DYK: Yadier Molina holds the Major League record for games caught with one franchise (2,184). The two-time World Series champion and 2018 Roberto Clemente Award winner spent his entire 19-year career with the St. Louis Cardinals.
OTD in 2022, Molina played his final regular season game. In 2026, he was inducted into the Cardinals Hall of Fame and managed Team Puerto Rico in the World Baseball Classic for the second time (2023, 2026). #HHM
Former PlayStation CEO, Shawn Layden spoke against Sony ending physical media and shed light on the concerns about game ownership in a digital-only future🚀
“If you don't own it, what are you buying?”
He added that this decision will be “a significant brand hit” and a “reputation bite” for PlayStation.
He went on to list the benefits of collecting and showing off your collection of games, and highlighted the very real concern about ownership:
“I think this is probably the more insidious aspect to it, is that it changes the conversation [to] ‘do you own a game or do you have access to a digital asset.
If you can’t sell a thing, that means you don’t own a thing. And if you don’t own it, then what are you buying? If you’re buying access, that doesn’t quite sound as sexy, to be honest. And people, as people tend to do, in their mind they’ll game out the worst case scenario.
And that’s a whole lot of brand hit and reputation bite that – as I said, I don’t have any visibility on the financials around it – but that’s a significant brand hit, and I hope it made sense to them.”
Once again, much respect to Layden as he proves to understand gamers and their concerns, rather than purely pleasing investors.
Him and Shuhei Yoshida would make great CEOs for Sony and probably are the only ones who can steer it back to what once was an unquestionably great entity at the top of the industry🥺
NO DISC 💿 NO BUY
PlayStation's former boss has defended physical games as "super important" as Sony prepares to move away from discs

Ayo @Sony@PS_Support_US What in the actual HECK is wrong with your PS5/PS5 Pro systems??? I captured a 25 minute video last night and it worked fine then, today I go back to play it and edit it, and now it says error, and is corrupt… this is the fifth time this has happened.😠
@SamShunning@BlevBrosSports@Ninja And also, they have a great point. It doesn’t take a genius to see that the Eagles’ offense sucks. Even Jason Kelce, who played for them and obviously is a fan literally talked about this issue on his and Travis’s New Heights podcast this week.
@SamShunning@BlevBrosSports@Ninja Nothing screams ‘I know ball’ quite like skipping the actual argument and telling someone to stick to video games. How bout you just save your and their time and not say crap like this.
@EW I disagree with Sly on that, idc, I really enjoyed Rocky V, it felt deep. These are drama films, not sports films, as the category says when looking at the description. I think it nailed it with that, Rocky moving onto retirement. Don’t listen to the haters Sly.

Is the Avengers Doomsday special sneak peek a separate thing from Endgame Encore? Or are the 4 post-credit scenes supposed to be that? I thought that was supposed to be the new Encore footage, then the special look at Doomsday was after that. Anyone know? https://t.co/fes0wbCAse
“It’s always rigged for the Chiefs” yeah I don’t think so pal. If you hate so called “Rigged Chiefs” games, then you should hate Brady’s flat football scandals 1000x more.
