It’s been a great first month on my new Substack—Extra Innings: Baseball stories from beyond the boxscore. Check out some of the tales we’ve told. https://t.co/yHPUSgtEGZ

@IsaacEdelman Way to go, Isaac!

[Glenn Geffner @GlennGeffner]

@FAUpresident @FAUBaseball This was great! See what happens when you spend a day with @FloridaAtlantic Sports Broadcasting students? If you’d have just mentioned that the Andy Griffith Show was coming up next, I’d have thought I was listening to Skip Caray.

You might not know Mike Vickers’ name, but—if you’re a baseball fan of a certain age—you know his work as well as you know that of Nolan Ryan, Rod Carew and George Brett. Meet Vickers in my latest Extra Innings.

Sad to hear about the passing of Ted Turner, a titan in the worlds of business, broadcasting, conservation and philanthropy. He was also the long-time owner of the Atlanta Braves, and I recently wrote this story about his one night as Braves manager. https://t.co/pDhZDNFc4l

@IsaacEdelman @TheNECBL Can’t wait to tune in. You’re going to crush it, Isaac!

The BBC commentary of York’s INCREDIBLE 105th-minute title clinching goal at Rochdale…goosebumps 🤯

Been watching so much college softball lately, and I’m seeing SO MANY student photographers and videographers working.

Y'all deserve ALL the respect. Working in college sports media is a full-time job, in addition to balancing school and a social life.

[Sean Grande @SeanGrandePBP]

Just some wonky words on the sudden outrage towards local RSN's no longer broadcasting NBA playoff games.

Most of you don't care and truth be told, this shouldn't be your problem.

Short version: You can see all the games, and hear your team voices call them.

Longer version...

@Sut_40 But not the last!

A great baseball man. It was a privilege to work with and learn from Davey during our years together with the Padres. And I treasured the chance to get his perspective on the game during his time as manager of the Brewers and during his long run as a coach with the Phillies. RIP.

[Los Angeles Dodgers @Dodgers]

The Dodgers mourn the loss of Davey Lopes, who passed away today at age 80. Lopes was a member of the team’s record-setting infield of the 1970s and 1980s and one of the finest basestealers in MLB history. Our condolences go out to his family and friends.

In today's FREE Extra Innings, the story of the worst team in Major League history. (You mean to tell me that team picture doesn't strike fear in your heart?)

[Bill Simmons @BillSimmons]

Zach and I tossed some much-deserved love to Charlotte’s broadcast team this season — led by the great Eric Collins who had a Jokic-like year. I thought Charlotte, Denver and Boston were the 3 best League Pass TV teams this season.
