gofund.me/ce3e376b1 If you can help… Please do. I cannot imagine a world without little league. It was my salvation as a child…. Where I took my first steps in my path towards New York and Tokyo.⚾️❤️👍

@jjburkeesq Hey buddy🤗

@53_hillman God Bless you both, my friend!!

@ToddVanBeveren I’m the one wearing sunglasses 😎

@53_hillman One of my favorite Mets pitchers!! Good to see you doing well!!

@ThomasLSeagull Of course. I’ve been trying to set up a fall league in Tucson for Japanese, Taiwanese and South Korean players for a few years now. Tough to get them to commit.

@53_hillman Thank you for sharing. That fits with everything I've learned about him. I’d love to ask you a few questions sometime about your experience in Japan if you’d ever be open to it.

Draft controversy. Suspension. Injury. Reinvention. An MLB debut at 39. Few careers in Japanese baseball were stranger or more thoughtful than Masumi Kuwata’s. thomasloveseagull.substack.com/p/japans-favor…

@GaijinBaseball @ThatSportsGamer Bobby never “clashed with management”…. Hiroka was trying to take credit for Bobby’s successful managerial style. I can speak volumes to the 1995 Season and the winning culture Bobby provided

@ThatSportsGamer I think so, if it was that'd be on April 30th, 1995 against the Lions @53_hillman might be able to shed more light on that, because he started that game

Those are fighting words in Chiba. He helped turn a Marines team that had 1 winning season in the past 20 years into the 8th greatest NPB offensive unit of all-time (now 10th).

@yakyucosmo 非常に見栄えの良い投球フォームですね。彼は腰をしっかりと閉じ、前膝の上に重心を乗せ、すべての勢いをホームプレートに向けています。頑張ってください、若者よ…そして覚えておいてください…成功は準備と自信の副産物です。⚾️👍

First look at Chunichi Dragons 1st round pick Masaki Nakanishi in action

@baseball_BBM 背の高い選手も何人かいますよ😏⚾️

なんとなくですが、活躍するショートは顔がカッコいい気がします。

@yakyucosmo Good Luck⚾️👍

Cooper Hummel introduces himself to BayStars nation

@baseball_BBM @nishiaaa0322 初芝選手は、私が一緒にプレーした中で最高の三塁手でした。1995-96年のロッテチームの中で、彼ほど一生懸命練習する選手はいませんでした。彼はいつも素敵な笑顔で、心から野球を愛していました。彼をチームメイトと呼べたことをとても誇りに思います。彼はロッテ史上最高の選手の一人です！⚾️👍

本当はきょう夜から秘密基地に行きたかったのですが、大雪らしく来週に。本日は月刊プロ野球ヒーロー大図鑑次号の年代記（2005～07）作業します。もう20年前後前なのに、年のせいか、つい最近な気がする時期です。05年真っ先に思い浮かぶのは…初芝さんです。

@metsnark @BBGreatMoments I’ve always understood that you CANNOT throw to an unoccupied base. Period !!

@BBGreatMoments Absolutely. A throw to an u occupied base is a balk.

What would you be thinking in this moment? 🤔

@53_hillman "Seeing Eric work so hard motivated me to push myself even harder."

You will never complain about your life again after seeing this…

NIU head coach Thomas Hammock gave his thoughts on the transfer portal.

Nick Saban explains why you're not entitled to anything in life. "You get up every day, you're entitled to: Nothing." "Nothing is acceptable, but your best." You get what you earn in life. That's it. No one owes you success, opportunity or playing time. Those are things you earn. Show up, do the work, and earn it every day - not because you're told to, but because that's the standard you hold yourself to. Your thoughts drive what you want - your actions drive what you get. The gap between the two? That's where most people fail. (🎥CTSN)

@GaijinBaseball 100% spot on Correct !! NPB is incredibly talented, world class players, no egos and focused on a true TEAM concept.

It's why NPB needs to a do a better job of marketing their product outside of Japan. If people actually watched the league they'd see it for the major-professional league it is.

@GaijinBaseball 頑張ってください、一生懸命努力して、人生最高の経験を楽しんでください。日本は最高の国であり、野球界で最高のファンがいる国です⚾️🇯🇵

The Yomiuri Giants have signed Bobby Dalbec Dalbec (30) has struggled in MLB since his excellent debut stint in 2020. He had a 127 wRC+ in AAA across 3 organizations last year.

Discipline is what you do when motivation disappears. High standards don’t need applause. And the work doesn’t care how you feel. Show up anyway. Stop with the excuses. BUILD YOUR FLOOR, SO YOU CAN CHASE YOUR CEILING 📈🙌
