@OleTimeHardball Jesus Christ…can’t even give Greg Maddux the 10th spot?💀

Who is the greatest defensive player of all time? 1. Brooks Robinson 2. Ozzie Smith 3. Andruw Jones 4. Willie Mays 5. Roberto Clemente 6. Carl Yastrzemski 7. Mark Belanger 8. Al Kaline 9. Johnny Bench 10. Write in a player

@jayevans813 @notgaetti His career average is 33 per season. If he plays until 40, that puts him still 100 or so behind Speaker. Tall order, but not out of the realm of possibility. I do think he’s a lock top 5 all-time.

@notgaetti I think there’s a (slim) chance he can challenge Speaker’s doubles record. Will take some incredible longevity but it’s not inconceivable

Freddie Freeman could realistically finish his career with like 3000 hits, 700 doubles, 400 homers, just inner-circle ludicrous numbers

@rwenzori_ Do we know what the wind speed is? Gotta be a breezy day to bend like that from the angle being chopped.

Engineers..

@PhysInHistory I think the best case scenario would be fully understanding our own galaxy. The universe is so vast and continually expanding we will never fully understand it.

Do you believe humanity will ever reach a point where we fully understand the universe? ✍️

@TmAlberto I have one from my grandpa during WWII. He had passed before I found it and could ask him about it.

@nut_history Watch it go over the wall.

Alright. Rickey Henderson is at third base. One out. Tie game. Bottom of the 9th. You’re the fielding team. DEEP fly ball to right field. Who do you want as your right fielder?

@JoelFeldmanPhD I remember seeing my dad’s UMSC book and his graduating class. He had x’s next to a lot of names, roughly half his class. He told me those were his brothers that never made it back.

Military Some of my best buddies never made it back. I think of them every day.

@extrememaga22 @TheProjectUnity Aliens reporting back.

@TheProjectUnity I don't think we choose. They would. I think they would choose Trump. He's clearly the world's strongest leader.

Who speaks for Earth if Aliens arrive?

@MundoGabian @UnderdogMLB White just experienced elbow soreness from your tweet.

@UnderdogMLB Thomas White time?

Robby Snelling diagnosed with left elbow UCL sprain.

@SoldiersWhisper My dad was in Vietnam with USMC HMS-16 at Marble Mountain. He has been telling me some about his time there (& during his 40 year military career) and recently told me he was involved in Lam Son 719. He told me I can ask him anything, but I know he won’t answer all my questions.

My father was a Vietnam veteran (Fred Brown) and I found this part of his old uniform buried in the attic after he passed with some old pictures from Vietnam. He was in Vietnam from 66 - 70 and assigned to the 11th armored division. Wish I could have known more about his time there before he passed but he never talked about it. He never used the VA or any benefits and I haven't ever Thank you to all you brave veterans. #TheVietnamWar #FamiliesServeToo

@ClassicGIJoe I remember playing with him outside on a HOF summer day when our street got a new layer of gravel laid. Got tar all over him.😂😂

@FTO_picks Hard to dig out of the hole when you have a pitching staff of: Ragans, Bradish, Eury, Cabrera, Pepiot heading into the season to bury you in the standings of pitching cats. At least I am killing it on offense.🤷🏻‍♂️

Fantasy baseball is a marathon, not a sprint. Stay aggressive on waivers, trust the underlying metrics, and don’t be afraid to buy low before the breakout hits. ⚾📈 #FantasyBaseball

@TalkinBaseball_ Cal taking a big dump on those who have them on their teams.

Cal Raleigh is really struggling

@CynicalPublius I don’t think my dad (38 year career, combat veteran in Vietnam) ever went to the VA. A fiend of mine that’s a Navy veteran once told me he’d rather die than go to the VA for anything.

Somehow there is an X debate going on right now about VA disability ratings. I'm hearing some idiots saying if it's not from a combat wound, you should not get a disability rating. To which I rebut with the following; 20+ years of: -12 mile ruck marches. -5k/10k/10 mile/every other distance runs. -Parachute landing falls. -Obstacle and confidence courses. -Vehicle rollovers. -Helicopter hard landings. -Heat injuries/cold injuries. -Anthrax shots, COVID shots, all other kinds of shots. -"Here, take some Motrin, you'll be fine." -Weeks/Months/Years of high stress and little sleep. -Extended periods of poor nutrition. -Weird diseases you can only get in places like Afghanistan or Korea. -Burn pits. -All other manner of training injuries. -Never telling anybody you are injured because if you do they might pull you from that leadership position you fought so hard to earn. You do all that for 20+ years, your body will be torn up, I promise. The US military is a physically demanding place, no matter what your branch of service or MOS. Training accidents happen routinely. People die in peacetime accidents, routinely. The idea that a VA disability rating should only come from something that also earns a Purple Heart is nonsense. If anything, our warriors are consistently denied VA disability ratings for what are clearly service-connected ailments.

@PatriotsGoCode @DavidCa86642462 @SoldiersWhisper My dad told me he met some South Korean commandos, as he called them during his tour in Vietnam. He said they were some bad MOFOs.

@Andrew_FBB I have four of them…

Prospects worthy of adds have been called up a ton lately: Robby Snelling Bryce Eldridge Spencer Jones Travis Bazzana Ryan Waldschmidt Logan Henderson Who are you prioritizing?

@DreadedDinosaur I found mine in parents storage shed, missing parts, no pilot. I ended up tossing it. I found my Skystriker, it was out of reach and missing parts as well.

What was your favorite toy growing up?

@catsareblessing Shit. You know what killed our 16-year old indoor/outdoor cat? The dryer.💀

@GraigKreindler I bet he had some stories that we will never know.

Here's a color study of an unknown player for Brown's Tennessee Rats in 1914. The reason for painting this player was to represent the many African American athletes whose stories have been lost to the dustbins of time.

@notgaetti Whats so bizarre about it? That’s poor situational awareness.

Get a load of this bizarre play, folks: By stepping on third to force out the runner coming from second, the 3B extinguished the force at home, meaning that the catcher would have to tag the runner, but he thought he still had a force and let him score!
