“I’ll just get gas in the morning” is the worst mistake I keep making as an adult. 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Leaders don’t always need to make the perfect decision, just the courage to choose a direction and adjust as needed.

Not enough people talk about Juan Gonzalez

• .295 BA, 434 HR, 1404 RBI, .904 OPS
• 2x MVP, 3x All-Star, 6x Silver Slugger
• 2x MLB home run leader (1992-93)
• 1998 AL 2B (50) & RBI (157) leader
• 40 HR 5x, 140 RBI 3x, 300 TB 7x
• Hit seven walk-off home runs
• HR off 270 different pitchers
• Career 42 HR, 135 RBI per 162 😲
• 8 XBH, 17 RBI, .978 OPS vs. Chuck Finley
• 9 XBH, 14 RBI, 1.152 OPS vs. Chuck Nagy
• One of just seven players in MLB to hit at least 300 HR while maintaining a .290+ BA throughout the decade of the 1990s, a list on which he is joined by a who's who of the game's greatest sluggers: HOF'ers Ken Griffey Jr., Frank Thomas, and Fred McGriff, as well as HOF-type hitters Barry Bonds, Albert Belle, and Rafael Palmeiro.

Despite being a 2-time MVP, a top-50 player of all time by HR, AB/HR, and SLG, and a top-100 player of all time by XBH, RBI, and OPS, Juan Gone never received more than 5.2% of the HOF vote during his two years on the BBWAA ballot.

@DiscussingFilm Only the best for the #TorrenceFamily!

Can classrooms thrive without teachers? Arizona is replacing traditional teaching with AI-driven curricula. Is this the future of education or a recipe for disaster?

Intelligence isn’t just brains—it’s benevolence. Smart people value independence and kindness, says new research.

Hard to argue against it! Three years later, and the impact has been undeniable—on the field and in the clubhouse. Definitely one of the all-time great moves by the @Rangers!
