@HawkEmDownChris Bob Gibson and then Nolan Ryan.

Who’s your favorite MLB pitcher of all time? A) Pedro Martinez B) Randy Johnson C) Clayton Kershaw D) Nolan Ryan E) Sandy Koufax F) Greg Maddux G) Roger Clemens H) Justin Verlander I) Mariano Rivera J) Shohei Ohtani K) Comment another pitcher ✍️

@Thekstatefan I remember Clarence Scott and he deserves mention, but I agree on Newman.

The 8th least debatable K-State GOAT by position Cornerback - Terence Newman Others Considered - Chris Canty Clarence Scott

@AugieNash Gibson had great control. He liked to own the inside part of the plate and would brush hitters back that got too close. Most hitters that he hit, he meant to hit.

Bob Gibson is always thought of, as a guy who hit a lot of hitters. But that's not quite true. Over his career he hit 102 batters, tied for 89th on the all-time list. Some notable pitchers from the modern era with more hit batsmen: 190 - Randy Johnson 158 - Nolan Ryan 154 - Don Drysdale 141 - Pedro Martinez 117 - Orel Hershiser 117 - Darryl Kile 115 - Justin Verlander 112 - Max Scherzer #STLCards

@ScoTTU07 @Stanimal032 I went to K-State and master's at Tech before either of you were born. I think I will just start telling them we got electricity before I graduated.

@Stanimal032 Dude! Similar thing happened to me yesterday. Met a new coworker. Him: I graduated from Texas Tech in 2019 Me: I went to Tech Him: Really, When did graduate? Me: 2007 Him: I was 10 in 2007

Girl working as a cashier: You went to K-State?! I go in the fall! I’m so excited. When did you graduate? Me: A long time ago. Girl: What year? Me: 2007. Girl: That was before I was even born!

@CoachJesseOwen This is overreach and will cause more harm than good. Many school districts severely limit Wednesday and Sunday activities/practices but most make exceptions for weather or Monday games for instance.

Placing restrictions on motivated kids and families is not the answer. Family rest, faith time, and personal schedules should be decided by families, not legislated by the state.

@CoachKhalilS I was afraid they couldn't keep her. If not staying, I would love to see her at K-State.

Fort Hays State (DII) junior 6'0 guard Talexa Weeter has entered the transfer portal. She averaged 27.5 PPG and 8.9 RPG per game last year & was named the MIAA Player of the Year.

@terrykack23 @SamfordScoop @11point7 That might even be too far outside at that age group. That's not just on the line of the other batter's box, it is well past it.

@SamfordScoop @11point7 That’s an 8U strike right there 😬

Samford loses the series finale to Western Carolina 10-9 after this horrifyingly bad strike three call to Jeffrey Ince. I mean this is ridiculous. Even the WCU pitcher and catcher are stunned.

@DScottFritchen I didn't think it was a great crowd until I saw the attendance at the other sites. We were double the next highest, North Dakota State. Most were under 1000 and some like Mizzou were under 500.

People sometimes like to see fan photos. Here’s one side of Bramlage Coliseum at the K-State women’s basketball WBIT Tournament game tonight.

@BaseballCentraI Both teams with the initials UT and wearing orange act the same.

This is just lame

@AugieNash We appreciate you, too Augie!

Just a quick note to all my great followers... I appreciate you! That's it.

@AugieNash I was fortunate to be there with my parents and brother. The first 5 batters for the NL were Mays, Clemente, Aaron, McCovey and Santo and all played the entire game as did Frank and Brooks Robinson for the AL.

Did you know? The 1966 All-Star game hosted by the Cardinals at Busch Stadium featured 24 future members of the Hall of Fame? The National League team had 15 of the players who eventually would be honored in Cooperstown: Henry Aaron Joe Torre Dick Allen Ron Santo Joe Morgan Sandy Koufax Jim Bunning Roberto Clemente Willie Stargell Juan Marichal Willie Mays Willie McCovey Tim McCarver Gaylord Perry Bob Gibson (Phil Regan of the Dodgers replaced Gibson on the roster.) The American League roster had eight future members of the Hall of Fame: Brooks Robinson Frank Robinson Carl Yastrzemski Al Kaline Jim “Catfish” Hunter Jim Kaat Harmon Killebrew Tony Oliva Plus - Walter Alston/manager

@HawkEmDownChris Yogi Berra.

