Never forget this Hubert Davis moment from 2022.
Sure, we need a better coach, but couldn’t have asked for a better man.
Thanks for everything, Hubert. 🩵 #GoHeels
This is the beauty of the WBC:
A 29-year-old bearded electrician from Ostrava, Czechia who has played baseball his whole life in a country where very few play the sport helps Czechia qualify for its first-ever WBC, strikes out Shohei Ohtani on a pitch he says came out of his hand wrong, and becomes one of the faces of the Classic.
Ondřej Satoria, who is retiring from the national team after this tournament, will leave Japan where he gets stopped for autographs and photos and receives standing ovations, and fly back to Ostrava where he’s a normal guy with a simple life.
And while no one back home is stopping him in the streets for autographs, imagine the stories he’ll have for his 2-year-old son when he grows up.
“The most important thing is that the baseball community from around the world now knows that Czechia plays baseball.”
- @OndrejSatoria in @michaelsclair’s book “We Sacrifice Everything to Baseball” 🇨🇿
As a Duke fan, I gotta say this one was for you, UNC fans 😂. That NC State belt flex on an injured UNC squad was corny! 🤦🏾♂️
I’m a sports fan at the end of the day, and that moment just didn’t sit right. But hey, it’s all lessons, what you put into the universe is what it gives back. 🙏🏾💯
Amazing coach and an even better human being. Coach even calls and checks on me and I only played there a year! That simple gesture has taught me how much relationships matter in coaching and development. Thank you Coach, as a coach now myself I hope to achieve this with my teams
MIKE TIRICO’S ALL-TIME GREAT OLYMPICS SIGN-OFF:
“All the young people out there, those dreams are formed now. Go chase them, our country loves sports, it brings us together unlike anything else. And if you didn’t know that: you saw it in Team USA Hockey”
After UNC’s win over Georgia Tech, @TheJetOnTNT introduced freshman Caleb Wilson to Charlie Scott.
Scott was the first African-American student-athlete to receive a scholarship to UNC 👏
The Replacements is a damn good sports movie. Is this an all-timer? I mean, probably not. But the late Gene Hackman & Keanu Reeves work well together & I find this film to be hilarious. In fact, the entire cast here is great. This is a TNT/TBS mainstay if I’ve ever seen one.
