you than it does the sport you “cover.”
This Man is MLB's active leader in: • Hits • Doubles • Runs scored • Runs batted in He is a career .301/.389/.514 hitter and will reach 500 doubles in this, his age-34 season. He's finished top-9 in MVP voting each of the last 6 years. Start. Carving. His. Plaque.
The DH is cool and all, but not *this* cool
Here's a sequence you won't see anymore...
Great game by @RioHondoPrep. Joshua had a no hitter after 5 innings…this was definitely his best game!
Baseball: @RHPsports 12, Bosco Tech 1 in a nonleague game. Joshua Taflinger went 6IP, 1R, 2H, BB, 7K. @RHPKares @mrixta @daveguerrero25 @ChargeToKeep 210prepsports.com/2024/03/23/jos…
Incidentally, quick anecdotal anthropological baseball lexicon equipment nomenclature thing: I grew up learning that, in the field, • catchers wear mitts • first basemen wear mitts • everyone else wears gloves Anyone else subscribe to this?
Under the current rules, the ball that was fielded cleanly by Cronenworth but penetrated the webbing of his mitt goes as an E-3 because fielders are responsible for maintaining their equipment. A good reminder to break in that new glove (or get yours restrung) before opening day.
@RoseBowlGuy Exactly. Seven independent countries have hosted regular season games. Given its unique status though, I went ahead and included Puerto Rico’s flag but did not include the commonwealth in the total country count.
@RoseBowlGuy Yep he was solid for about a decade
Happy Birthday Harold! (And leave that man alone!) More RBI than Mickey Mantle, Eddie Mathews, and Mike Piazza More total bases than Frank Thomas, Mike Schmidt, and Roberto Clemente More hits than Lou Gehrig, Ken Griffey Jr, and Chipper Jones Higher OPS+ than Andre Dawson,…
Listen, this is the truth. Consider Steve Garvey: he wanted to be great, to be perceived as great, to be celebrated. He got 200 hits and 100 RBI a year because those were marks of greatness. WAR didn’t exist; had Garvey known walks were so great, he would have walked a lot more!
Who is to say they wouldn’t have played differently had the knowledge we have now been available? In fact, I’m sure they would have. Interpreting past play styles through a modern lens of expectation, and then being critical of them? Complete nonsense.
Bob Gibson Randy Johnson Don Drysdale Nolan Ryan
Who is on your Mount Rushmore of intimidating pitchers?
@notgaetti Best CF I ever saw. Saved so many run over his career. Here are 3 of them. Couldn’t hit a curve ball, but crushed fast balls. ATL nightlife took years off his career. 🙁 If Ozzie Smith is HOF on defense, I think the same can be said for Andruw.
@nut_history The GOAT lineup! Ross Porter, Vin Scully, Jerry Doggett.
Could “Blazing Saddles” be made today? Not a chance. Which is why everyone should rent it and watch it… and understand each actor played their part WILLINGLY.
Mel Brooks’ “BLAZING SADDLES” was released 50 years ago today.
