This home run by James Wood was the longest opposite field home run in Major League Baseball since Colorado's Nolan Jones on Sept. 13, 2023 vs. Chicago-NL (452 ft.).
Found this image in an old @baseballpro article (h/t @wezen_ball). It ran in Popular Science in 1939, which goes to show that, even way back then, people were thinking about "robot umps" and how to perfect ball/strike calls. Pretty fun.

Y’all need to shut up about Black people being ‘DEI hires.’
@drfeedbacker@KenGardner11 Fossil fuels became cheap and abundant with enormous help from government. That’s fine, because as you point out, abundant energy is a great thing for society.
Governments need to do the same for renewable energy sources also. Level the playing field.
I'm Eileen Laubacher, the retired Rear Admiral and Democrat running against Lauren Boebert. And I know not to take photos during closed door or classified hearings... as well as to not tweet out the locations of members of Congress during active insurrections.
I’ll be watching the alternative alternative halftime show which will just be my older daughter screaming the Frozen soundtracks into a tiny karaoke machine while the little one dances on the coffee table
How do you know he said anything anti-American if you don’t understand Spanish?
I love America. Criticizing our leaders is the most American , patriotic thing we do. That’s how we roll, Megyn. That’s how we are different from citizens in dictatorships who can’t do so.
.@BrettFavre With all due respect to one of the greatest QBs ever — I didn’t grow up knowing where the Packers played, what Lambeau Field was, or why people proudly wear cheese on their heads 🧀😄.
I watched. I learned. And now I get it.
That’s how @NFL football works. And honestly, that’s how the Super Bowl halftime show works too. It’s not about only watching what you already know — it’s about discovering what millions of your fellow Americans already love.
Bad Bunny isn’t “foreign” to the Super Bowl — he is America too 🇺🇸🇵🇷🎶. Different sounds, same country, same game.
The Super Bowl is big enough for frozen fields, cheese hats, country music… and Spanish lyrics.
That’s not losing tradition. That’s America showing how big the tent really is. 🏈❤️
And you should try Tembleque, Alcapurrias and Mofongo! Don’t be sad, be happy!
More than 20 former Red Wings are on the various World Baseball Classic rosters that were revealed last night. 14 of the 20 countries in the event will have at least one former Red Wing on their playing roster with a few former Wings sprinkled in as coaches too.
This sentiment from the First Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California is dangerous and wrong.
Responsible public voices should be awaiting a full investigation, not making generalizations and demonizing law-abiding citizens.
The sight of them reminds us of footage from similar events in fascist Germany in the 1930s. The next elections are about 9 months away and everything must be done to ensure that they are democratic and not like in Germany at the time or Russia today.
