I thought a "walk-off corn shot" was an XXX term.
Now that's funny.

Iowa, the tall corn state
I visited with my only remaining uncle today.  He talked about he and his (late) wife riding their Honda Gold Wings through Iowa and the corn being right up to the edge of the interstate and way over their heads.

Diamondbacks rookie throws a no no in his first mlb start.   Been a long time since that's happened.   I think some dude did it in 50s.

Took the kids to our first MLB game since August of 2019. It was nice to have fun. A guy who caught a foul ball across the aisle from us handed it to one of my kids. That's a close I've ever come to catching one myself. So that was fun.  We picked the night because it was a fireworks night.  We got lucky because the Friday night game got rained out, so our tickets became the second half of a double header. I'll take as many innings as I can get, but when you have small children, and you have to get through the game, 7 innings is very nice

May be an image of 1 person, playing a sport and text that says 'You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays until the clock runs out. You got to throw the ball over the plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest sport of them all. CHICO CO'

As of yesterday, the DBacks would have to win their last 43 games to finish at .500.

I'm mad that I've seen them win a WS, and the Marlins win 2.  Yet the Tigers' only one came when I was 6 months old

The White Sox have never had a consistent identity as far as their uniforms go.  That logo harkens back to the 1919 "Black Sox."  I like this logo that was around in the '50s-'60s, and may be the official logo today for all I know.



Last baseball team I played on was named the White Sox and that was our logo, albeit in navy blue rather than black.
I liked the powder blue road unis that the Sox of the '60s wore.

Jack Morris seems done in the Tigers booth.  Good riddance
