One of the wildest stories you may read today ⬇️
A couple accidentally showed up to a game with tickets to the next night's game
So they bought 2 more tickets and ended up catching Willy Adames' home run ball
Then they came back the next night with their original tickets, sitting nearly in the exact same spot as the night before ...
Then Adames hit another home run and they caught it AGAIN 🤯
Haven’t posted on social in quite some time but can’t stay quiet in this time of loss. I’m struggling to tell all what Bobby Cox meant to me and so many others in Braves Country.
He was the leader of men and a second father to so many Atlanta Braves thru the yrs. I’m so sad today, but as I sit here watching my two youngest boys play in their championship games on the day he passed, I can’t help but shout the same things he did from the corner of the dugout. ‘Come on kid, u got this!’
We are gonna miss him so much, but his legacy is forever cemented with the success of this franchise for the last 35+ yrs. He started it as GM, continued as manager, and passing the torch to others, the Atlanta Braves will continue to be force that Bobby Cox always wanted us to be. We love you Skipper. You were our rock. I love you more than words can express.
My boys won both of their games…..Bobby had a hand, I have no doubt!
Recapping Mike Trout's series at Yankee Stadium:
5 HR
9 RBI
8 runs
3 walks
HR in every game
The only other player in MLB history to do all of that in any 4-game series at any location was Babe Ruth against the Tigers at the Polo Grounds from June 11-14, 1921.
Incredibly grateful after my longest work trip ever. To @MLB_PR for having me do game notes for the whole @WBCBaseball, + to everyone who helped make this happen 😭
To my baseball family, ♥️. And to all who came up to me to say hello/intro, thank you for the kind words 🥺
Italy is mauling Team USA. It's 8-0 in the top of the sixth, and because of tiebreaker rules that factor in runs allowed, the Americans have put themselves in a position where if Mexico beats Italy tomorrow, the U.S. could find itself out of the WBC before the knockout round.