Age yourself by naming an MLB catcher you grew up watching. I’ll start: Yadier Molina.

@Stanimal032 I have been a big Brody fan as long as you have been posting here, I think. Don't feel bad about needing some help. There are certainly very few families who wouldn't need help in a situation like this. Glad I could help a little.

I’m going to share this once. Some friends offered to do this for us. No one is under any obligation. This time my family in going through something we’ve never been through. We’ve never had Brody need four surgeries in three months. We’ve never spent over two months away from home like we have to this year. We’ve never had to max out my wife’s PTO for Brody’s medical needs by July. We’ve never needed me to be out of my practice for 6 weeks to help care for my son because he is now a big boy that need two people to lift him in/out of his wheelchair, etc. We’ve never been in this position. My ego pushed back against this for a long time. I don’t like asking for help. I don’t like feeling like we aren’t able to handle it. I hate all of it. But we had a lot of people ask how they could help us through this time and this is what our friends came up with. No obligation. No expectation. Appreciation for any little bit. Love you all for all you’ve ALREADY done to lift us up during this time. gofundme.com/f/support-brod…

@AugieNash My 4 favorite Cardinals pitchers--Bob Gibson, Bob Forsch, Adam Wainwright, John Tudor. I wasn't alive to see Dizzy but he would definitely be my favorite character followed by the Mad Hungarian.

Bob Forsch is one of the most underrated pitchers to ever walk that turf. or wear that slugger bird jacket. #STLCards

@Stanimal032 I love to see that smile!

Being stuck in Florida isn’t too bad. Up and out of the house and seafood by the river.

@DScottFritchen That's bigtime Family!

K-State has 16 athletes competing at the NCAA Indoor Championship on Friday and Saturday at the Randal Tyson Track Center in Fayetteville, Arkansas. They won’t be alone. “Our whole team is going down. We're going to have 80 kids supporting them down there.” That’s love.

@AugieNash Those were the days. Sadly, I rarely see that anymore.

- These kids were you, these kids were me. - All we needed was a backyard, a vacant lot or even the street. - It didn't matter your age, if you showed up - you played. - It didn't matter if you were a boy or a girl, if you showed up - you played. - We umpired ourselves and argued for our side until we were red in the face. - We used nails and screws to fix our broken bats. - The balls could be waterlogged, lopsided or have the cover falling off, it didn't matter. - We would slide not because we needed to, but because dirt and grass stains were cool. - Mom would yell at us for the dirty clothes, Dad secretly loved it. - We shared bats and gloves. - Our bases were bare spots, gunny sacks or pieces of cardboard. - The kid who always thought he was the best player - wasn't. - The kid who wasn't very good played right field, but he was happy to be there. - The kid less scared of the ball was the catcher or first baseman. - The kid who could hit the best was usually the best pitcher too. - We'd break a window and run like hell to a safe haven. Then tattle on the kid who broke it. - We'd cool off by drinking hot water from a garden hose. - We played until supper time, then reconvene to finish the game. - We played until the street lights came on. - If we were on a Little League team, nothing sucked more than losing, not because we lost, but because that meant no Dairy Queen stop. - We did this ALL summer long, several times a day if we could muster up enough players. We were just kids, and life was simple and uncomplicated. We had no idea how complicated our lives would become. So the next time you are out and see some kids playing baseball, just remember, they are creating those same memories that filled your life with joy.

@zfleen12 I agree, give him a chance. There are plenty of examples of successful power conference coaches whose first head coaching job was at a lower level. I know it is football, but look at Urban Meyer and Nick Saban-Bowling Green and Toledo.

I am all in on Casey Alexander! Why? Because if it becomes official and he is the head coach of my alma mater… I care deeply about the success of K-State basketball. Let’s get behind him, his future staff, and players!

@Stanimal032 Hang in there Brody! You are the toughest boy around.

Keep B in your prayers, please. He’s been dealing with some pretty gnarly nerve pain in his leg now that all of the anesthesia is out of his system.
