Chopped it up with the homie @clintonyates


Bryce Harper says he is buying in to being more selective at the plate and bringing down his chase rate. He says he has to understand he is really good when he walks. And Bryce says he would like to walk 140 to 150 times this season. His career high is 130. “I need to make sure I walk, and it’s not just I wanna get hits all the time. I want to hit homers and doubles and all those things, but sometimes it’s better for me if I walk, and I want to do that more this year. The main thing is to make sure I stay within myself and stay in my zone. “ Really good read from @JimSalisbury215 on Bryce Harper being more disciplined this year nbcsportsphiladelphia.com/mlb/philadelph…




Richie Ashburn, an all-around talent known for his steady glove in center field, was born #OTD in 1927. The @Phillies star led the National League in on-base percentage four times and putouts nine times.



On this day in 1966, Texas Western's "Glory Road" squad upset Kentucky to win the National Championship 👏 The Miners were the first team to start an all-black starting five in a Championship Game. #MarchMadness


I love March Madness because I always learn about a new school. Never heard of Siena University in my life
