My friend was riding @SFBART, spotted a rider reading my book and was kind enough to snap a photo for me. Still blows my mind that I wrote a #TrueCrime book. I work in baseball. I had no clue what I was doing, but figured it out. Don't let your current job define who you are.

During one of the worst losing streaks of my career, our team president walked into my office. Keli McGregor. One of the best men I've ever known. He could have come to vent. To question my decisions. To ask hard questions. Instead, he said: "Cut to the chase, Clint. What's next?" I looked him in the eye and gave him two words: "Shower well." The Colorado Rockies were struggling badly that year. Pregame preparation was solid. Scout meetings, early work, attention to detail. All of it was there. But at game time, the tires were flat. I told Keli: the game did everything it could to us today. We just couldn't meet its demands. Now it was time to reset. "Shower well" means exactly this: • Watch the frustration circle down the drain • Shampoo, rinse, repeat and get the grime of today completely off your mind • Walk out clean, go home, and actually rest Leave it at the ballpark. The game is over. There's nothing left to solve tonight. Keli nodded. Asked if he could share it with the whole organization. I said sure. And then it hit me. This isn't just for baseball. Bad day at the office. Grumpy boss. Missed deadline. Traffic on the way home. You can carry all of that through your front door. Or you can shower well. I've never seen a single problem get better because someone dragged it home with them. The reset is a discipline. Same as preparation. Same as showing up. Either we win. Or we learn. The only real loss? When you don't take a single thing out of a hard day. So tonight, whatever kind of day it was, shower well. Tomorrow is a new at-bat. What does your reset look like? I'd love to hear it.

@ABQTopes Whoever the model is, glad I'm not on the mound pitching to him. Looks like the dude can rake.

There are always things for writers that don't make the final cut so I'll send a couple on Harlan if interested. Here's one:

Team USA getting loose before taking on the Rockies here at SRF. @jackcorrigan2 and @Josh_Suchon will have all the action for you at 1pm mountain on @KOAColorado. 🫡

Harry's style was so different in his 30s. We listened to him call the 1957 All-Star Game, learn the #Cardinals fired him on the air (the air check is crazy), early TV games with the #WhiteSox and of course "The Sandberg Game."

Holy Cow! It's Harry Caray's birthday! On the latest "Crafting the Call," @jgoldstrass and I examine how Harry evolved from a traditional PxP announcer in the 1950s with #Cardinals to a beloved character with the #Cubs often spoofed on SNL. youtube.com/watch?v=k67j4I…

A family of bears halted skiers in their tracks on Wednesday as they scampered across a ski slope at Northstar California Resort. Barclay Weyhrauch captured the moment, saying, “We thought they were humans at first. Then we thought they were big dogs, then everyone realized they were bears and everyone started yelling ‘stop!’” abc7news.com/18607811/

Here's a small sampling of some of the work by Albuquerque students recently.

Extremely proud of this ongoing initiative the Isotopes do. The artwork and essays we've received over the years are inspiring. Please help us spread the word. All students K-12 in New Mexico are eligible. I hope we giveaway so many free tickets the ballpark is sold out.

Attention all aspiring baseball broadcasters: Join Jesse Goldberg-Strassler, Shawn Murnin, Emma Tiedemann, Nicholas Badders and me next Tuesday from 1-2 p.m. for a networking forum to help you break into the industry. Email me to RSVP!

I've enjoyed a front row seat for the ABS Challenge system at Triple-A since 2022. Here's my perspective on what I've witnessed, how my opinion of umpires changed, what to expect with the system in the majors, and predictions for this year. joshuasuchon.substack.com/p/what-to-expe…
