My dad is 92 years old.

We call him Big Clint.

He's 5'9" on a good day.

I'm named after him. And there are no Hurdle-isms without him.

Sixty-two years ago, he walked out to the backyard with two gloves and two baseballs and asked me a question.

"Son, you want to play catch?"

I said, "Catch what?"

He said, "A baseball."

My life has never been the same since.

He gave me my work ethic. He gave me my love for the game. He gave me the thing that has held the center through over 50 seasons of professional baseball, through the wins, the losses, the letting go and the starting over.

But here's the thing about my dad: he came from a generation where men didn't say I love you out loud. They worked hard. They showed up. They gave you everything, except maybe the words.

So one day, I decided to say it first.

I looked at him and said, "Dad, I love you."

He looked back at me and said, "Me too."

That was the beginning.

We worked at it. Both of us. Slowly, the words got easier. The hugs got real. Now whenever I see him, I give him a hug, kiss him on the cheek, and tell him I love him. And he looks me in the eyes and says, "I love you too, son."

Doesn't get much better than that.

Happy Father's Day, Dad. You started something in that backyard that I'm still passing on today.

I love you.

If the Pirates want to have ANY shot at a wildcard spot they need to do the following few things:

1)Fire Bill Murphy immediately.

2)Fire Don Kelly immediately, ask Clint Hurdle to come on as interim manager to save the season

3)Send down Billy Cook, bench Jared Triolo

@JJ_Kitchen40 Thanks for posting this JJ!!
This is complete nonsense by this Big10 site, completely made up, no facts whatsoever to support his rhetoric

[Joe Brady 🍀 @dalyjb23]

@MarkMaddenX Absolutely!!

[Joe Brady 🍀 @dalyjb23]

@ClintHurdle13 Always enjoy your thoughts and inspiration on X .
Met you at Starbucks on McKnight rd in Pittsburgh when you were the Buccos mgr, really enjoyed chatting with you and you couldn’t have been nicer !
Buccos could use your leadership now !!!

[Clint Hurdle @ClintHurdle13]

I've spent over 50 years in dugouts, clubhouses, and locker rooms.

I've been fired. Traded. Started over more times than I can count.

And somewhere along the way, I realized that the lessons I learned the hard way about leadership, about resilience, about showing up for the people around you are actually worth sharing.

And Speaking is one of my favorite ways to do that.

Over the last few months I've had the privilege of getting in front of a lot of rooms.

Corporate teams. Faith-based groups. Baseball organizations. Coaches. Leaders.

And every single time I walk away knowing it matters.

The back half of the year is opening up and I've got room for more.

Got a team that needs a spark, an event that needs a voice, or a room full of people ready to grow?

Tap the link in my bio, fill out the form, and let's talk.

Make a difference today.
Love, Clint

@Mikey5Aces Jones was getting shelled before he got hurt ..he’s back and nothing has changed !
Overrated and full of himself , thinks he’s way better than he is!

[Joe Brady 🍀 @dalyjb23]

[Joe Brady 🍀 @dalyjb23]

@radio_poe @BobSmizik @thecrow124 Mattson for sure 👍

[Joe Brady 🍀 @dalyjb23]

@BobSmizik @thecrow124 Ramirez is horrible, should have been DFA’d along with Santana , who also can’t get anyone out! Ramirez cannot throw the ball over the plate consistently. He has great “stuff” but without control he’s useless. But Pirates have no replacements in organization

[Joe Brady 🍀 @dalyjb23]

@BobSmizik Shop him for a 3rd baseman, he has talent but a malcontent, a team who’s desperate for success; a playoff position, needs leadership not selfishness. See what kind of offers you can get

[Joe Brady 🍀 @dalyjb23]

@KodyDuncanPGH It’s a shame we can’t play more teams managed by Shelton !!!
