Great reporting. How many kids (me included in the ’80s) fell in love with ballparks because of the food? If my dad took me and my three brothers to a game today, he’d probably pack bologna sandwiches on white bread with butter just to survive the prices. And honestly… there’s no way I’d be a baseball fan without the food.

For the second year in a row, I walked the concourses of both Chicago ballparks to log the costs of food and drink. Here’s my story, free to read, just in time for Cubs-White Sox: nytimes.com/athletic/72758…

@LastComiskey Good throw and a CF’er not picking his ass and he’s out by 10 ft. Not advisable a 2nd time

I'm a Slap Shot fan but I think Major League holds up a lot better. To me Major League is the perfect baseball movie, minus the Jake Taylor romance, which is a bit of a drag but does create some classic moments (i.e. "want me to drag him out of here, kick the shit out of him?" and "We have uniforms and everything.")

@LastComiskey For just baseball movies, "Bull Durham" gets my vote. Entertaining story, great cast chemistry. The comedy bits in "Major League" were predictable, especially for any baseball fan in that era. I'd argue they even stole from "Slap Shot," which is a superior sports film.

Derek Hill told me he journals after every at-bat. Tracking what opposing pitchers throw, how the pitches look, and the result. Before facing Matt Strahm tonight, he went back to notes from when he faced him earlier this season in KC. His note? “Slider or something down. Look in. Make a pull early and get it out front.” Tonight’s homer came on a slider down and in. Preparation paying off. 🫡 #whitesox

And today, thanks to @GovRonDeSantis signature, our epilepsy bill became law. An idea that came from a high school student, championed by @IleanaGarciaUSA & @JimMooney120, will improve the educational lives of many kids living with seizures. ❤️
Steve Schale@steveschale

The Epilepsy in Schools Act is headed to the Governor with a 37-0 vote in @FLSenate! Thank you @IleanaGarciaUSA for amazing work getting it out of the Senate, and @JimMooney120 for championing it in the House. This bill will appreciably improve the lives of kids with seizures!

@redblue325 The Chelios comparison was more in terms of how he was a leader, played all out, hustled always, ran into walls, anything to win. Granted they are not comparable in terms of all-time greatness.

@LastComiskey Rowand had one good season after he was traded. He wasn't even close to being a Chelios-like figure. 🤣 Meanwhile, Thome had a .933 OPS and 134 HRs for the Sox--numbers that would've been even better had Ozzie not eventually insisted on Kotsay over him.

@LastComiskey I can agree with that. He was also a shitty baserunner.

@tdsox17 I think there are intangibles that they lost with having him gone. ‘06 team got lazy. But yeah your numbers don’t lie.

@LastComiskey One (really) good season after they traded him. Then…not much. I think the Giants actually ate money at the end.

I remember watching that and thinking it was the kind of frustrated thing a lot of players do and they are usually fine. Do I remember that right? So in that regard I remember thinking it was a fluke. I can't find the video online (didn't search much) but it would be interesting to see that again.

I respect the Carlos Quentin/Miguel Vargas comps but there will never be a 2008 Carlos Quentin ever again.
