And for the drummer leading the crowd chants, I nominate the Grateful Dead's Mickey Hart.

Are you worried that he’s getting hot a bit early?

@RuthODay @tabletopmania @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7

I'm sure hoping he is! And cools down in playoffs. #Dodgers

First time we've seen 40-40 in a while. I feel like it's underappreciated.

@tabletopmania @YusufToropov @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7

Which Hairston Swiped a base?

I was thinking there were two Hairstons (Scott and Jerry-the-Father),

had forgotten about Jerry Junior,

then learned that they (Scott and Jerry Jr) are not the second, but third generation of Hairstons.

It started with Sammy Hairston, who played in the Negro Leagues of the time and broke the Chicago White Sox color line in 1951.

Enquiring minds want to know!

PS More useless baseball trivia: Johnny Hairstons’s wedding at the Hermosillo stadium was the basis for the raised-bats wedding scene in the movie Bull Durham.

@RuthODay @YusufToropov @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7
It is Jerry Jr. who was born in Iowa.

@tabletopmania @YusufToropov @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7

He played for Mexico in a World Baseball Classic. (I think that his mother is from Mexico).

Luke Easter collided with Gary Gentry on a play at first in the 5th and absolutely flattened Gentry. Gentry goes on the 21 day IL. The Diamondbacks have called up Tom Wilhelmsen. Easter had a mild ankle sprain and will miss 3 days. The Mudcats have called up Dmitri Young.

@RuthODay @YusufToropov @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7

Hit this in training today. Fastest as a 39 year old.

Nolan’s going to melt the radar gun pretty soon!
@RuthODay @YusufToropov @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7
A far cry from that happening but I'll take every mph I can get.

@tabletopmania @YusufToropov @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7

Do the Gnats have any more games?

I wonder if anyone else in the league throws heat like you can.

@RuthODay @YusufToropov @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7
Oh no. We’re done for the year. There’s probably 4-6 guys that throw harder than I do.

@tabletopmania @YusufToropov @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7

Oh, and I forgot to ask: can any of those Nuke Lalooshes (sp?) hit like you do?
: )

@RuthODay @YusufToropov @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7
There’s some talent in the league for sure. I think i led in HR’s last season. There’s a kid that might get drafted next summer and a guy that has been in and out of Indy ball.
@RuthODay @YusufToropov @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7
No not even close. There’s a very broad spectrum of competition. The best teams could compete with good college teams and the bottom couldn’t beat an average high school team. There’s a small percentage that can compete reasonably at the pro level.

Just realized I only posted a game sheet 🤦‍♂️

@tabletopmania @YusufToropov @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7

I tried to read the names and make due. I think that I correctly interpreted Vander Meer as one of the pitchers, but I really question your putting in The Dalai Lama at shortstop. At his age he should be the DH.
