Sweet sisters @malika_andrews and @kendra__andrews get to spend an NBA game and then Thanksgiving together! So proud of them both!

Dear @BusterPosey, you are a rare bird.

You have what most of us MLB players never did, true perspective. You didn’t bow down & worship the game of baseball as if it were your God. In the eyes of @SFGiants fans, you walked on water but to you, it was just a game you loved to...

[Ann Killion @annkillion]

One of the great legacies of the catcher's career is the number of dogs named either Buster or Posey in the Bay Area.

@DavidWaldstein A friend who lived in NY years ago said it was the most civil place in the country -- because with all the tight housing, long lines and packed streets, sidewalks, subways, there should probably be fistfights on every corner every minute of the day.

As ever, @TylerKepner nails it.

“Can you think of anybody else in baseball who people would actively say, ‘You know, I wouldn’t mind if the Astros won — because of Dusty’?” General Manager James Click said of Dusty Baker. https://t.co/nFbW7iuMHp

If you are wondering what the heck a full swing and what a checked swing are, you are not alone. This, from 2018 ⤵️

The Giants held a moment of silence for Ray Fosse ❤️

My deepest condolences to the Fosse family. Ray was a dear friend. I cherished our long history and will miss him dearly. Oakland Coliseum will never be the same without Ray. @Athletics #oaklandathletics

[Josh Reddick @JRedDubDeuce]

I am so heartbroken. Ray Fosse was such a special person for not only myself but for the @Athletics organization. Rest In Peace my friend. We love you!

[John Shea @JohnSheaHey]

Such terrible news. Ray Fosse, synonymous with A's baseball since the '70s, has died. Well respected and liked around the game, a friendly face and voice at the ballpark, always willing to share his knowledge and stories. He'll be missed by all.

[Susan Slusser @susanslusser]

I’m so sorry to learn that Ray Fosse has died. I learned as much or more baseball from him over 25 years than maybe anyone else in the game. His tremendous insights and his passion for the A’s will be so missed. A very sad day for the organization and for Major League Baseball.

I couldn’t wait for my first live look at Stephen Curry’s pregame tunnel sprint in 19 months, then he made it a little sweeter. Such a thoughtful human being (and superstar!).

We all know about Gabby, but what about the girls we never hear about? Important work here. Thank you, Frenchie!
