Anybody else planning their day tomorrow around Yankees-Guardians? I think this rivalry just got some extra spice.

Next: How about Part 5 of Waite Hoyt with Bob Trumpy in 1981?
He discusses differences in the game from the 1920's to then.

@CespedesBBQ He had my interest at "6 foot 7 inches tall and plays shortstop" and moon shots like this just add to it.

@FabianArdaya And they're totally sleeping on the Pirates.

Why does Jesse Winker make all the sense in the world for Seattle? He has destroyed right-handers the last two years. And in an AL West that’s particularly heavy with RHP, he looks awfully good in the middle of the Mariners’ lineup. Huge get as Seattle builds for the future.

Absolutely should be in the Hall of Fame.

@NJ_RepMindLC @Omedocin @nytmike @DavidWaldstein That "poll" was debunked long ago.

[The Joy Of Baseball @PlayNineToday]

@MrJBobbyP @nytmike @DavidWaldstein You're an idiot if you think a sports team name is "representation," let alone the only way to have representation.

@rydogg33 @KevinBarryTV @Indians @nytimes @ElectMattDolan @MLB @Lindor12BC @MLBNetwork Racism isn't strong. Decency isn't weak. If you're only supporting a team if their name insults Native Americans, you're a worthless "fan."

[The Joy Of Baseball @PlayNineToday]

@MrJBobbyP @nytmike @DavidWaldstein Your comparison is incredibly insulting to Native Americans, proving the need for the name change.
