"They escaped, and now I live in a place where escape is a way of life. It’s slow and it’s fast paced all at once and it often feels that even with all the movement, nobody’s really going anywhere. Where is there to go, anyway? You’re in Miami now." Hell of a piece from Alex.

I wrote about the other Miami.

"You’re looking at maybe five years of minor league ball, and then you could be tendered, non-tendered, they can re-sign you for a year. You might be making anywhere from 10 to 50 grand in the minors." Andrew McCutchen wrote about this 10 years ago theplayerstribune.com/articles/left-…

“Okay, I could get a free college education and be on ESPN, or I could spend five years eating cereal for dinner and trying to hit a 90-mile-per-hour fastball in Altoona.” People talk about the big, guaranteed money in baseball, and I certainly feel blessed that I am where I am.

"I had the good fortune to be drafted by the Pirates in the first round, but I spent four years in the glamorous towns of Williamsport, Hickory, Altoona and Indianapolis. A lot of talented kids look at that lifestyle and compare it to the bright lights of Florida State or OSU" 1/

The percentage of Black players in the MLB hasn’t been so low since shortly after integration. Can reviving a controversial Negro Leagues team challenge what the game of baseball—and a baseball player—can look like? @josh_levin reports: theatlantic.com/magazine/2026/…

Taught my daughter how to score the last few years, and last winter she got her own scorebook (Madison, WI-based Numbers Game makes a great one). We scored a Mariners game Opening Weekend this year, made sure to check in at the Niehaus statue after the final out. Special moment.

MLB is having a moment for the exact same reason that baseball scorebook makers are seeing sales double. In our hyper-connected digital age, people are yearning for a bit of the phone-free, slowed down past. An afternoon at the park offers exactly that sportico.com/leagues/baseba…

@AdamMilstein hits the nail on the head: "yet our communal response remains reactive. We issue statements, call for justice, track incidents, correct misinformation, and plead for empathy. These efforts matter, but they are insufficient and yield diminishing results."

1. recognize a problem - leadership and vision 2. propose a solution - act on that vision 3. fail - watch said solution die in committee 4. suffer the consequences - bad problems get worse Rep. Leavitt is a real leader with moral courage. Time for her colleagues to match it.

As a group on Seattle's UW campus spewed rhetoric and engaged in a plan to " take over the quad", I can't help but be reminded of a bill I offered this past session in Hb2589 to honor speech while allowing institutions to exercise their rights of keeping folks safe in alignment with post secondary institutions across the country. #waleg
