Sick of these buzzkill nerd tools telling me how far the ball would have actually gone. Nobody goes third deck, left center at Citi field. This ball looks like 515ft, just tell me it’s 515ft and let me enjoy it.

This baseball left Ronald Acuña Jr.'s bat at almost 115 MPH but somehow remained in one piece. It went 448 feet!

It's here, entirely my choice. I'm retiring. Appreciated every day of 41 years I've been paid to do what I loved -- writing, covering sports. Without y'all, it wouldn't have been possible. So, thanks from the bottom of my cantankerous heart. Your passion is admirable, beautiful.

Run that would have scored didn’t matter. Barger wasn’t getting a triple if Dean just grabs it and throws it in. Barger just as aggressive on second trying to score the tying run and gets doubled up…. Play changed nothing.
If this damn ball doesn’t get wedged the Blue Jays go on to win this game. Brutal.

Not going to check if this is a joke account, but probably the worst contract you could possibly pick to try to make this point.
I HAVE NO ONE HUNDRED SIXTY TWO MILLION DOLLARS INCLUDING FIFTY SEVEN MILLION DEFERRED IDEA HOW THEY KEEP DOING THIS

5 total college offers between two cy young winners. Probably not a big deal if your 12 yr old has a rough tournament.

I see now they said 3. Had a busy day, my head wasn’t in it. Let the team down. I’ll do better next time.

The number one thing I miss about playing is being around people like Snit. All the ups and downs and he showed up with a great attitude, ready to work, every single day. Can’t explain how hard that is to do for 162, but it sure rubbed off on everyone around him. Champion.

Don’t even know what to say. Catcher hitting 60 is ridiculous.

Strong words from Cam Ward “I grew up watching my Dad wake up at 4:30 for a job he didnt like, so if I can’t wake up early and work hard at a job I do like, I shouldn’t be playing Football”

Now, this is a true leader. Meet Lithuanian basketball coach Saras Jasikevicius. Here’s a clip of him standing by his player and highlighting the importance of parenthood after they missed a semi-final to be there for the birth of their child.

In game player interviews: “How’d that 3 run homer feel?” “Great, I’m happy I hit a 3 run homerun in this playoff game” “Thanks back to the booth”
