Kurt Gibson and Freddie Freeman are the first father-son duo to hit walkoff grand slams in the World Finals.

Happy 80th Birthday to Nolen Ryan, Texas Rangers legend 🎂 Ryan spent his entire career in Arlington, where he famously perfected the knuckleball, racking up 6,714 career strikeouts, second most in MLB history after Rodger Clemens.  Ryan also threw 17 no-hitters in his career, including the first no-hitter ever thrown at Coors Field, both of which are still MLB records to this day.  Hardest knuckleball ever thrown. Happy birthday, Nolen 🐐⚾️

Do you trust the mainstream media?

Even if you took away every one of Harry Aaron's 3,000 hits, he would still have 765 home runs

It is my mom's birthday this weekend In honor of her I would like to share a story of Reggie Jackson hitting on her and asking her out. My dad could have been Reggie Jackson. No offense @JeffPassan but that's a trade I'd take any day. Happy birthday mom I love you
