🧵: Been taking care of myself these past few weeks, which life called for. But I am ready to get back to it.
I am a senior designer with a background spanning brand systems, sports agencies, college athletic departments, and football recruiting.
The St. Pete Sunday Itinerary I had today:
• Start at Bandit Coffee with a Cortado and breakfast burrito
• Walk to the Trop for a 12:15 game and watch Junior Caminero hit a laser homer
• Pick up a Matcha Latte from Say Coffee House for the walk back to your car
10/10
Went to the tennis courts to hit a few serves, and ended up hitting with a complete stranger.
And we’re playing tomorrow!

THE GREATEST RUN IN HISTORY 🤯
Sabastian Sawe takes OVER A MINUTE off the world record in the marathon and becomes the first-ever sub-2 hour runner in an official race with a 1:59:30 victory over Yomif Kejelcha, who also breaks two hours in his debut marathon, running 1:59:41 for second.
Sawe is now 4 for 4 with marathon victories. After the leaders hit halfway in 60:29, Sawe ran 59:01 FOR HIS SECOND HALF as he and Kejelcha worked together to drop third placer Jacob Kiplimo, who himself ran 2:00:28 to finish under Kelvin Kiptum’s old WR mark.
Super proud of @morgansimmonsuk and the great work she does for UK Photo. She’s such a talented photographer and even better person.
And what a fantastic photo!
Thanks Phoenix for giving her the recognition she deserves.
After his electric performance in the World Baseball Classic (see what I did there?), it’s an honor to officially induct Ondřej Satoria as our first honorary member in the WBC wing of the Hall of Pretty Good.
Satoria, an electrical engineer as well as a pretty good ballplayer, captured the hearts of baseball fans all over the world in 2023 after striking out Shohei Ohtani. He then returned to the World Baseball Classic this year and threw 4.2 shutout innings against Japan (Shohei was reportedly too scared to face him a second time).
While we are not doing our typical voting style for this special honor, the HoPG’s Instagram broadcast channel voted 928 to 10 in favor of bestowing Ondřej Satoria with this special induction.
Ondřej Satoria represents us all, a hardworking man who plays the beautiful game of baseball with passion and respect. It is truly an honor to induct him as our very first honorary member.
It doesn’t get any more pretty good than that. 🇨🇿
