@hochman Hey, I have that ball!

[Jeff Scott @birdbats]

@AugieNash I was there with my dad. Can confirm it was miserable. Were ready to leave once Philly got a hit. Obviously, we stayed 'til the bitter (cold) end.

@RonFilipkowski Whenever I read "MAGA," I substitute "gullible" and everything makes more sense.

@TylerKepner Tony La Russa often signed that way

[Jeff Scott @birdbats]

@AugieNash Another 1956 prototype. Note the trim around the sleeves and neck. And it has a zipper instead of buttons.

@Cardinals Dear authenticator, it's OK to put the hologram on the back vs. over the signature. Love, collectors everywhere.

[Jeff Scott @birdbats]

@RepBost Thank you for going on the record to say you support higher prices for your constituents and don't give a crap about farmers. Maybe you don't understand that's what you've said, but voters understand.

@AugieNash If anyone has one of these jerseys, PLEASE contact me immediately!

[Jeff Scott @birdbats]

@flagstafffilms @Cardinals I'd guess 1954. We see #27 (likely Al Brazle) who retired after the '54 season; his #27 was worn by a coach (Lou Kahn) in 1955. Also see #26 (likely Hal White) -- nobody wore #26 for the Cards in 1955.

@MLBNow I wore #7 and became a switch hitter because of ... Reggie Smith. Criminally underrated.

@AugieNash Pour one out for Mark and his Nutty Buddy. :) https://t.co/vGgbuqfoht

@RonFilipkowski Isn’t this the underlying theme of the movie Idiocracy?

@katiejwoo Katie, thanks for mentioning the weather. It is the reason I skipped the Yankees series and many other games. I have no desire to sit outside when the heat index is 100+ or when rain delays are likely. Seems like the home schedule this year has coincided with many awful days.

@AugieNash The 1926 home unis were very plain. The regular season jersey (left) featured the Old English STL on the sleeve; the WS jersey (right) had a different logo and added piping. The roads, however, were great--with green pinstripes and green sock stripes.

[Jeff Scott @birdbats]

@TMASTL I remember when they wore navy on the road, but wore red on the road in spring training...and I used to think, "Wow, the red really pops against the gray. They should keep that look." Still feel that way. Navy with gray is boring.

@Ken_Rosenthal Strange-but-true: Jackson Chourio has 2 career 4-hit games. Both came at Busch (today and 8/21/24). Both games ended with a Nolan Arenado WO HR vs. Trevor Megill. And Ryan Helsley notched both wins; his win today came after giving up a game-tying HR ... to Chourio.

@poloascencio @Padres @Cardinals Polo, I know how much Fernando meant to you. My condolences.
