Game 4 of the 1979 ALCS. Angels are down 2 games to 1 in the best of 5 series, but have the bases loaded with no outs. Angels fans are going wild…then in about 90 seconds some remarkable defense stops the rally cold. Doug DiCinces at 3B makes a remarkable play!

It’s hard. It’s worth it.
JUST IN: The Texas Rangers remain the ONLY MLB team not hosting a Pride Night.
Instead, they’re holding a Faith & Family Night this week.
God bless them.
It’s amazing how quickly the gatekeepers of culture decide what’s acceptable.
In June, every logo becomes a rainbow. Every stadium, every jersey, every broadcast gets a political message.
But put a Bible verse on your cap? Suddenly that’s “controversial.”
Put an American slogan front and center? Suddenly that’s “divisive.”
The NFL had no problem painting political movements in the end zone. Major League Baseball has no problem turning every June into a month-long corporate activism campaign.
Yet the moment someone wants to celebrate faith, patriotism, or traditional values, we’re told those things don’t belong in sports.
Funny how the people preaching inclusion always seem to have a very specific list of viewpoints they’re willing to include.
If rainbow logos belong in sports, then so do Bible verses.
If political messages belong in sports, then so do messages celebrating faith, family, and country.
The double standard isn’t subtle anymore. EVERYONE sees it.
Can someone please explain it to me like I'm five, why members of Congress are more upset that Elon became a trillionaire than they are that Somalis have defrauded our government out of hundreds of billions of dollars?
Look at this box we got here... it's our first Triple A baseball team!!
I grew up outside of Cincinnati and these guys over at the @LouisvilleBats are the Triple A affiliate of the Reds!
Thank you to Pat Kelly and the entire Bats organization! Good luck the rest of the year!
@readswithravi Mike Tomlin said, "The first 5 minutes never decide the outcome of the game."
"You may have what you perceive to be failure. Press on with the same spirit and determination that's allowed you to assemble here today."
Resilience is a choice. It's a choice to endure.
