All 1,000 of Shohei Ohtani's MLB hits 🤩

[David Adler @_dadler]

21 yrs ago I was a NESN truck intern watching Jerry relentlessly roast Don over what a lunar eclipse is. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard to this day. Enjoy the best six min of your week. (Enormous h/t to @sidsethupathi)

[Home Run Report @homerunreport]

Juan Soto had 35 home runs in 2023, so the short porch in the Bronx should add plenty more, right? Statcast says: maybe not --> https://t.co/wh1DqxqAaK

I'm really excited about this feature!
