Yeah. Media jumped the gun on Brantley.
RIP to the King- Hank Aaron.
My favorite player. Ever.
The reporters called him "Hammer". The pitchers called him "Bad Henry". Everybody liked him.
No one was ever better at the game. He was the shining star at the first game I ever attended, and he never let the game down.
RIP, Mr. Aaron.

Was looking his stats once again this morning.
Unreal
The man on the right was named Ben Geraghty, one of the greatest baseball managers in US history. He's not well remembered, unless you are really a deep deep baseball guy and at least as old as I am. He was a hero of mine too, and he gets a page on Wikipedia as well. If you click and read it, an angel will get his wings. I had occasion to look at this again and thought that Ben merited mention. He'd have been famous and an MLB managing great if he hadn't died of a heart attack at the age of 50. Too many night time bus rides on bad highways... Read the whole thing.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Geraghty
"Aaron, wrote author and former minor league pitcher Pat Jordan in his 1975 memoir A False Spring, "believed that Ben Geraghty was the greatest manager who ever lived, certainly the greatest manager he ever played for ..." In addition to his on-field strategic acumen and his ability to develop playing talent, Geraghty, a white man, regularly confronted the rigid racial segregation of the times, insisting that he and his African-American players be served as equals at the finest restaurants. "Invariably, they would be refused service", Jordan wrote. "While Aaron waited nervously outside, Geraghty complained loudly to the management ... They [would go] to the next best restaurant, and the next and the next, until Geraghty finally located one that would serve [them]."

You are going to love George Springer. He's not only a wonderful player he's a genuinely great person (his work with kids who have stuttering issues is special) and a tremendous influence in the clubhouse.
Houston fans miss him.
Jays picked up Steven Matz. Hope he does well for you all- he went to my high school
Haha. So good.
Opening Day, huh
Go A’s
Go A’s
This year’s Texas Rangers are more depressing even than last year’s squad. Do I have to watch?
For 3 of the next 10 games, fine. Please do beat up on the Trolley Dodgers. The other 7 games? Nah.
That new stadium... horrors.
