🇺🇸 Last night, Gold Star wife @SharrellAnne2 made a plea on 𝕏, asking for a photo of her late husband SSG Alan Shaw’s grave at Arlington
And MAN did patriots step up!
DOZENS have visited SSG Shaw’s gravesite, including DNI @TulsiGabbard, who left a gift.
So freaking proud that we could make this happen!
THANK YOU, PATRIOTS! 🇺🇸
Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.
They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.
France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend
Elimination game walk off. Lost in the chaos is TX Southern player showing love to the Jax State LF who made a terrific throw. Runner just beat the tag. #SWAC
One of the greatest things I ever witnessed from Elliott Avent had nothing to do with baseball.
During COVID, when our friend and teammate Chris Combs was battling ALS in hospice, we were told we couldn’t go see him.
@Elliott_Avent wouldn’t accept that.
Here is the story…
Baylor is a special place with special people and special culture. Spend a season or more together and it has a profound positive impact on both the players and coaches and all associated with the program!
El subidón de Josh Ekness en May demuestra que la velocidad y el control fino pueden abrir puertas: proyección de bullpen dominante si pule comando. Seguimos atentos a sus avances. #Prospects#Marlins https://t.co/UhBuMNQ6t6

When I was at UCLA, I asked Barry Bonds what it took to become a major league hitter.
He told me 2 things:
1. Hit a fastball at any speed.
2. Don’t miss hanging off-speed pitches.
I made my MLB debut in 2013.
Winning baseball. Check the box ✅
A guy with 23 home runs and 73 RBI lays down a safety squeeze in the College World Series to score a huge run. That’s winning baseball.
How many tools are in your toolbox? How many different ways can you impact the game and hurt the opponent?
Or are you one-dimensional?
Or worse… selfish?
“I don’t bunt, I hit bombs.”
Championship teams and championship players can do it all. Team-first mentality. Beautiful. Refreshing.

Tarleton State Player Development in Action: Individual Work to Team Concepts
with Fuller Smith
In this session, Smith breaks down how Tarleton State builds from detailed individual work into full-team concepts that translate on game day.
Inside this video:
✔️ Structuring individual skill sessions with purpose
✔️ Connecting development to offensive and defensive systems
✔️ Building continuity from early work to team segments
✔️ Creating buy-in through clarity and progression
This young man on the mound, a senior in high school, started the game and threw one pitch in the game on senior day.
The back story is that he was injured by a line drive in March ending his career with a brain bleed. The young man up to bat is a senior and the son of the mom who filmed this. He agreed to not swing at the pitch.
They said there wasn't a dry eye in the ballpark. This game is so much greater than that little white ball!
In a world of such chaos and hate, I love, love, love this so much.❤️
How can you not be romantic about baseball?
Breaking News.
Players that enter the transfer portal don't need to announce it online.
That's what the portal is for.
But since you want the attention.
When making your transfer portal announcement.
Post your game stats.
Nobody gives a shit about your exit velocity, launch angle, spin rate, run and gun velocity, etc.
Can you play?
What are your game stats.
How did you do in the games?
You can also save the theatrics of how much you love the program and coaches you're transferring from.
