Happy birthday to the great @SlangsOnSports Because birthdays are important. And Sarah is important to all of us!

"Once they said he was a Japanese Babe Ruth, I checked out some videos, and I’m like, all right, like this is our guy." I loved this piece by Jon on Murakami Magic!

If you think @jaysonst would make a statement & not have stats, HOFers to back it up, you’ve never visited Starkville. Great read! apple.news/AsJmBcfoqTp6-P…

New column from me: Is Mason Miller the most unhittable pitcher who ever lived? "I'd be hard-pressed to see someone do that with a Wiffle Ball.” nytimes.com/athletic/72447… via @NYTimes

Kyle Schwarber of the @Phillies is the first MLB player to have a day with: 5+ hits 3+ walks 2+ doubles 2+ homers 0 strikeouts ...since Lou Gehrig on August 26, 1935 (also in a doubleheader).

The Crawfords are the second father-son set to each have a walk-off RBI for the same manager (RBI official since 1920) Carl & Justin Crawford for Don Mattingly Gary & Daryle Ward for Lou Piniella h/t @EliasSports

That's the first time since 1956 that the Giants got walked off in both ends of a doubleheader. A brutal day, with a lot of mistakes.

If you’re wondering… 7/24/98 was last time Phillies won both games of a doubleheader via walk-off Last MLB team: 5/28/04 Pirates

This is the 1st time in recorded history (since at least 1910, per @baseball_ref) that the Phillies have had multiple game-tying hits in the 9th inning on the same day.

Everyone's getting save now. A new record in different players getting saves.

The Phillies are the 1st team to win Game 1 of a doubleheader on a walk-off, then hit a leadoff HR in Game 2 since Cleveland did it on Aug. 26, 1985. Elsewhere in MLB that day, now-Phillies manager Don Mattingly had a 4-hit day for the Yankees.

April 8, 2014 - Carl Crawford gets walkoff hit for the Dodgers. His manager: Don Mattingly April 30, 2026 - Justin Crawford gets walkoff hit for the Phillies. His manager: Don Mattingly Baseball!
