It was always an awkward moment when someone needed the red bat.
“Yeah, Billy, you can play but you gotta use the red bat.”
“But I wanna use the yellow bat like everybody else.”
“Motherfucker, you went 0-for-46 yesterday. The yellow bat is no longer an option for you.”

When: May 19th 2026
Topic: MSHSL, Title IX
Board members discuss whether to participate in the Minnesota State High School League.
Board member Erica Foster:
"I stand by the principle that participation in athletics should be based on biological sex rather than gender identity."
"I strongly encourage MSHSL to evaluate its approach to gender versus sex-based sports categories, most notably allowing biological males to play in girls' sports. Title IX must be enforced by its original intent, equal opportunities for females and males in athletics.
Final vote: 6-0 in favor
What have the fans done wrong to break the relationship, and why do fans have to do anything to repair it? We paid for the Pohlad’s stadium. We drank their $15 beer. We paid their ticket service fees. We devoted time and care to substandard rosters. We’ve done plenty.
Public Service Announcement
If your son was dismissed from his high school team for missing the teams spring break tournament, to go on vacation (beach trip, etc.).
Or
Your son isn't getting playing time because he missed the spring break tournament for vacation.
Do this.
Call the school's athletic director or principal and request a meeting.
Tell them it's important.
At the meeting, tell them how much you appreciate the coach caring enough about your son to teach him about life, and how much you appreciate him holding your son accountable.
Then thank them for hiring a coach that cared about commitment, sacrifice and teaching the kids that being a great teammate comes with responsibilities.
Then suggest they give the coach a raise, shake their hands and reiterate how much you appreciate them.

If you want basketball to be a sport again then ban the 3 pt line for the next 10 yrs so kids can develop an overall game like cutting to the basket, low post game, follow your shot, box out, protect the rim, defense.
Enough of 3 chucking. Get back to fundamentals.
This transfer stuff in high school has to stop. Here is a novel idea, grow and develop where your feet are. Learn work ethic, accountability, and leadership skills instead of running away when you don't get your way. This also goes for parents. The grass isn't always greener
The #MNTwins payroll currently sits at around $120 million which is the 8th lowest in the majors.
Over $30 million of that will go to Pablo Lopez and Carlos Correa, both will not play for the Twins in 2026.
If you subtract that from their current payroll they would rank 29th.
Brianna Eggers is the 7th player to reach 1,000 career points for the Buffalo girls basketball team. The last one to do so was her current Head Coach Jordan Zrust (left), who did it in 2018.
