I love this article. It's been a wonderful rollercoaster ride since Jan of 2003 when I first laid eyes on @jj_redick. I am so happy he has found his post-playing path and that it doesn't involve disappearing to Montana like he mentioned in an interview while at Duke.
having two cats means watching one of them lick the other one’s forehead with deep, unconditional brotherly love, only for it to devolve into a full WWE smackdown exactly four seconds later.
FWIW, Texas currently holds the record for most tornadoes in a single year, with 245 tornadoes in 2015.
As of tonight, Illinois sits with at least 200 confirmed tornadoes, becoming the 2nd state ever to accomplish this. Texas' record is in serious jeopardy of falling. #ILwx
33 years ago today, Robin Ventura decided to charge Nolan Ryan
Big mistake. Nolan Ryan took care of him and then some. Fun fact - Nolan stayed in the game and proceeded to retire 12 of the next 13 batters
Freddie Freeman says he congratulates opposing hitters at first base
“If you get a hit, I’m saying, ‘Nice hit.’ You know how hard it is to get a hit in the big leagues?”
“I appreciate it. I tell every guy, ‘Nice swing,’ or, ‘Way to swing it.’”
“I know my pitchers probably wouldn’t like that.”
“We’re playing a game. It’s a kids’ game.”
“Sometimes you just forget when you’re going through the grind of the season.”
“My favorite is when it’s a big-league debut… And that guy gets his first hit. To be able to say, ‘Congratulations.’ You worked so hard your whole life to get there.”
“Sooner rather than later, I’m going to be retired, too. I just like to have fun with all the guys. I know we’re competing against each other… But you guys know it’s a brotherhood.”
“When you get to play this game for as long as we’ve got to… You’ve just got to enjoy the little moments.”
@BU_Smok3@FreddyLA7 That is so wild to me. Flying opened a whole world for me. My mind was blown the first time I flew. I spent half my life driving hours and hours and hours to get anywhere! It doesn't always make financial sense but it made going to the coasts possible for this Midwestern girl!
@FreddyLA7 So crazy that in 4 hours you drove to another country. I live in Central Illinois and if I drive straight south for 4 hours I will still be in Illinois! Haha, amazing. Thanks for the reference, @FreddyLA7
