If you never saw Nolan Ryan in his prime...Jacob Misiorowski has that level of dominance with better control.
Best 8-game stretch of Ryan's career in baserunners allowed

Miz's current 8-game stretch

He’s been a Mudcat and a Mission, a Toro and a Timber, a SeaWolf, a SkySock and a Sound — and now he’s nearing the all-time wins record. One of my favorite stories ever, on the great Rick Sweet, unlocked and free for all: nytimes.com/athletic/7344721… via @NYTimes

What started as a grassroots effort to put Raleigh on Major League Baseball’s expansion radar has grown into a legitimate bid backed by state leaders, a billionaire-led ownership group, and national recognition as one of MLB’s top expansion markets. Now, as the opportunity becomes more real than ever, it’s time to unite the entire state behind one shared vision to bring MLB2NC.
See the full vision at mlb2nc.com #RaleighOnDeck #MLB2NC

After an incredible career it’s awesome to see all his accomplishments and hard work be recognized by Johnny Bench and his committee.
He will be honored pregame on the field July 7th at Great American Ballpark!
Congratulations Lucas!!!

Just finished "Nolan" by Tim Brown. @ByTimBrown perfectly captured the essence of my dad as a player and a man. His book brought back so many wonderful memories. Especially, those shared by former teammates and friends. Great job Tim!

If North Carolina wants to land @MLB, Charlotte should go all-in on the @MLBRaleigh movement.

I can’t put down this new biography “Nolan” by @ByTimBrown, coming out May 19. It’s loaded with vivid detail and stories I’d never heard before—all woven into this beautiful tapestry like only Tim does. Go buy it.

Long after I’m gone… remember, people — you can’t get in a fight with a robot ump.
This is American exceptionalism.

All aboard: Our new Museum Store is now open! 🚂
With a train theme harkening back to the historical connection between baseball and rail travel, the new store will become an unforgettable and educational part of the Museum experience.

Last year, The Atlantic gave me $10K to gamble with. What started as a journalistic gimmick turned into something more... unnerving.

🔥Wow -> The @nytimes just walked into the @washingtonpost backyard, took the sports franchise the Post built and should have fortified, and made it its own. So now the Times will own DC sports…we are in The Simulation.. nytco.com/press/the-athletic…

#Orioles manager Craig Albernaz, #Nationals skipper Blake Butera/GM Anirudh Kilambi among latest former #Rays to get hired in top-level positions with other teams.
Why are ex-Rays getting so many of these jobs?

Many Olympic champions report the same experience: A gold medal doesn't feel as good as they think it will.
I wrote about decades of social psychology research, the "arrival fallacy," and why we’re all so bad about predicting what will make us happy:
