@RealMichaelKay The Intentional Balk. My son’s idea (you met him in Yorktown) 4 pitches more than a foot outside = intentional walk = balk advancing all runners, which defeats the purpose of an IBB.

@RealMichaelKay my son’s idea for intentional walks: if someone throws four balls more than a foot outside the zone, it’s a balk — all runners advance and batter gets second base. Obviously no more 4 fingers. (Yorktown Michael)

@nkolakowski I can second that emotion! My latest, The Silk Factory, has garnered not just praise (which is nice) but actual connections with people for whom it resonated. It’s been the most rewarding experience of my professional life!

I'm editing an interview with a legendary crime author and one word keeps cropping up: gratitude. Other bestselling authors have told me the same thing over the years: they're grateful for the fans. That people read their books. That they've had fulfilling careers. 🧵 1/x

@YankeeSource But Jay Buhner!

A subset of Yankees fans want to hold prospects and pass on creating a great team around Judge. While I understand the love for prospects, having a post prime Judge and Cole on the roster with zero championships to show for it is a terrible scenario. Go big now and hope the next crew of prospects have just as much potential and value. You don’t waste this window on the hope that prospects come in and make a winning impact.

We think we know our history, but we don’t really—not all of it. So said one of the people at the talk I gave in Pau last week, and it’s as true for my personal story as it is for entire peoples. You can get my book here if you haven't mybook.to/TKM2XN
