Maybe the only Jays history I was ever present for: Barfield's 40th HR in 1986, first Jay to do so.

i saw jesse hit many home runs through the windows of the textile mill behind bill meyer stadium in knoxville tennessee when i was very young. one night he broke his bat and my dad asked the batboy if he could have it. quite a treasure now.

Excellent. He was awesome in '85 and '86--Rickey Henderson was better, maybe Dale Murphy, and that was it for outfielders. Years after I saw that game he was at the Skydome for autographs; I of course mentioned being there when he hit his 40th, and--as is usually the case with baseball players--he remembered the pitcher, the count, the pitch, everything.

I’ve been saving this anecdote for a story, but screw it. Too good to squirrel away. Someone suggested Rays pitcher Tyler Glasnow try to get angry before starts. To do this, he would look at pictures of one person. He pulled out his phone and showed me. It was Martin Shkreli. pic.twitter.com/TJHpgp1iTE— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) December 21, 2020

i will give you this heavily cardinals-centered answer: that was jordan hicks' first appearance since 2019, when he had tommy john. the weird thing with him, his whole career, is that he doesn't have a high strikeout %, despite a 104 mph fastball and a wicker slider that's even better. it is bizarre. i am not a pitching expert or stats pro, i have no idea why this happens. but he has always been a pitcher that quickly gets to 2 strikes and then induces weak contact. he's awesome. i love him. he's great. but of all pitchers to have a 22-pitch walk, it's him
― Zach_TBD (Karl Malone), Monday, 15 March 2021 05:34 (three years ago) link
and it's pretty amazing that the average MLB player can at least make consistent contact on 104 mph
― Zach_TBD (Karl Malone), Monday, 15 March 2021 05:35 (three years ago) link
every time i watch him pitch, it's like a wholesome reminder that "these guys are good"
that is cardinals-centric, but also i feel like it might be more relevant than this 80 wRC+ rookie's contact skillz, that's right, sick BURN on the mets, i am officially RE-IGNITING the CARDINALS-METS RIVALRY, and i guarantee 100% cardinal victories this season, starting now, in spring training, right now

luis guillorme is, by every measure for years on end, a defensive genius. also he caught that bat out of fucking mid-air.
dude would be a fucking folk hero in pittsburgh but instead he'll be quad-a fodder in syracuse
