@BaseballBros And now you see why baseball coaches spend sooooo much time measuring the 60 yard dash - Sarcasm

This is the greatest athletic performance by a pitcher I’ve ever seen!

@CoachMalphurs Amity sent this to me the other day…. Every function needs a snacklebox !!

86/ With that, I think we've come to the end of this storm. It's after 4AM here and I have an article to write tomorrow! If you see any errors or something big I missed, please let me know. Thanks in advance! I leave you w/ the immortal words of Michael Scott 'Hammer Out!🔨👊

11/ Sounds good, right? But there's a catch... This change is FANTASTIC for the uber-wealthy. For the 'merely' affluent taxpayer though? Not so much😕 Specifically, whereas Biden's proposed top rate didn't kick in until AGI exceeded $1 million, the bill would "re-align"...

@mares62J All is well Hope the same for you and your family Trask will be a solid QB for the Bucs but I think Fields will do good things for Bears

@mares62J Love it cray cray as ever

How many fans attend travel ball tournaments? Very few. My point? 95% of people at the park are parents and/or coaches. Charging parents a gate fee, parking fee, etc is ridiculous. They've already paid the travel org to play and the travel org paid YOU.

@DennisWyrick Take the good w/ the bad...size/skill is huge diff at that age & distance. Its helpful to intro the game to kids but flashbacks of coaches fake bunting so runners can steal 2nd & 3rd & dropped 3rd on developing C-2 & P-1 is a problem. Drop 3rd shd be 🚫 at all levels

DAD QUESTION: my 8yo plays in our local league here in AZ with MLB rules, it is not travel baseball. Leading off, steal on first move, Pick offs, dropped 3rd strike. Only difference is distance to mound and between bases. Is this common for 8-9u local leagues? #MLB #Youthsports

@CoachMalphurs And the first pitch strike he threw from the top of the mound.

Vann’s always been there to help. Pressure washing, working concessions, golf tournaments, organizing heavy equipment for field projects... It’s never been about his kid’s playing time. It’s ALWAYS about making the program better for ALL the kids playing at GHS. Thank you Vann!

Retweet if Baseball has impacted your life in a positive way ⚾️🙌 I wouldn't be where I am today w/ out the opportunities, & life-lessons this great gave me.

@mares62J Thank you, I appreciate you saying that. Ha, The first time he picked up a bat, he went on the left side

@mares62J All good John. Thank you Hope all is well for you and your family too

@clongbaseball We could host you at Gainesville High School baseball field.

My dad was an amazing man - honest, loyal, faithful and humble. Thank you God for the gift of my parents, who now are reunited in heaven. I told my dad last night, “if I had to do it all over again, I would choose you to be my dad.” He smiled and squeezed my hand.

I cannot recall the last sports story I read that touched me more than this one did. wbur.org/onlyagame/2018…
