Based solely on physical appearance, who is the least likely superstar in pro sports history?

@SlangsOnSports @jerryblevins And it comes on the 8th anniversary of his first MLB start, which I was fortunate enough to witness.

That is Juan Soto’s 100th career SB in his 1,131st career game
That’s by far the fewest games to reach 100+ SB, 200+ HR & 900+ walks
Previous fewest: 1,257 by Mickey Mantle

@proctorsdesign Do it. When I wrote for the Beacon I scored amazing media passes to MLB spring training games.

@monicawarren16 Did he sing Dixieland Delight and inform the yokels that it’s a song about Tennessee?

So, finally, some thoughts on @PostSports:
I, like so many of my colleagues, was laid off today as part of the Post’s implosion of its Sports department. I ache for my colleagues, so many of whom are friends and so many of whom I’ve worked so closely with over 22+ years here.

@dougherty_jesse @DPOGCrown But instead of that we’re going to watch Oregon boat race JMU by 30 points. Because every conference gets a trophy or something.

Imagine seeing that video of James Madison celebrating and thinking: We need to fix this system so Notre Dame is never this upset again.
