important baseball tweets

I look at the first 10 digits of line scores in case one forms a phone number. I found one this year, I can’t tell you the game, that would be intrusive. I called the number, and a guy answered! I hung up without speaking. What was I going to say, your number is a line score?

this man wasn't a baseball thief - he actually runs a local charity dedicated to giving away baseballs to the most deserving children in the tri-state area!

but good on him. honestly, i occasionally work in the camera pit at baseball games and have witnessed some of the most pathetic behavior possible re: adults wanting baseballs, so the clip (as it appeared on the surface) didn't surprise me

"As The Washington Post notes, fan rivalries may have played a role in the revelations about Newcomb and Turner, whose Braves and Nationals compete in the same division. The newspaper observes that the past tweets were dug up by Twitter accounts apparently run by fans of the opposing clubs"

I just started typing the words “I got” and my phone’s suggestions for the next word we’re “to,” “for,” and “DFAd.” This is not a joke. It’s just happened that many times.

On this day 46 years ago the American League adopted the designated hitter rule. The age of strategy was gone; that of sophisters, economists, and calculators had succeeded; and the glory of baseball was extinguished forever.

watching professionla sports teams interact w ewach other in the thread under that cleveland tweet is deeply ufcked up, like, it just hit me really viscerally hard right now how insane a bunch of poorly paid 20 somethings more or less professionally roleplaying a billion dollar organization online is (esp when the org can get in trouble if they do it wrong)
