"These moments are the should of baseball: the ball perfectly hit, perfectly caught, or perfectly thrown...We can unwrap the moments later, when it's quiet, and enjoy them all over again." Alison Gordon
That’s awesome!
Happy Birthday to Dave “Boo” Ferriss, Red Sox pitching legend and Delta State coaching icon! He also pitched a shutout in his debut.
This is what I got when I asked ChatGPT for the purest baseball photo.
Happy Birthday to Harry "Suitcase" Simpson, born December 3, 1925! A versatile player in the 1950s, he earned his nickname from a comic character, not his many team changes. The player and the comic shared oversized feet.
In Dallas, the winter winds will stir,
A flurry of deals, decisions to confer.
December’s stage, where baseball schemes,
Ignites the offseason, a spark for dreams.
On Cyber Monday, even Ty Cobb would’ve slid headfirst…into online deals.
Thanks - I’ll be here all day.
On this day in 1971, at the Winter Meetings, the Dodgers and Orioles completed a blockbuster trade: Doyle Alexander and three others went to Baltimore, while Hall of Famer Frank Robinson and pitcher Pete Richert headed to Los Angeles.
Who knows, but it's gorgeous!
Even the White Sox?
Edman’s Rise
Glove and bat, a perfect blend,
Dodgers’ hero till decade’s end.
Happy birthday to Cookie Lavagetto! The man who broke up Bill Bevens' no-hitter in the '47 World Series with a legendary pinch-hit double.
The Cleveland Indians hired San Francisco photographer Pat Johnson to create the cover for their 1993 media guide. The Cleveland expat mainly used his collection to create one of the greatest collages the hobby has ever seen!
With all the Mets fans on Bluesky, I’m surprised I haven’t seen more birthday wishes for Craig Swan today!

Ya know what…I sort of feel the same way. Historically, I love the Brooklyn Dodgers…and now I live out west 🤷♂️
I'm feeling poetic this morning:
Babe crushed the ball with timeless might,
Ohtani shines as a two-way light.
Legends apart, yet both the same,
Masters forever in baseball’s name.
I'm looking forward to connecting here! I’m a lifelong baseball fan.
My favorite player growing up? Cal Ripken Jr.
Favorite team today? The Los Angeles Dodgers.
Excited to talk today's game, history, and everything in between!
Hello baseball world!
