The Pachyderm In The Parlor

Carl Yastrzemski (Yaz) was my absolute favorite player growing up. As a kid, I idolized the guy. The Hall of Famer who spent his entire 23-year career with the Boston Red Sox, won the Triple Crown and MVP in that legendary 1967 "Impossible Dream" season, racked up 3,000+ hits, and patrolled left field at Fenway like no one else. But what I really loved me was his batting stance. That high-held bat, cocked back and ready, the intense focus, he looked like he was about to unleash on every pitch. I'd grab my bat in the backyard, plant my feet just like him, tuck my chin into my shoulder, and try to mimic every detail. I spent hours stepping into that stance, wiggling the bat high, waiting for the imaginary fastball. Felt like I was channeling the legend himself. Yaz wasn't just a player; he was the reason I fell in love with baseball. Still gives me chills thinking about it. Who's your childhood baseball hero?

Balance is key. Balance good.

@EricLDaugh Eric, I'm pretty sure all the democrats said that when they didn't stand at the SOTU.

🚨 JUST IN: Sen. Rick Scott is dropping straight TRUTH NUKES "I've got a bill they block every time: No Budget, No Pay. You don't fund the government, you should NOT get a paycheck in the Senate." "EVERY Democrat opposes it!" Imagine that. "They have known criminals in their jails that m*rder and r*pe people, and won't turn them over to ICE. It's like, they HATE AMERICANS." "One senator said his primary job is not Americans, it's people here illegally!" "Call your senator. Say THIS IS DISGUSTING, and you shouldn't get paid."

@LeadingReport I'm sure that will get people to use them more.

🚨#BREAKING: President Donald Trump is considering calling in the National Guard to manage airport security amid partial DHS shutdown

@EricLDaugh No brainer. Let's get it done.

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump is now actively considering deployment of the US NATIONAL GUARD to airports nationwide, ON TOP of ICE This would be massive and Americans would LOVE it 🇺🇸 "Blame the Democrats for the Airport’s mess. They want our Country to do badly. They want our Country to fail. They broke the already signed Bill because they want to take care of Criminals who enter our Country illegally, rather than American citizens. Thank you to our great ICE Patriots for helping. It makes a big difference. I may call up the National Guard for more help. President DJT."

@TheCyberHouse I couldn't agree more. Well said Ed.

Unpopular opinion incoming.... I have made a ton of friends on this app that I have actually interacted with and have enjoyed so many of you. From the USA, Canada and Mexico. But also from France, Australia, Germany and many, many other places from around the world. Let us not be hasty in our actions to make any abrupt changes that effect the very people that are also helping us. If there are bad actors out their let's find a way to stop them without lumping everyone into this together. We can't let the bad ones ruin it for everyone, it just isn't right. -Sent from North Georgia, USA 🇺🇸
