Junior finished that season with 49 home runs, Belle with 48.
53-year-old knuckleballer Vincent Towns made the start for the Atlantic League’s Hagerstown Flying Boxcars today 👏

🚨 Pete Rose's Keys to Success
• Be aggressive + Never afraid to fail
• Practice like it's Game 7 of the WS
• Always be ready for the Fastball
⭐️ Life's too short to worry about what might happen if you fail or mess up. Play hard. Play tough. Have fun.
The “boring” stuff wins ballgames:
-Backing up the play
-Putting the ball in play
-Moving the runner
-Making the routine plays
-Consistent communication
-Throwing strikes
-Smart baserunning
-Taking your walks
-Getting HBP, holding your ground
-Hitting a cutoff man
-Hustling out everything
*At some point, the “boring” tasks of ⚾️ will win extra games! And more often than not, playoff berths, seedings, playoff wins, and even championships can be determined and decided by what many would call “boring.”
Turn the “boring” into the “important” and that’s how you win!
