Fun fact: UVA drew over 200,000 more fans to home games than any other school in Virginia in 25-26.

The delta between #1 & #2 is nearly the same as the population of Richmond or Norfolk.

Highest attended year in the history of collegiate sports in Virginia! #GoHoos 🔸⚔️🔹

@TheDataCage -6,-5 and -4 is just proof it’s a money grab by USA Baseball who get revenue for every bat certified. -5 alone is enough and should be capped to JV or lower. Now players will keep swinging lighter bats longer instead of adding weight bc they have the lower weight pathway imo.

[David Spence @hoodaves]

@CoachDavis94 @CoachSmitty904 USA Baseball will make a bunch as they get paid by every manufacturer for certification of every bat.

[David Spence @hoodaves]

@Coach_Beltran_ It’s really going to hurt independent shops like mine. How can we carry all these SKUs? USA Baseball will get a windfall from all the bats they have to approve.

@CoachSmitty904 @CoachDavis94 If kids just got the right length and stopped watching the Bros, this wouldn’t be a thing. So disappointing.

@drivelinekyle This is the dumbest baseball decision I’ve seen in my almost 20 years of owning a sports shop

Heartwarming: New Giants rookie WR Malachi Fields's wife Peyton posted a behind-the-scenes video after he was drafted.

The team flew them in first class, had a driver pick them up, and then visited the facility and took media photos.

It's so cool to see what goes on behind closed doors.
