My Marshall McDougall story: 2023, I’m at the Publix in Dade City, FL. A jacked 45-55 year old dude walks by me. He’s wearing a “______ High School Baseball” shirt, I forget the name of the school.
I think to myself, “Is that Marshall McDougall?” I hadn’t thought of that name or seen a picture of him in 20 years. I googled _____ High School and, yes, Marshall McDougall was their coach.
On this day in 1999, Marshall McDougall put together arguably the greatest individual game in baseball history 🤯
The Florida State slugger went 7-for-7 with:
⚾ 6 HR
⚾ 16 RBI
⚾ 25 total bases
All NCAA single-game records.
After singling in his first at-bat against Maryland, McDougall homered in his next SIX plate appearances, completing a “home run cycle” with a solo shot, 2-run HR, 3-run HR and grand slam in a 26-2 win.

Happy Birthday to #Bisons manager Casey Candaele. He has the most managerial wins of the team’s modern era. He played on #Buffalo’s 1997 A.A. championship team and returned to manage the 2021 division champions. I spoke to him about his career: https://t.co/H7XkI5jQOm

SCOOP: @UIBaseball is promoting Wes Obermueller to pitching coach, I’m told.
Obermueller spent the last season in a player development role for the #Hawkeyes, specializing in pitching. He replaces Sean Kenny, who recently departed for Arizona. #BIG

This is Steve Smith.
He's on a mission to collect "Every Australian Baseball Card Ever."
With a collection of over 15,000 cards, he's dangerously close.

@ButchBaseball29 You know what? I think I’ve subconsciously done the same thing. I agree with you that “thanks” isn’t near as sincere, but I didn’t realize that I haven’t said it in probably years.
For the sixth year in a row, I have continued my tradition of delivering Christmas cards to the VA Home on Christmas Day. It’s a time to give back, celebrate heroes, and make a positive impact in the world. It’s a tradition unlike any other. Thank you for your incredible support.
