If you weren’t a Walker Jenkins fan before, you are now. No hesitation. He sees the kid is in trouble, picks him up and runs to the dugout. What a superstar. What a human. We need so many more of these people.

The Kool-Aid Man once injured a kid by not getting a bunt down 😂

This baby went from sad/confused to absolute JOY the second those glasses went on.
First time seeing the world clearly. That smile says everything.
♥️ Heart = melted.
Who else is obsessed with these moments?

I kept this story in my pocket for a long time....

In Pittsburgh, September 15th is Roberto Clemente Day.

Every year the whole organization fans out across the city. It's like Christmas. Roberto's family is there, Vera and the boys.

My first year as manager was 2011. We celebrated. We shook hands and moved on.
We didn't win.

19 consecutive losing seasons.

2012 rolls around. Same day, same celebration. We had another losing season, our 20th consecutive.

After the ceremony, Roberto Jr. walked over.

"My mom wants to talk to you."

We went into the dugout. Me, Vera, and her three sons.

She spoke in Spanish. I played four years of winter ball so I understood enough. She wasn't angry, but she was passionate. And I kept hearing Roberto's number come up.

Roberto Jr. translated.

"My mother wants you to know that there cannot be a 21st losing season. That was Roberto's number. It would be a disgrace to his legacy."

She was staring right at me.

Before I could even think about what to say, words came out of my mouth:
"I promise you, Vera. That won't happen."

Roberto Jr. looked at me and said, "You made my mom a promise. I hope you can keep it."

I said, "I hope I can keep it too."

I didn't tell my coaches. I didn't tell the players. I told my wife. That was it.

The next year, 2013, we broke the consecutive seasons losing streak. Ended it at 20.

On Roberto Clemente Day that September, Vera came walking across that field.

And I probably got one of the most meaningful hugs I've ever received in my life.

The players did all the heavy lifting. I just got the hug.

Some promises are worth making before you know if you can keep them.

[Dudes Posting Their W’s @DudespostingWs]

An MLB player tosses a ball to a kid wearing his jersey.

The kid makes the catch… then hands it to his little sister and gives her a hug. How can you not love baseball

@DallasStars Listen Up....You lost the Stankoven-Rantanen trade. ESPN said it. Has to be true. Bwwaaahhhaaa!!!

[Dan Clark @DanClarkSports]

The Red Sox have lost 8 of 10.

Kids in Boston are fucking starving.

[BaseballHistoryNut @nut_history]

This dude did four incredible things in two seconds.

-Did not spill his beer
-Made a one hand barehanded catch
-Let the baby go and caught it with plenty of time to spare
-And give the old geezer behind him a brain aneurysm

This is peak athleticism and will never be replicated and he deserves lifetime season tickets
