A Haunted Game

Since 1936, six players have compiled career batting averages of .325 or higher: Ted Williams .344 Tony Gwynn .338 Stan Musial .331 Wade Boggs .328 Rod Carew .328 Joe DiMaggio .325

In Ryan Howard’s 58 home run season, he hit his 20th HR on June 5th. In Aaron Judge’s 62 home run season, he hit his 20th HR on June 3rd. In Barry Bond’s 73 home run season, he his 20th HR on May 19th. Tonight, on May 15th, Kyle Schwarber hit his 20th HR of the season.

@BravesStats Hear ye! These newfangled Highlander ballists of base need to rid their flannel blouses of these sordid numerals! They appear both gibfaced and muddle-headed, they do! Any truepenny will agree that only ninnyhammers with handshakes of wilted petunias regard them admiringly!

@AHauntedGame Says the account with a profile photo of a dude in a uniform that didn't even have numbers

My hot take: players’ last names need to appear on the back of jerseys. It’s ridiculous to leave them off. It’s 2026.

Shohei Ohtani has a picture of Decoy on the tongue of his cleat 🐶

Better set… 1985 Topps or 1987 Fleer

There are currently 10 hitters with at least 2.0 fWAR this season. The Yankees have THREE of them 💪

Tony Gwynn and Ozzie Smith at the 1992 All-Star Game. Smith was playing in his 12th of 15, while Gwynn was in his 8th of 15.

Chipper Jones is the only switch hitter to hit .300 from both sides of the plate

My autographed cards 😎

@SleeperDodgers It’s better for the popularity/health/growth of the sport that he’s an elite hitter.

If you had the choice… Would you rather Shohei Ohtani be the BEST pitcher in baseball with a good bat… OR The BEST hitter in baseball who’s a good pitcher? 🤯🔥

With one quarter of the season behind us: Best record Atlanta Braves Worst record New York Mets Most HR Judge & Schwarber Highest BA B Marsh Highest OBP T Ward Highest OPS B Rice Most SB N Nuñez Lowest ERA C Schlittler Most strikeouts J Misiorowski Most saves M Miller

Lou Seal is here with his mom ❤️ 🥹

The San Diego Padres are in first place on May 11th and it’s looking like Mason Miller could be their lone All-Star representative. Crazy.

"Dad, how good was Greg Maddux?"

@Thats_BB_Suzyn Slop Ohtani

Someone said Spencer Jones looks like a white Shohei Ohtani and now I can’t unsee it

We mourn the passing of Hall of Famer Bobby Cox, the fourth-winningest manager in MLB history. Cox led the Atlanta Braves to unprecedented success, winning 14 straight division titles from 1991-2005, along with 5 NL pennants and the 1995 World Series championship. The four-time Manager of the Year won 2,401 games overall, behind only Connie Mack, Tony La Russa, and John McGraw. Of the 13 managers with at least 2,000 career wins, only one (Joe McCarthy) got there in fewer games than Cox. Cox managed the Braves for 25 seasons in all, leading them to six 100-win seasons and eight 90-win seasons. He also managed the Blue Jays for four years, including the franchise’s first winning record in 1983 and first division title in 1985. As General Manager of the Braves from 1986-90, Cox laid the foundation for the teams he would manage to success over the next two decades by trading for one future Hall of Famer in John Smoltz, drafting another in Chipper Jones, and helping develop homegrown legend Tom Glavine. Owner of a .556 winning percentage in 29 total seasons as manager, Cox was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2014. He was 84 years old.

My Captain what a great night 125 years old ❤️🙏

Ken Griffey Jr and Rickey Henderson. The two combined for 5,836 hits, 927 home runs, and 1,299 stolen bases.

Bill Madlock with his 4 Silver Bat Awards for winning the Batting Title in 1975, 1976, 1981 and 1983. One of 14 players to win 4 times.

The most cursed graphic in television sports history. Eck had no chance after NBC put this up on the screen.
