I rarely shoot video of him hitting or pitching. But something told me to break out the camera and film his first AB. I accidentally did it in slow mo (while switching back and forth from doing GameChanger) and sure enough, he hits his first real home run. (5/7)

The @Yankees retired Babe Ruth’s No. 3 on this date in 1948 in what would be his final appearance at Yankee Stadium. The jersey he wore during that ceremony is now part of one of the Museum’s most iconic exhibits. ow.ly/Zo4G50ZbqR6

“We had high expectations coming in and somehow they were exceeded. The hospitality of the HOF team was wonderful. The exhibits were unmatched and were displayed in such a way that couldn’t have been done better. The gallery room was gorgeous and truly special… (1/2)

“I’m so happy that I got a membership to do my little part in helping to contribute to what is such an important place & a slice of history. Everyone should visit the Hall of Fame. Such a special day spending it with my dad. I will spread the word and can’t wait until my return.”

Jumping on air next with the Cardinals crew to talk Carlos Beltrán. Have known Mark Sweeney since 2007 at the Dodgers and was just on with Chip Caray’s son last night in Las Vegas! And Dani just rocks!

Told Murph yesterday that his engagement with the media every day is among the best I’ve seen in over 30 years. Just genuine and honest and as down to earth as they come. Gets to know the reporters and it shows. 👏

From the future 2028 ballpark to tonight’s yard. We’ll collect a couple artifacts from the game and continue to document history. ⚾️

Fourteen years ago today, the @Mariners used a record-tying six pitchers – including closer Tom Wilhelmsen – to complete a no-hitter. Wilhelmsen recently visited Cooperstown with his youth team and donated his glove from that game to the Hall of Fame.

25 years later ‼️ Bobby Witt Jr. reunited in Seattle with Hall of Famer Randy Johnson, who was teammates with Bobby Witt Sr. on the World Series champion 2001 Diamondbacks!

No idea how anyone hits these pitches but Major League Wiffle Ball has come to Doubleday Field and we have seen a couple homers already.
