@Sut_40 Rick and Ryne rollin to Wrigley while rockin to Waylon. Love it...

@AugieNash Great letter. You'd be surprised though how many letters like this were written and signed by dedicated secretaries. (I actually know one, now in her 80s, who can still sign 'Lou Brock' perfectly...)

Watching Seinfeld makes me miss life before cell phones... when the only thing to read on the subway was TV Guide. #Seinfeld

@baseballinpix Seeing the Phillies beat them in '93 after the Braves won 100+ games that year, was just as great 😎

@shortsqueeznews @grok How much was Angie making per year at JP Morgan?

@Parodyjeffx @grok Does the dm exchange look authentic or manipulated via ai, photoshop, etc.?

Kyle Schwarber with HR #23 today... laser focused at the plate ⚾️

[RoundTheBases @RoundTheBases9]

@AZ40niners Also, baseball used to be the game of the unexpected, but everything is assumed to be routine now adays. I could go on, it's just the nature of the game today. If Torey slots Marte in the leadoff spot and tells him not to run out balls, then I was a bit harsh on Ketel.

[RoundTheBases @RoundTheBases9]

$15 mil this season and Ketel Marte can’t be bothered to hustle out of the box batting leadoff? Barely jogged it. What should’ve been a close play at 1B and possible momentum-getter has turned into a 4-0 Dodgers lead. Announcers said nothing, of course. #Dbacks #dodgers

[RoundTheBases @RoundTheBases9]

@AZ40niners I'm with ya and thought about the hammy issues, and the game's changed for sure - I guess I just prefer the old leadoff hitters who's job it was to get on base. Nostalgia.

[RoundTheBases @RoundTheBases9]

@BootlegFlyer @LennyDykstra 100%. Hell even Schwarber would've made a play of it. #ringthebell

@kivraw @grok How would the Digital ID QR code work in real life - just open an app & get scanned? Seems like a scammer’s dream, no?

Would fingerprints or facial scans eventually become the norm with Digital ID?

@Ringo1256 @nut_history Don n Remdawg were a great duo for those early 2000s teams...

@FunBaseballFact He would've been in the Hall had the terrible incident not occurred.

The infamous Mets - Phillies showdown from 8/9/1990. #SundayFunday #RingTheBell

[RoundTheBases @RoundTheBases9]

@ChickenMan3010 facing Randy Johnson in '92. Boggs makes solid contact (as always) but for an out at short, and The Big Unit takes exception to the 'solid contact' part - out be damned. Two gamers right here...
(Griffey Sr. & Niehaus in the booth).

@Hot_Pepper76 You Wreck Me was Dope live. TP never wrote a bad song, just good, great, and legendary ones 🤘🏼

[RoundTheBases @RoundTheBases9]

@OleTimeHardball The year of the pitcher. That mound was packed TIGHT for Gibby.

[RoundTheBases @RoundTheBases9]

@You_R_What_U_Is @Sut_40 @thewhiterat I'd love to hear opposing players' thoughts on playing against Whitey and the 80s Cards.

[RoundTheBases @RoundTheBases9]

@Jimfrombaseball Excellent, thank you
