We have reached the 56 game mark —the typical college season duration. It’ll be interesting to see how some of the newer guys in MiLB respond to the lengthened season.

Baseball is a marathon when you make it to this level.

Sixty-five years later a stadium security guard has memories of working the scoreboard at the last CWS no-hitter.

Two great games to get things started.

Drake Osborne was sent up to AAA for a couple of games. He’s back in AA.

After making his MLB debut, Brandon Young is back in AAA.

Tyler Robertson was placed on the 7 day IL.

@Chandler_Rome @Crush_City_Pod @tylercstafford Didn’t even realize the Bryan King (McNeese - Houston) connection. Pretty cool.

@FoundersPodcast Great episode on Todd Graves. We need a book on him. I’m from Louisiana and it is incredible to see the growth of Raising Canes.

A month has passed since Bob Kierlin's death. Though he built Fastenal into a $44B market cap giant, he remained an unknown titan of industry—exactly as he preferred.

Kierlin's true legacy lies in his approach to company culture. He was one of the few CEOs who genuinely meant it when speaking about employee empowerment. In his book "The Power of Fastenal People," he emphasized that organizations are simply people uniting for a common purpose, with success coming when everyone aligns toward the same goal.

When Kierlin debuted the book in 1999 to share the lessons he learned as CEO, it did not sell out. Rather than continuing to publish it commercially, he stopped selling it altogether and instead turned it into a handbook distributed to Fastenal employees to help them understand the company's unique culture.

What these pages don't reveal, however, is Kierlin's remarkable generosity—a quality that made him not just respected, but beloved as a leader.

After Fastenal's 1987 IPO, instead of buying a house or a car, he established a charity with his co-founders to fund schools in his hometown of Winona—an act he never mentioned in his book, revealed only through thankful editorials in local papers.

To honor his legacy, I'm giving away 10 copies of his book. To enter, simply follow me, retweet this post, and send me a direct message or email [email protected].

I wanted to start reading more biographies. First up was Shoe Dog by Phil Knight. Followed up the book with podcast reviews by @AcquiredFM and @FoundersPodcast. Enjoyed this flow and plan on doing the same with more going forward.

If you're not watching live, make sure to come back and watch the replay of this conversation. Tons of stories I've never heard about Wayne Graham that have made me smile.
